MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Things have not been going very well for the Miami Marlins since the All-Star Break ended.
Slugger Giancarlo Stanton and left-hander Adam Conley have been placed on the disabled list by the Marlins, a double whammy for a team seeking its first playoff berth since 2003.
The moves were made before Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox.
Stanton hurt his groin trying to stretch a single into a double and was tagged out at second base to end Saturday's 8-7 loss to 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. He hurt his hand banging it on the roof of the dugout at Wrigley Field celebrating a teammate's home run on Aug. 3.
Infielder Robert Andino and reliever Hunter Cervenka were called up from Triple-A New Orleans.
