Giancarlo Stanton (knee) said Wednesday that "it'll probably be around 2 weeks" before he returns from the disabled list. Stanton underwent surgery on July 8 to remove two small cartilage chips from his right knee. He began hitting in the cage last week and took batting practice on the field at Marlins Park on Monday. While he's progressing quite nicely, the real test will be how he responds to running. As of right now, a return in mid-August is likely.
