The Miami Marlins have received some bad news regarding the health of one of their star players. Sam LaPorta, the team’s first-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, has been diagnosed with a knee injury that is not good news according to manager Dan Campbell.
LaPorta, who was selected with the 14th overall pick in the draft, had been expected to make an immediate impact for the Marlins in 2021. However, the team has now been dealt a major setback with the news of LaPorta’s injury.
Campbell spoke to reporters about the injury and said that LaPorta’s knee was “not good news.” He also said that the team would be taking a cautious approach with LaPorta’s recovery and that he would be out for an extended period of time.
The injury is a major blow to the Marlins, who had high hopes for LaPorta entering the 2021 season. He was expected to be a key contributor for the team and his absence will leave a big hole in the lineup.
The team is now faced with the task of finding a replacement for LaPorta while he recovers from his injury. It will be a difficult task, but one that the Marlins must take on if they want to remain competitive this season.
It is unfortunate news for both LaPorta and the Marlins, but they will have to find a way to move forward without him. Hopefully, LaPorta will be able to make a full recovery and return to the field soon.
