Justin Bour avoided a major injury last Tuesday when he dislocated his pinky finger sliding into second base.
Despite losing a series to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Miami Marlins have been playing excellent baseball. Part of the reason for their success is that they have remained healthy. At this time last year, key contributors Christian Yelich, Jose Fernandez, and Henderson Alvarez were on the disabled list. This year, the Marlins have suffered a few injuries to the bullpen, but players such as David Phelps and Kyle Barraclough have stepped up as strong replacements.
