Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper started the season as the team’s right fielder on Opening Day. He may have ended his season and will undergo surgery on a wrist injury that has been bothering him since the second game of the 2018 season.
The Marlins made the announcement after Cooper suffered a setback in a rehab assignment in Jupiter, Florida with the Hammerheads.
The organization had hoped he would be one of the players moved to the Major Leagues when the team expands its roster on Saturday.
Cooper, who served as a utility player while in South Florida, played a total of 14 games this season in a Marlins uniform.
