Stanton (groin) will miss the remainder of the 2016 season, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

Stanton tweaked his groin following an at-bat Saturday night, and the news began to look ominous when it was announced he would end up on the DL early Sunday morning. The team sent him for an MRI, and the results concluded a worst-case scenario: a Grade 3 strain that carries a six-week timetable and likely ends his season. The Marlins may eventually look for a replacement to fill the huge void left by Stanton's bat, but in the short term, Ichiro Suzuki will take over in right field. It's a devastating blow for a Miami squad that was just a half-game behind in the NL Wild Card standings entering Sunday's play.
