Neither the Marlins nor Polanco are concerned about this keeping him out for an extended stretch. "It's kind of cool out there and we don't want to risk it," manager Mike Redmond said. "He should be good Tuesday or Wednesday." http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_04_02_pm__Marlins_Placido_Polanco_3B-170107.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_04_02_pm__Marlins_Placido_Polanco_3B-170107.html Sun, 03 Mar 2013 16:02:33 EST Placido Polanco was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to mild back tightness. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_12_39_pm__Marlins_Placido_Polanco_3B-170072.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_12_39_pm__Marlins_Placido_Polanco_3B-170072.html Sun, 03 Mar 2013 12:39:33 EST The Marlins have renewed Giancarlo Stanton for $537,000 (or $47,000 over the league minimum) but this will be the last time he'll come bargain-basement cheap. Stanton is eligible for salary arbitration after this season and, assuming he puts up his usual numbers at the plate, he'll start costing the Marlins plenty -- that is, assuming they don't trade him. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_06_02_pm__Marlins_Giancarlo_Stanton_OF-169983.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_06_02_pm__Marlins_Giancarlo_Stanton_OF-169983.html Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:02:33 EST Justin Ruggiano (back) is throwing, but still about 10 days away from game action. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_12_13_pm__Marlins_Justin_Ruggiano_OF-169756.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_01_12_13_pm__Marlins_Justin_Ruggiano_OF-169756.html Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:13:33 EST Jose Fernandez, the Marlins' top prospect, made his Spring Training debut on Thursday morning. The past few days, Fernandez had been taking it easy as he rested a tight right hamstring. "Not a big deal," he said. "I went in to get a massage, it was kind of tight. The day before, I was working at the gym pretty hard. I was kind of tight." For those who arrived early to see the 10 a.m. ET scrimmage, Fernandez gave glimpses of why he is one of the top prospects in the game. The way Fernandez threw on Thursday morning was free and easy. He tossed two scoreless innings, allowing one hit while striking out one. MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list has Fernandez ranked seventh. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_28_11_34_pm__Marlins_Jose_Fernandez_P-169721.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_28_11_34_pm__Marlins_Jose_Fernandez_P-169721.html Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:34:33 EST Mike Redmond said Giancarlo Stanton will get 4 ABs as DH tomorrow vs Twins.

He tweaked his lower back while fielding a ground ball in the outfield last Thursday, and an MRI showed a strain. "The improvement I've had in the past five days is amazing," Ruggiano said on Tuesday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_06_40_pm__Marlins_Justin_Ruggiano_LF-169366.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_26_06_40_pm__Marlins_Justin_Ruggiano_LF-169366.html Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:40:33 EST Casey Kotchman, played in a simulated game in Jupiter earlier Sunday— six days after he sliced open his left ring finger. “He threw and hit and had a couple of at-bats in a simulated game.
