Giancarlo Stanton Has Broken Bone In Hand

By charliewilmoth | June 28, 2015 at 6:16pm CDT

TODAY: Stanton underwent surgery today and is indeed expected to miss 4-6 weeks of action, the Marlins told reporters (including MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro).

SATURDAY, 1:00pm: Stanton’s agent, Joel Wolfe of the Wasserman Media Group, tells ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick that no decision on a specific course of action will be made on his client prior to being re-evaluated later today (Twitter link).

9:25am: Stanton will be out four to six weeks, according to ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian (via Twitter). Frisaro reports (also via Twitter) that Stanton will have surgery and that the injury is to Stanton’s hamate bone.

9:07am: Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton has a broken bone in his hand, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports (all Twitter links). Stanton’s injury occurred while swinging in the ninth inning of yesterday’s game against the Dodgers. The severity of the injury is unknown, although hand injuries can often be troublesome for hitters, affecting their power in particular. MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro tweets that Stanton is experiencing lots of swelling and will likely miss significant time. The injury comes in the midst of a banner season for Stanton, who led the National League in homers with 27 and RBIs with 67. He’s currently hitting .265/.346/.606.

As Rosenthal notes, Stanton’s injury could affect the Marlins’ approach to this summer’s trade market, possibly making them sellers. Rosenthal suggests that, given their huge contract with Stanton, the Marlins are unlikely to trade players who appear set to contribute over the long haul. They could, however, trade more short-term assets, like Mat Latos and Dan Haren, who are both eligible for free agency after the season. Neither of those pitchers are likely to have much trade value, although Haren is in the midst of a decent season.

After a busy offseason that included the acquisitions of Latos, Haren, Dee Gordon, Martin Prado, Michael Morse and Ichiro Suzuki as well as extensions for Stanton and Christian Yelich, the Marlins have been a significant disappointment. They’re in the midst of a five-game losing streak and are currently 30-45, ahead of only the Phillies in the NL East.

    The Tigers will be happy to take Haren and Dunn off the Marlins hands.

    Other than the trade with the Dodgers, everything else they did this winter has failed miserably. Stanton’s injury isn’t as disappointing as it should be to me, because they were already so far out of the race. Still, this has been a miserable season.

    Well, he’s clearly on steroids so I assume he will recover shortly.

    This could be a long term thing for Staton. Jose Tabata, while no where near the caliber of Stanton, Was a decent hitter with line drive power. He broke a hamate bone a few years back and while still hits for some average lost what little power he had. Will be interesting to see what happens to Stanton when he comes back.

        The bone he broke in his hand doesn’t affect power.

          It is about gripping the bat and being able to handle the torque that the rest of the body generates plus the mental part of it. The bone broke while swinging the bat. Will he be able to grip the bat the same and get the same bat speed all while he wonders if he will break a bone again just by swinging. If the bone was not part of the swing, it would not have broken because he swung the bat.

            It’s a fairly common injury in batters. Of course he’ll grip the bat the same once it heals. There’s really no concern. As far as the “mental” aspect, there’s likely none as compared to getting hit in the face with an 88mph fastball.
