Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton: Plans to return Tuesday

Stanton (wrist) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics and may be available to pinch hit Sunday against the Pirates, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

This is great news for the Marlins and Stanton owners alike, as it sounds like the slugger's wrist injury will not cause him to miss extended time. The star left fielder will bring his 16 homers and 42 RBI back to the heart of the Marlins' lineup Tuesday.
