Stanton (side) expects to return to the Marlins lineup during the upcoming series with the Pirates, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He once again got in some during batting practice prior to Sunday's game while adding some drills on the field and appears to be on the verge of returning to the lineup. Meanwhile, some further details of the injury have emerged as Stanton indicated he initially got hurt in a collision with Marcel Ozuna on May 15 and aggravated the injury making a throw Tuesday against the Rays. He'll return to a .214/.326/.481 line with 12 home runs and 26 RBI through 43 games.

Stanton (side), who is out of Sunday's lineup, plans to take batting practice prior to the game, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

If everything goes well for Stanton, the hope is that he'll be able to return to action during the upcoming four-game series against the Pirates. Stanton is currently scheduled to miss his fifth straight game Sunday, but seems to be trending in the right direction. Fantasy owners may stand to benefit by checking out the Marlins lineup Monday before make a decision on Stanton for the upcoming lineup period.

Stanton (side) is out of the lineup for the fifth straight game Sunday against the Braves, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton continues to deal with discomfort in his side, proving this can often be a nagging injury, especially for hitters with that type of bat speed. Ichiro Suzuki will get another start at right field in his stead -- his fourth in the last five games. Considering Stanton hasn't even been able to pinch hit during his absence, he should be thought of as questionable, at best, for Monday's series opener against the Pirates.

Stanton (side) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Braves, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton continues to deal with discomfort in his side, and Saturday will mark his fourth consecutive absence. The outfielder took 15 swings off of a tee Friday and did some soft toss in the batting cage, but he remains without a definitive timetable to return to game action. Consider Stanton, who's struggled out to a slow start, day-to-day until the Marlins say otherwise.

Stanton (side) is not in Friday's lineup against the Braves, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will miss his third straight game on Friday after sitting out Wednesday's contest against the Rays and then being held out of the lineup Thursday. Manager Don Mattingly said he had "a little soreness" on his right side and with Stanton's line of .173/.287/.373 in May, this rib soreness could contribute to his slump. Stanton's status for Saturday's game is uncertain, and the Marlins will start Cole Gillespie in right field Friday.

Stanton (side) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rays, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was held out of Wednesday's game with what manager Don Mattingly called "a little soreness" on his right side, and the issue is apparently still persisting. The outfielder should continue to be considered day-to-day, and the Marlins will go with Cole Gillespie in right field Thursday.

Manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that Stanton "has a little soreness" on his right side, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mattingly's announcement gives a bit more context as to why Stanton was left out of the lineup for Wednesday's meeting with the Rays. The slugger hasn't looked like himself at the plate this month, slashing a mere .173/.287/.373 with four home runs and seven RBI compared to the eight home runs and 19 RBI he racked up in April. According to Craig Davis of the Sun Sentinel, Mattingly believes Stanton's rib soreness is minor and the hope is that he won't be sidelined long. Still, Stanton's status heading into Thursday's series finale is uncertain.

Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton hasn't gotten a day off since April 29, and considering the slumping slugger's .140/.246/.280 slash line over the past two weeks, the Marlins decided it was a good time to get him some rest. Ichiro Suzuki will take over in right field in his stead Wednesday.
