Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton: Out again Tuesday

Stanton (side) remains out of the lineup Tuesday against the Pirates, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Stanton will miss a seventh consecutive game as he continues to nurse some discomfort in his side. The Marlins believe he's close to a return, however, with reports surfacing earlier in the week suggesting Stanton would likely be back sometime during the team's current series. Miami faces Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Thursday before beginning a three-game set with the Mets on Friday night.
