Griffin Conine (dislocated left shoulder) placed on 60-day injured list

One of the bright spots on a youthful Marlins team, the rookie outfielder will be sidelined until midseason, if not longer.

It looked bad in the moment and that turned out to be the case. The Miami Marlins have placed Griffin Conine on the 60-day injured list after he dislocated his left shoulder sliding into second base during Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ronny Simon had his contract selected from Triple-A Jacksonville and will replace Conine on the 26-man roster.

"I'm doing as well as I could be given the circumstances," Conine told the media on Sunday morning. "I've already heard from tons of people, just reaching out to support. That obviously feels good and it helps."

He is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury.

Conine made his MLB debut on August 26, 2024 and showed enough in a 30-game sample to stick on the Marlins 40-man roster throughout the offseason. He entered spring training competing for a spot in Miami's outfield, which he earned after continuing to contribute both offensively and defensively. He was the starting right fielder on Opening Day against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Through 20 games in 2025, Conine is slashing .281/.352/.438/.790 with one home run, seven RBI and a 120 wRC+. After striking out over 30% of the time in the minor leagues, he's now striking out at a career-low 26.8% rate. He also made one of the season's most memorable defensive plays by robbing Jack Suwinski of a go-ahead home run on March 29. Even when veteran outfielder Jesús Sánchez returned from injury recently, Conine still forced his way into the lineup on a daily basis.

Conine will not be eligible for reinstatement until June 19.

Earlier in the week, the Marlins also lost Derek Hill to a left wrist sprain. The combination of these injuries allows Kyle Stowers to continue playing every day while leading to more opportunities for Dane Myers and Javier Sanoja.

Ronny Simon was off to a phenomenal start at AAA. He is slashing .354/.441/.521/.962 with one home run, nine RBI and a 165 wRC+. Similar to Sanoja, Simon can provide versatility having played second base, third base and shortstop as well as the corner outfield spots.

On the topic of roster moves, the Marlins designated Patrick Monteverde for assignment and selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Cade Gibson, who like Simon, would be making his Major League debut.

The Marlins look to snap a five-game losing skid on Easter Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies, who will send Jesús Luzardo to face his former team. First pitch is at 1:35 pm.
