Giancarlo Stanton in as Marlins battle Nationals
Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is back in the starting lineup on Monday versus the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Stanton started in right field and logged five innings on Friday night, but was limited to pinch-hitting duties again over the rest of the weekend. Don't expect the slugger to be an everyday option this week as he recovers from a Grade 3 groin strain. On Monday, Stanton is batting fifth against Nationals right-hander A.J. Cole.
Stanton is slashing .242/.329/.490 with a .346 wOBA over 442 plate appearances this season. He has 25 dingers and 71 RBI's, but his 30.8 percent strikeout rate is his highest since his rookie season.
