Giancarlo Stanton

Stanton was scratched from Monday's starting lineup with a sore left knee, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

Recommendation: Stanton missed time in spring training with the knee injury, so this obviously is a big concern. Chris Coghlan will start in right field in Stanton's place.

How worried should we be about Stanton's knee? It's awfully early in the season for him to already be getting a day off due to soreness, especially with a lingering injury... Could this be something that hinders him all season, or perhaps sends him to the DL?

I hope not. He was one of my keepers going into the season and this knee issue is starting to get me worried. He did have 3 RBI's a couple games in so maybe he just needs a day or two off? It sucks b/c there isn't many articles about it.
