EDGE Analysis

He was hit on the knee by a pitch Friday, but he checked out OK. Stanton will head to High-A Tampa for his rehab assignment Monday, assuming everything goes smoothly over the next couple days. It is unclear how long the assignment will be, but it seems possible that he could be an option in weekly leagues for the final week of May.
