Griffin Conine Diagnosed With Hamstring Tear; Surgery Likely
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Marlins outfielder Griffin Conine has suffered a torn left hamstring and will likely need surgery, leading to an extended absence from play; he has been placed on the 10-day injured list with Deyvison De Los Santos called up as his replacement.
- Conine is coming off a challenging 2025 season marked by a dislocated shoulder that required surgery, and this new injury compounds his recovery struggles.
- The Marlins are currently dealing with multiple outfield injuries, including Kyle Stowers and Esteury Ruiz, leaving them short-handed and forcing lineup adjustments with platooning options and limited outfield experience from De Los Santos.
- De Los Santos, primarily a right-handed batter without outfield experience, will not directly fill Conine’s role, prompting the Marlins to consider other players like Heriberto Hernández, Austin Slater, or Javier Sanoja to cover left field against right-handed pitchers.
- Conine’s recovery timeline remains uncertain, but he may be moved to the 60-day injured list if surgery is performed, which would free up a spot on the 40-man roster.
