“Encouraging. I only planned on going four maybe five innings there, but he was doing well and we kind of talked through it there,” Boone said of Stanton’s return. ‘“Obviously got off some good swings. Smoked a ball back up the middle for the out. Made a great throw to the plate early in that game. I thought he was moving good on the bases. Obviously the next thing is getting with him tonight, seeing how he responds, seeing how he is tomorrow. Right now my plan would be to DH him. We got to make sure going into tomorrow he’s OK and bounces back. I though a nice step for him.”
