Stanton is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro.
Stanton has just five hits in 10 games since rejoining the lineup Sept. 16, so manager Don Mattingly decided to hold him out. Marcell Ozuna will cover right field in Stanton's place, and Derek Dietrich will replace Ozuna in left field.
