Major League Baseball announced each team's nominee on Tuesday, to the surprise of the unassuming 28-year-old right-hander. "It's an awesome award," Cishek said.

The Marlins were dealt major blows during their 10-game road trip. Not only did they see their shot at the National League Wild Card dwindle down to the point where they're now seven games out of the second spot with 11 contests left, but they also lost Giancarlo Stanton and struggled to put up runs (they were outscored, 41-33).
-Marlins shut down Stanton for rest of 2014 | marlins.com
As expected, the Marlins on Wednesday announced the two-time All-Star right fielder is being shut down for the remainder of 2014. After being examined by team doctors in Miami on Tuesday, it was determined the slugger's facial injuries need more time to heal. "As soon as the injury happened, the most important thing was obviously his health," Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. "That was always at the forefront. We wanted to make sure he received the best care he possibly could get from the second he was carted off the field."

-Braves with decisions to make after disappointing '14 | MLB.com
ATLANTA -- Though a near-perfect conclusion might miraculously vault them into the playoffs, the Braves are much more likely to spend this season's final week tasting the disappointment that has followed them for most of this year. Then, when it is all said and done, the organization will decide whether it will dismiss a general manager or manager for the first time since 1990. This possibility seemed to be out of the question just one year ago, when the Braves captured their first division title since 2005. But the 12 months that have followed have altered the landscape and given the club's top executives reason to assess the direction of the franchise.
