Elite Marlins prospect cuts another with a knife in prank gone bad

A Miami Marlins prospect is sidelined indefinitely after the franchise's top draft pick from last year cut him with a knife.

Stone Garrett, the Marlins' minor league player of the year last season, was being flown to Miami to be evaluated by a hand specialist after being cut on the thumb by teammate Josh Naylor in an incident team officials are describing as a prank gone bad.

Michael Hill, the Marlins' president of baseball operations, told the Sun Sentinel that Garrett needed three stitches in his thumb.

"Naylor has a reputation of being a bit of a prankster, but this one obviously went a little too far," Hill said.
