Sometimes it\u2019s just baseball, and the ebb and flow of the season. \u2026 That said, it\u2019s very possible that being out there has helped him a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Voit was named the American League Player of the Week earlier Monday, but he was not in the lineup with the DH spot eliminated in National League parks.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Stanton perhaps got a head start on this week\u2019s award with a solo shot against Braves starter Huascar Ynoa leading off Monday\u2019s second inning, driving a 2-2 slider away over the wall in right for his 21st of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Stanton later snapped a 1-1 tie in the sixth, with a blistering two-run double to left at 119.2 mph before Boone double-switched him out of the game in the bottom half. Over his last 23 games since his initial return to the outfield, Stanton is batting .316 with five homers, 13 walks and 18 RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a unicorn, he does things every night that are a little bit different than anyone else,\u201d Boone said. \u201cEvery time he hits one, I think everyone gets a kick out of going to the [score] board [to see] how hard he hits it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To that end, Stanton said his teammates usually joke with him \u201cis that all you got?\u201d When Boone\u2019s \u201cunicorn\u201d comment was relayed, Stanton added, \u201cThat\u2019s pretty cool. He\u2019s seen a lot of baseball, so it\u2019s cool if I can do something that guys out there every day for years are seeing something new.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
