Giancarlo Stanton said he's "making a little progress" with his intercostal strain. Stanton is out of the lineup Sunday for the sixth straight game, but he expects to return at some point this season. "Throwing is better and running is better, so making a little progress there," Stanton said. "Hitting is the main thing right now. I've taken a few swings to see the initial [effect]. You can tell after one what's going on."
