June 26, 200620 yr Rookie second baseman Dan Uggla remains hopeful that he'll return this week, but there's a chance he might not play until after the All-Star break. Uggla, who leads the Marlins with 13 home runs, hasn't been able to run without pain since he left Tuesday's game with a strained right hamstring. --- The Marlins, knowing hamstring injuries can take a while to fully heal, are considering a conservative approach with Uggla. They might keep him benched for the next two weeks, hoping to have him return July 13, the first game after the break. Palm Beach Post If Dan is out another few days, we got to put him on the DL. We are playing with a short bench right now. Then again, if he plays tonight, all this is moot.
June 26, 200620 yr Sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats probably gonna kill any chance he had at going the the ASG.
June 26, 200620 yr Damn, if he's out til the ASG, that's 14 games from now. Not good, we really need him.
June 26, 200620 yr Damn, if he's out til the ASG, that's 14 games from now. Not good, we really need him. we are 2-3 without him, but I think with Hammer back and now Amez leading off, we should still have the offence for our pitching to hopefully carry.

You should check this team record with Reggie starting.
June 26, 200620 yr He's this year's Clint Barmes. Got off to a great start and then the injury bug hits. Hope he gets well soon.
June 26, 200620 yr even though i did think of it too, please dont compare Uggla to Barmes, who had a nasty freak accident while Uggla merely has a tight hamstring....lets not jump to put a jinx on our breakout star :thumbup
June 26, 200620 yr He goes on the DL...Andino up? if they wanna put him on the DL, thats deffinately the best option
June 26, 200620 yr This means more Reggie........... Make the most out of your new found opprotunity Reggie. If this turns out to be true, this means no ASG for Uggla. That would suck considering all he has been through. Hopefully he doesn't have to go on the DL.
June 26, 200620 yr I hope we put Uggla on the DL retro to (Last Tues). I want him to be 100%. No need to rush him. Is there anyone else other than Andino who can take his spot?

June 26, 200620 yr Author I hope we put Uggla on the DL retro to (Last Tues). I want him to be 100%. No need to rush him. Is there anyone else other than Andino who can take his spot? If Andino's arrival meant Amezega to centerfield and Reggie sitting, it's the least of two evils. Andino hasnt played much 2b for the Topes this year. I realize he could probably play 2b fairly well, but it's not a fore gone conclusion. Here's an idea: Hanley in CF, Andino at SS, Amezaga at 2b.... then again, Hanley hasnt played any CF this year
June 26, 200620 yr I am worried about if Mezzy some how gets hurt doing the game, who plays 2B? There is nobody on the team that I know if that can play 2B. So if Andino cant play 2B who would we bring up? Argh Uggla.. why couldnt you just stay healthy. Hanley in CF :confused . That might get Uggla.
June 26, 200620 yr i actually wouldnt mind seeing hanley get a shot in center field, he has the speed and the arm...wonder if he has the instincts...i think andino could be semi productive as our shortstop with uggla at 2nd...who knows though
June 26, 200620 yr Is he officially on the DL? B/c if he is that means he cant make the all-star team right?
June 26, 200620 yr Hanley in CF :confused . That might get Uggla. why's that? Some have said that is where he would eventually end up in his career
June 26, 200620 yr that news is killer to me, really wanted to see him come back sometime this series, im hoping all goes well.
June 26, 200620 yr Goes to show you how much the Marlins (and the fans) have come to depend on Dan Uggla because he's only been out five days and it feels like a hundred years.
June 26, 200620 yr Bad timing for Uggla. I was really hoping to see him in the ASG! It does seem like an eternity since he's been out.
June 26, 200620 yr the injury bug has hit us hard.... Uggla K-mart Mitre Hermida Hammer Jacobs Cabs got fat why cant we stay healthy? we need Uggla bad and if not call up Andino....anything but Reggie
