Giancarlo Stanton is injured, the Miami Marlins are desperate, and Marlins fans are upset. We gathered information from last night until this morning, and those are the conclusions we came up with. Of course, Stanton and the Marlins do not live in a vacuum, and other areas of the internet are responding to Stanton's injury. Here's what a number of folks had to say.
- Will Carroll does not feel good about Stanton's recovery time for this injury.
Severe hamstring strain for Giancarlo Stanton. He'll hit the DL and sounds like he could miss significant time. I'll have more soon at B/R.

Earlier today, we mentioned that Stanton could be out between three weeks and three months, depending on the severity of the injury.

The Marlins brought up Marcell Ozuna, likely to replace Stanton in the lineup. In case you forgot about him, here's Minor League Ball's John Sickels on the topic.
4) Marcell Ozuna, OF, Grade B: Very dangerous power hitter had no problems hitting homers in difficult Florida State League at age 21. Will Double-A pitchers take advantage of his aggressiveness? Perhaps, but I am (for some reason) optimistic about his chances to adjust.
