Griffin Conine Suffers Shoulder Injury During Marlins Loss In Philadelphia

Saturday's 11-10 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park meant five straight losses for the Miami Marlins, but the team will now likely be without one of its young, rising players for the foreseeable future.

Griffin Conine, the son of Marlins great Jeff Conine, left the game in the sixth inning.

Trailing 9-1 with runners on first and third and one out, Conine came through, smoking an RBI double to right-center field, but immediately grabbed his left shoulder and was in severe pain after diving into second base.

Conine, along with the help of a Marlins trainer, left the field and there was immediate concern surrounding the dugout.

"It's unfortunate that that happened, because that's what this guy does - he only knows one way to play," manager Clayton McCullough said. "Unfortunate there he's going in for the hustle double, and he just kind of hit the ground a little awkwardly."
