Marlins’ Stanton May Miss Rest Of Season, Fernandez Nearing Return

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Marlins 2015 season has been a major disappointment from just about every angle.

The team has long been out of the playoff hunt and injuries to its two best players have kept fans away from attending home games.

There has been talk that both of those players, slugger Giancarlo Stanton and pitching ace Jose Fernandez, would return before the end of the season. Now it seems that only one may make it back to the lineup.

Marlins manager Dan Jennings said he expects Fernandez to return sometime in mid-September. The 22-year-old pitcher suffered a biceps strain that has kept him out of commission since early August.
