Stanton returns after month-long DL stint

JustinVerlander35 · Aug 7, 2012

The Marlins have reinstated Giancarlo Stanton from the disabled list and he'll be available for tonight's game against the Mets at Citi Field. Stanton had been on the DL since July 8 with a right knee injury.

Stanton appeared in four rehab games at Class A Jupiter, going 5-for-16 (.313) with a double, two home runs and five RBIs. He homered on Sunday.

For a lineup struggling to score runs, the 22-year-old has been greatly missed.

He underwent a scope on the knee on July 8, and the recovery time was set at four to six weeks.

In the 25 games that he missed, the Marlins have averaged 2.8 runs per game. They have hit 13 home runs and driven in 63 RBIs.

Stanton still leads Miami in home runs (19) and RBIs (50).
