PT TOMORROW: NL East—Is injury to blame for Stanton's slump?
Jun 13 2016
Giancarlo Stanton (OF, MIA) has reportedly been bothered by a sore right side since a May 15 outfield collision with Marcell Ozuna (OF, MIA).

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...
