According to Jon Heyman, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria is quite interested in bringing Rodriguez on to play first base for the remainder of the year.

“We lost a little confidence knowing the big guy is going to be on the DL”, third baseman Martin Prado said.
Hill said Marlins officials are beginning to examine outside options and said former Yankee Alex Rodriguez, a Miami native, will be considered.
“When I saw it looked like he got shot”, Mattingly said.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that once Rodriguez left Yankee Stadium, he didn’t expect the star to join another team. “If it’s [Rodriguez], if it’s someone else, we’re going to try to find a way to make it happen”.
“We’re putting together our list of options”. But the Nationals later turned in a revised lineup about 90 minutes prior to game time that listed Harper batting third in the series finale against the Atlanta Braves.
He needs only four homers to become the fourth player to hit 700, and the looming milestone might be a lure to continue his 22-year career.
The Marlins also placed left-hander Adam Conley on the 15-day disabled list Sunday.
Stanton was to undergo an MRI after hurting his left groin trying to stretch a single into a double Saturday night. And the injuries are one thing, but as we’re seeing with Trout, when a great, exciting player consistently puts up elite regular-season numbers as his team consistently finishes out of the money, it starts to get frustrating. He went down awkwardly and was tagged out at second base to end an 8-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Rodriguez spokesman Ron Berkowitz says in a statement Monday: “I want to put all this talk to rest about Alex playing for any team this season”. “You just see the leg give out”.
“You have to make them make a good play, and they did”, Ventura said. Conley bruised his pitching hand when he jumped up and banged it in celebration of a home run by Jeff Mathis on the low dugout ceiling August 3 at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Conley gave up five runs in four innings and said he has been pitching with soreness in his pitching hand that has been getting worse.
The injury was diagnosed as tendinitis. He hasn’t won since his suspension for cutting up the team’s throwback jerseys July 23, but his ERA over the past five starts is a solid 3.03. Mattingly said it would likely force Conley to miss a turn, so the Marlins made a decision to put the youngster on the DL to give him a breather.
The Marlins recalled infielder Robert Andino and left-hander Hunter Cervenka from Triple-A New Orleans to fill the roster opening and released right-hander Cody Hall.
