Giancarlo Stanton is doing "much better," one day after sustaining facial fractures and other injuries when he was struck in the face by an 88-mph pitch.

Stanton issued the following statement on Twitter: "The amount of support I have received from you guys has been tremendous & Heartfelt. I'm much better today & deeply appreciate your prayers!"

The Miami Marlins have not definitively said Stanton's season is over, though Mike Redmond strongly suggested he does not expect Stanton back in 2014.
