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.

Jul 5 Joe Capozzi, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Florida Marlins 2B Dan Uggla (ankle) took batting practice before the team's game Saturday, July 5. He also took ground balls at second base. KFFL


Jul 5 Uggla, out with a sprained ankle, spent about 10 minutes hitting in the batting cage on Friday, according to the Marlins' official Web site. 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.
