News and Notes

Jul 6
Manager Fredi Gonzalez described Uggla's running ability at 50% after the second baseman tested his ankle with some moderate sprints Saturday, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. Recommendation: Gonzalez said he wouldn't be used as a pinch-hitter until he felt Uggla was running at about 75-80%, so expect the slugger to get in minimal game action before the All-Star break. |

All went well, and Uggla said he hopes to take live batting practice on Saturday afternoon at Coors Field. Advice: The second baseman, who has 23 home runs and is a candidate to make the All-Star team, is hopeful to return to the Marlins' starting lineup sometime during their current road trip. At the earliest that may be is on Monday at San Diego. |
