Giancarlo Stanton took live batting practice Wednesday for the first time since straining his right hamstring.
"He looked good," manager Mike Redmond said afterward. "I’m just going off the results. He was hitting them out. It’s another encouraging sign that he’s a little closer to being back on the field." Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 and is still without a timetable. The best guess is that he's activated around mid-June. May 23 - 9:00 AM

Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could begin jogging sometime next week.

That's what Marlins skipper Mike Redmond told reporters on Saturday afternoon. Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 with a severe right hamstring strain and is being limited currently to pool workouts. There is no timetable for his return to Miami.
May 18 - 4:26 PM

Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) remains limited to running in a pool.

There's no timetable for when he might be ready to resume baseball activities. "No baseball activity but he’s running in the pool," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "I just go by what they tell me. From what I’ve heard, it’s a similar type of strain from what (Casey) Kotchman has. It’s taken a while for him. We really don’t have a time frame. It just depends on how fast he heals and how fast he feels like he can get back on the field."

Marlins manager Mike Redmond indicated Friday that Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) "a ways off" and that there is currently no timetable for his return.

Obviously with the Marlins already out of contention, there is no need for them to rush their franchise superstar back to the lineup earlier than he needs to. Marcel Ozuna will continue to fill in while Stanton is sidelined.

An MRI taken Tuesday on Giancarlo Stanton's injured right hamstring revealed a Grade 2 strain.

It's a fairly severe injury that will likely sideline Stanton for more than three weeks. He was officially placed on the disabled list Tuesday afternoon. The Marlins called up Marcell Ozuna to provide needed depth in the outfield.
Apr 30 - 4:12 PM

Marlins placed OF Giancarlo Stanton on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain.

Stanton was injured during Monday's extra-innings win over the Mets when he hurt himself while running to first on a groundout. He was able to walk off the field with a little limp, but more won't be known about how long he'll be sidelined until he undergoes an MRI. The Fish have called up Marcell Ozuna, and he figures to play regularly in right field.
Apr 30 - 2:20 AM

Giancarlo Stanton left Monday's game with a right hamstring injury.

Stanton grabbed the hamstring and fell to the ground in pain after he grounded out in the 10th. He was able to put weight on the leg as he exited the field with a trainer, but a trip to the disabled list is almost certainly coming. The Marlins should update his status after the game.
Apr 29 - 10:51 PM

Giancarlo Stanton went 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Stanton got the scoring going for the Marlins with a two-run shot in the first, he tied the game up with an RBI single in the sixth and finally capped off his day with a solo shot in the eighth. After a slow start, the slugger has now gone deep three times over the last two contests, and he's raised his average from .163 to .243 over the last seven games.
Apr 28 - 4:15 PM

Giancarlo Stanton slugged his first home run of the season Saturday in the Marlins' loss to the Cubs.

The first-inning bomb cleared the scoreboard in left field at Marlins Park and was estimated at 440 feet. Stanton is beginning to find his power stroke and is definitely capable of going on a tear. Buy low if you still can.
Apr 27 - 10:11 PM

Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with two RBI in the Marlins' 8-5 win over the Twins on Tuesday.

It's been tough sledding for Stanton in the early going, as the two hits raised his average to .200 on the young season. A shoulder contusion is partly to blame for his struggles -- he missed a week of games due to the injury, and he has yet to hit a home run this season. Between the injury and his supporting cast, it's tough not to get discouraged about Stanton's outlook. Even so, the power is there and when it returns, he will get his share of home runs.
Apr 24 - 12:34 AM

Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) is back in the Marlins' starting lineup on Thursday against the Reds.

Stanton wound up missing a whole week because of a left shoulder contusion. He is batting just .167/.342/.233 with 12 strikeouts in nine games played this season, but the young slugger can get it going in a hurry.
Apr 18 - 3:09 PM

Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) is expected to return to the Marlins' starting lineup Thursday in Cincinnati.

Stanton is missing a sixth straight game Wednesday due to a left shoulder contusion. The young slugger was batting just .167 with a .575 OPS in nine games before the injury but should be able to get his bat going quickly.
Apr 17 - 4:37 PM

Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) is out of the lineup for the sixth straight game Wednesday.

Apr 17 - 2:55 PM

Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) is out of the Marlins' lineup again Tuesday.

Stanton hasn't played since last Wednesday due to a left shoulder contusion, but he's expected to take some swings prior to Tuesday's game. The hope is that he won't have to miss much more time. Chris Coghlan will take his place in right field Tuesday.
Apr 16 - 2:32 PM

Giancarlo Stanton will test out his ailing left shoulder with some swings prior to Tuesday's game.

Stanton hasn't played since last Wednesday because of a left shoulder contusion, but he's feeling much better and it sounds like he could be back in there as soon as Tuesday. "It’s gotten significantly better," Stanton said. "Before I couldn’t even lift my arm up at all. Each day is better. It feels like it’s being compressed or pinched."
