Hanley Ramirez, shortstop of the Florida Marlins, may possibly be ending the season early due to an elbow injury that occurred recently. Ramirez is receiving treatment for a sore left elbow, and has not been doing well the past couple of days. Manager Edwin Rodriguez is keeping a close eye on Ramirez to assure that he has a successful recovery, and relatively quickly as well.
Ramirez told his manager that he felt worse after playing on Tuesday night following a four-game absence. Rodriguez says that isn't a good sign for the 26-year-old star to return with 11 games left in the season.
The Marlins would rather have Ramirez sit the bench, or maybe even pinch run, but they collectively would not want to worsen his injury by any means. Hopefully, Hanley Ramirez will recover from this elbow injury and be able to join the team next season. Click here for a link that displays plenty of information about Ramirez and his stats.

I agree that Hanley should ride the pine for the last 11 games. The marlins can't make the playoffs and the lineup and pitching rotation is already struck with injuries. Josh Johnson is hurt, LOMO is still recovering from his bruised face, and Donnie Murphy is still injured. theres no reason to risk an injury to out franchise player. I say that we bench Mike Stanton. He is too valuable to lose as well.
