It was expected at some point Giancarlo Stanton would have to react to getting hit by a pitch.

Stanton was plunked in the hip by a Henderson Alvarez fastball during an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday. To his credit, Stanton said the errant pitch didn't bother him at all.

"Feels good," he said. "No thoughts, 100 percent fine. Didn't have one thought about it."
