Garrett Cooper Stats

Miami Marlins' first baseman Garrett Cooper (elbow) will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a partial UCL tear in his left elbow. The 30-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list on July 19, and after further evaluation, needed surgery to correct the issue. Cooper finishes the 2021 campaign slashing .284/.380/.465 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored, and one stolen base across 250 plate appearances. The procedure takes around 3-to-4 months to recover from, and Cooper is expected to be ready by Spring Training of 2022.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (elbow) is being placed on the 10-day injured list. Cooper was forced to leave Sunday's game after a collision while on defense. Cooper reached for an errant throw and base runner Travis Jankowski ran into him on the base path. While the Marlins at first made it seem like there wasn't much concern, the tone changed on Monday as he was placed on the IL. Jesus Aguilar will take most of the starts at first base while Cooper is out. Cooper has been one of the best Marlins hitters this season, but it remains to be seen how much time he'll be forced to miss.
