Marlins place Griffin Conine on IL after hamstring tear

Miami placed outfielder Griffin Conine on the 10-day injured list Friday after doctors confirmed a tear in his left hamstring. He left the Thursday night 8-1 win over Cincinnati in the sixth inning, clutching his left knee after a diving attempt on Spencer Steer’s sinking fly. The 28‑year‑old has been a steady .273 hitter with two homers and four RBIs in 11 games.

Conine’s injury follows a season‑ending shoulder surgery he underwent last April, raising concerns about his durability early in his rookie campaign. To fill the roster spot, Miami recalled infielder Deyvison De Los Santos from Triple‑A Jacksonville on Friday. The 23‑year‑old is making his second big‑league stint this year, having debuted on March 29 and logged a double in two at‑bats.

The Marlins’ left‑field depth now hinges on veteran backups as they chase a mid‑season push. Losing Conine’s .273 production trims the lineup’s speed and left‑handed power, while De Los Santos brings three minor league homers and eight RBIs as a potential spark plug. Miami’s next series in Detroit will test whether the club can sustain momentum without Conine.
