The Miami Marlins have to be disappointed with their season, and part of that disappointment has to involve Giancarlo Stanton and his extended recovery from a hamate bone fracture suffered in late June. The initial word on Stanton's injury is that the hamate bone fracture could take six to eight weeks for recovery given that the planned intervention was surgical excision of the hamate bone. This is now standard of care in patients with this type of injury, especially in patients who are athletes. This sort of injury is common in gripping bat-like objects like in golf or baseball.
