Stanton (groin) could rejoin the lineup as soon as this weekend against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

When the injury initially occurred, it was believed that Stanton could be done for the season. He's instead made a number of pinch-hit appearances over the past week and may be ready to return to the field soon. A recent 5-2 run has put the Marlins back on the fringe of playoff contention, and the return of their superstar slugger could give the team and fantasy owners the power push needed to close out the regular season. Expect more information on Stanton's situation as the week progresses.
