Stanton went 1-for-4, hitting his second home run in two games against the Brewers this weekend.
EDGE Analysis
The projected distance on the mammoth home run was 460 feet. Stanton is red hot, as he has a bomb in five of his last six games. He is also 9-for-22 (.409) with nine RBI during that stretch.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.
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.

Stanton hit his sixth home run, a three-run shot in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.
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. Stanton's latest stretch shows that a slow start for power hitters is often nothing to worry about -- in the past three days he has increased his slugging percentage from .368 all the way to .536.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer, a walk, and a pair of RBI in Monday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.
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. After going hitless in his last 12 at-bats, hopefully the multi-hit effort will launch him onto a hot streak. April has been a bit of a struggle for the slugger, as his slash line sits at .230/.324/.443.

Stanton is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
After getting his first day off of the season Thursday, Stanton will get back into the order at the cleanup spot for the Marlins' series opener in San Francisco. Stanton had been slumping a bit by his standards leading into his day off, batting .217 over the last week. He'll be facing San Francisco right-hander Jeff Samardzija.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has yet to really get anything going with the bat, so manager Don Mattingly decided to give him his first day off of the season Thursday in hopes of providing a spark. Ichiro Suzuki will get the start in right field Thursday in Stanton's place.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored on Monday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton is off to a slow start this year, hitting just .238 early on. Although the slugger has three home runs in 42 at-bats, he has no other extra-base hits thus far. Stanton is a career .269 hitter and has prodigious power. His bat should pick up sooner rather than later.

Stanton popped a two-run home run off of Mets' starter Steven Matz as the Marlins cruised to a 10-3 victory Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton's two-run homer sent Matz to the showers before he could even get out of the second inning, capping a seven-run frame for the Marlins. It was Giancarlo's second home run of the season and he also added a walk and a run scored on the night. Slashing .286/.333/.571 through the season first five games, Staton is primed for another monster year batting out of the cleanup spot in Miami.

Stanton slugged a two-run home run in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He also drew a walk over five plate appearances in the Marlins' season opener. Stanton gave the team a shot in the arm Tuesday and they eventually tied things up before losing the game in extras. Stanton showed no signs of rust despite missing the final 88 games of the 2015 season and remains a constant threat to leave the yard.
