ESPN just said 15 day DL.

That was reported originally. That's usual protocol.

The shelling at the hands of the Padres makes a lot more sense now.

Welp.

Should we implement the season long game thread now?

@Ken_Rosenthal: As @injuryexpert said, sprain in Fernandez's elbow means ligament is involved. A strain generally refers to a muscle.

May as well let him have the surgery tomorrow.

This was not something I could deal with in isolation.

Awful.

And this and next year count to his arbitration clock, so basically he might make a half season of starts before his arb hearing.

This has got to be the end of Stanton and Cishek too right?

Contending is over even if he is out a few months. Clear it out, 2016 new target date?

We should probably wait till after the MRI, though.

[MiamiHomer]

At what point does the MLB start to make a concerted effort to research this epidemic. I mean, I'm not sure if anything can actually be done about it but I got to think the MLB has to start looking into it.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal
Source says that #Marlins' Fernandez just had second MRI and adds, "This isn't promising."
