Ichiro Suzuki drove in a runner from second base with a sacrifice bunt. “We’re right in the thick of this thing and we are going to do everything in our power to help in any way we can”, Hill said. It sounds insane, but Marlins manager, Don Mattingly said,”There’s no reason [Rodriguez] couldn’t play first”. He is a Miami native so it would help draw in fans, and he could help replace some of the power that was lost when Stanton got put on the disabled list.

Stanton strained his groin Saturday and is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks. “We’ll have a little different look”.
Stanton suffered the injury on an awkward slide in the ninth inning of Saturday’s loss to the White Sox. He was tagged for the final out of the game and was slow to rise.
“I think we’re going to look at everything”. Jeff made a hell of a play making the catch and putting the tag on him. “I was looking at (my teammates) and they were pumped, and I said, ‘This is pretty sweet'”.
Chicago manager Robin Ventura said Sanchez was right to be aggressive. But he hasn’t played much in the field since 2013, complicating any role he might have with a National League team. “It was a great throw”. Sale has a record of 0-4 for his last six starts and has allowed his ERA to build up to 4.43. I refused, I was like, we didn’t do anything wrong, so – I’m not getting down on the ground. “It’s frustrating. It would be frustrating for anybody”. “Just playing the game I’ve been playing all my life”.
Omar Narvaez may be the White Sox’s catcher of the future, but first he needs a chance to prove himself. “It would be frustrating for anybody”, Sale said to a reporter after Sunday’s game.
“I still wish it would’ve been different and that he would’ve been extremely productive”, Girardi said.
Rodriguez needs only four homers to become the fourth player to hit 700, and the looming milestone could eventually lure him into continuing his 22-year career.
Ramirez had three hits Sunday. Mike Dunn (3-1) pitched a flawless seventh. That’s a big part of what we believe in with the running game, is, ‘Can we affect the pitcher? However, it was in the 8th inning when he picked up his first hit of the day.
“I ain’t complaining. It’s a blessing”, Andino, 32, said of his return to the big leagues. That drove in Adeiny Hechavarria, who reached on an infield hit that stood up to a replay challenge by Chicago. He walked as a pinch-hitter in the eighth Sunday. The Marlins swept a three-game set from the Reds in July.
