Stanton struck out in all four of his plate at-bats during Wednesday's loss to the Phillies, wrapping a hitless three-game set with the division rivals.

EDGE Analysis

It's been quite the streaky start to the season for Stanton, who is batting just .098/.196/.195 in his last 12 games (41 at-bats). In the 11 games prior, he belted seven home runs while slashing .395/.531/.1.026. The power production is as expected overall, but with a meager .221 average and .335 OBP, the slugger has been more of an all-or-nothing proposition in 2016.

Stanton is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Phillies, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton will be rested for just the third time this season, giving way to Ichiro Suzuki in right field, who will also lead off the contest. Stanton is currently on pace for a career-best .984 OPS, and sits at third in the National League with 10 home runs. After going without a base knock Saturday to snap a three-game hitting streak, he'll get a regular maintenance day, though look for the slugger to be available off the bench in a pinch-hit situation.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Ichiro Suzuki will take over in right field for Stanton and bat leadoff Friday with manager Don Mattingly giving his star slugger the night off. Friday is believed to just be a routine day off for Stanton, so he figures to rejoin the lineup Saturday in Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton now has three home runs in three days, and this one may have been the sweetest, a three-run blast off Clayton Kershaw that proved to be a game-winner.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton followed his solo blast in the fourth with an RBI double the next inning, accounting for two of Miami's three runs. The 26-year-old slugger has gone yard in consecutive contests, and is up to five dingers in 17 games. What separates Stanton from most of the other guys off to fast starts in the home run department is that he actually possesses the power to sustain this pace over a full season, health permitting.

Stanton went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk Sunday at the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton's fourth blast of the season gave the Marlins an early lead in a game they'd eventually win.
