Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton played the first five innings Tuesday for Class A Jupiter, his first appearance as part of a minor-league rehab assignment. Stanton went 0 for 3, while playing right field.
It is not known how long the team wants him to be on his rehab assignment, but he could get extra playing time, as the Hammerheads are playing a doubleheader Tuesday. He's expected to be the designated hitter in the second game.
According to MLB.com, the team hopes Stanton can return to the field within a week.
