Giancarlo Stanton shares his face injury picture

Giancarlo Stanton

Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton is still recovering after he was hit in the face by a pitch during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers last week.

Stanton suffered multiple facial fractures and dental damage after taking a fastball to the cheek. We knew the injuries were nasty from the way they were described, but the 24-year-old slugger provided us with visual evidence on Tuesday.

We’ve added the full version of the photo.

“The Aftermath…Making huge progress!!” Stanton wrote. “Want to thank everyone who has played a part in my recovery process. Your kind messages, thoughts & prayers have meant the world to me. Pushing forward.”

As you can see, Stanton’s face is still very swollen. He also had a crater above his lip where the ball hit him, so that is probably going to take quite some time to heal. With just 13 games remaining in the season, it seems highly unlikely that we’re going to see the NL MVP candidate again in 2014.
