This latest injury occurred in the Marlins’ 8-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday as Stanton was called out sliding for the final out of the game. However, Stanton still posted strong offensive totals, blasting 27 HRs and 67 RBIs in the injury-shortened season.

Miami Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton will miss the remainder of the season with a left groin injury suffered during Saturday’s loss to the Chicago White Sox. At least one of the AL East teams looks to have a Wild Card locked up, but with the Detroit Tigers, Seattle Mariners, and Houston Astros very much alive and even the New York Yankees planning to stir up trouble, the Orioles are going to need every win they can get. “We’ll see what happens with that”.
Stanton, 25, was having a down season by his standards, slashing 0.244/0.329/0.496 but his power was still there as evidenced by his 25 home runs and 70 runs batted in.
The White Sox got a bit of a boost this weekend in Miami thanks to another strong outing by Carlos Rodon and a comeback win, though they couldn’t salvage the Chris Sale start Sunday as the White Sox took two of three from the Marlins. “We’re second and third with no outs and all of a sudden we’ve got two outs and I just was trying to get a good jump”.
Alex Rodriguez reacts while running out to third base in the ninth inning of his last game as a player with the Yankees. [Rodriguez] is available, so he will be on that list.
Rodriguez, who must clear waivers on Monday before the Marlins could sign him, is just four home runs short of the reaching 700 career home runs. “We’ll see where that goes”. “If not, we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do”. But he has played little in the field since 2013, complicating any role he might have with an NL team.
Conley bruised his pitching hand when he jumped up and banged it in celebration on the low dugout ceiling last week at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Sale gave up five runs in 6 2/3 innings.
The injury was diagnosed as tendinitis. Jose Quintana (9-8, 2.85 ERA) will take on Corey Kluber (12-8, 3.21 ERA). Mattingly said it probably would force Conley to miss a turn, so the Marlins chose to put him on the DL to give him a breather.
