He once again got in some during batting practice prior to Sunday's game while adding some drills on the field and appears to be on the verge of returning to the lineup. Meanwhile, some further details of the injury have emerged as Stanton indicated he initially got hurt in a collision with Marcel Ozuna on May 15 and aggravated the injury making a throw Tuesday against the Rays. He'll return to a .214/.326/.481 line with 12 home runs and 26 RBI through 43 games.
