An MRI revealed a "loose body" in Giancarlo Stanton's right knee. Stanton had issues with his left knee earlier this season, and now his right knee is giving him trouble. While it might be something he could have cleaned up over the offseason, it's not a major concern right now and he remains day-to-day. The slugger is hoping to be back in the lineup Friday.

Giancarlo Stanton was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to a sore right knee. Stanton is also dealing with general fatigue. However, he should be back in the lineup on Wednesday and it will have no impact on his availability for the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby.

Giancarlo Stanton stayed hot in Sunday's win over the Phillies, ripping his 19th home run of the season. Stanton took Joe Blanton deep for a solo shot in the third. The bomb was his second in two days, and fifth since June 21. The National League's Player of the Month in May, Stanton hit just .242/.339/.453 in June.

Giancarlo Stanton belted a massive home run and drove home two, powering the Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the Phillies on Saturday. He finished the day 2-for-3, plus an intentional walk and a stolen base. His first inning blast off Cole Hamels traveled an estimated 423 feet. He's enjoying an outstanding season, hitting .279 with 18 homers and 49 RBI and will be an absolute must-watch in the Home Run Derby on July 9 in Kansas City.

Giancarlo Stanton will participate in the Home Run Derby on July 9 in Kansas City. It should be a fantastic show. Stanton has 17 home runs this season despite playing half his games in one of baseball's most pitcher-friendly parks. He is already one of the game's elite sluggers at age 22.

Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk against the Red Sox on Thursday. Stanton was hitting just .172 with one homer and three RBI in June before tonight. He's a logical candidate to represent the Marlins in the All-Star Game, but it would help matters if he picked it up over the next 10 days.

Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Nationals. The man formally known as Mike will end the month of May with 12 home runs and 30 RBI in 29 games. This, after he went deep just once in 21 April contests. Stanton has been streaky throughout his young career, but the owner of perhaps the most raw power in the game, he shouldn't be expected to be anything less than a force going forward. He's hitting .304/.376/.597 through Miami's first 51 games.

Giancarlo Stanton belted a grand slam in Monday's comeback win over the Rockies. The Rockies got out to a 4-0 first-inning lead, but the Marlins turned it on in the five-run fourth inning, capped off by the Stanton blast. The 22-year-old now has eight bombs this month after hitting just one out in April.

Giancarlo Stanton hit his fifth homer in seven games Saturday against the Padres. This one was a pretty meaningless solo shot off Miles Mikolas in his major league debut, but it still counts in the stats. At this rate, Stanton should be back in the cleanup spot for the Marlins before long.
