July 10, 201511 yr Casey will start tomorrow. Guesses on where he hits? middle of the order. I hope Redmond is enjoying just collecting Jeffrey's money and not having to put up with this disaster. (Ozzie too)
July 11, 201511 yr So is Prado's injury worse than previously diagnosed? He's sat the last couple days on his rehab assignment, just wondering if this is the real reason for picking up McGehee again.
July 11, 201511 yr Author So is Prado's injury worse than previously diagnosed? He's sat the last couple days on his rehab assignment, just wondering if this is the real reason for picking up McGehee again. Nope. He will play during the All-Star break in the field.
July 11, 201511 yr Martin Prado could return to lineup on Sunday; Henderson Alvarez on brink of rehab stint, Jose Fernandez to make first start after break, plus more Marlins news and notesThe Marlins might not have to wait until after the All-Star break to welcome the return of third baseman Martin Prado. He could be back with them on Sunday. "There's a chance he could be in the lineup (Sunday)," said manager Dan Jennings. "I think Martin's ready. I think his bat's ready." Prado has been on the disabled list since June 15 with a right shoulder sprain. ______________ Henderson Alvarez will likely begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Single A Jupiter on either Sunday or Monday. Alvarez, who has been on the DL since May 23 with right shoulder inflammation, threw a bullpen session on Friday. Jennings said Alvarez would start out by throwing 45 pitches for the Hammerheads. "Everything's positive, trending the right way," Jennings said of Alvarez, the Marlins' Opening Day starter. "I think we're moving in a big hurry towards him beginning his rehab -- Sunday or Monday -- in Jupiter." ______________ Jose Fernandez will get the first start after the All-Star break for the Marlins. Beyond that, the rotation becomes murky, mainly due to the uncertainty surrounding Mat Latos. Latos was scratched from Saturday's start against the Reds due to bruising and swelling on his right foot. Latos said he thinks he'll be OK to pitch after the All-Star break. "Nothing's broken, so nothing's serious," Latos said. Latos was sitting in the dugout during Thursday's game when a foul ball off the bat of Christian Yelich struck his foot. "Got hit in the toes," Latos said. "It sounds styupid just to say it, but it it what it is They're just really swollen. The whole underneath of both my toes are black and blue. If I can't walk, I can't pitch." Latos has battled numerous injuries this season. Asked if the rash of injuries have made this a frustrating season for him, Latos replied: "Its actually kind of comical when you look at it. Im in the dugout watching a ballgame and I get hit with a line drive on my toes. What else can I do other than stay in (the clubhouse during the game) or wrap myself in bubble wrap and sit in the dugout?" The Marlins called up left-hander Adam Conley from Triple A New Orleans to make the emergency start Saturday. Conley, who was up with the Marlins briefly earlier in the season and made one relief outing, will be making his first major-league start today. ________________ Backup infielder Don Kelly, who has been on the disabled list since April with a broken finger, revealed Saturday that he has a "significant tear" in his right elbow and is scheduled to see Dr. James Andrews on Monday. Tommy John surgery is a possibility. Kelly said he was playing through elbow discomfort before a ground ball broke his finger. "If it was (just) the finger, I probably would have been back in four weeks," Kelly said. "When I came back from the finger, we got an MRI (on the elbow) and had a significant tear." ________________ Casey McGehee, who doubled off the wall in a pinch-at-bat on Friday in his first game back for the Marlins, is starting at third base for them today.
July 13, 201511 yr Author Dietrich's OPS is 287 points higher than McGehee's. 287 Not that he'll sustain it, but Casey hasn't exactly been bad the last 2 days
July 13, 201511 yr Not that he'll sustain it, but Casey hasn't exactly been bad the last 2 days bandwagon
