A dismal Miami Marlins season just got worse. The team has placed Giancarlo Stanton on the disabled list and according to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, Stanton will likely miss the better part of a month, if not more. To be honest, I’m not sure things can get much worse for the Marlins, though we’re about to find out. But for fantasy owners who already haveâ...

Patrick Corbin threw five scoreless innings before tiring in his final inning-plus. Corbin...
Gerardo Parra Is Doing Good Things
Entering the spring, Gerardo Parra was once again a man without a home. After a starting a career-high 124 times in 2011, and doing so handily, Parra shifted back into part-time status in 2012. But with Adam Eaton and Cody Ross both suffering injuries before the season began, and Jason Kubel landing on the disabled list with a strained left quad two weeks into it, Parra has once...
