PT TOMORROW: NL East—Is injury to blame for Stanton's slump?

Miami Marlins

Giancarlo Stanton (OF, MIA) has reportedly been bothered by a sore right side since a May 15 outfield collision with Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA). Though Stanton was in the lineup the following day, he missed about a week of action in late-May and has struggled since the incident, batting .108 with 1 HR, 4 RBI and 35K in 65 AB. Details pertaining to Stanton’s injury haven’t been made public, so we don’t know the extent of the injury. However, it is apparently still an issue, as the team is still resting him occasionally, trying to keep him in the lineup and off the disabled list.

If there comes a time when Stanton is forced to the disabled list, Ichiro Suzuki (OF, MIA) would presumably play in his stead, as he did late last...

Almost!
