Garrett Cooper Stats

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.

Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Garrett Cooper stayed hot on Sunday, reaching base three times. He went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, two runs scored, and an RBI. Cooper has been the best hitter in baseball since coming off the injured list and was even on a hot streak before that. Despite a very slow start to the season, Cooper is now up to a .291 batting average and an .867 OPS. His health and his defense will always be concerns, but as long as Cooper is in the batter's box, he's capable of doing significant damage. A trade to an American League team where he'll be able to spend some time in the DH spot seems to make too much sense.
