One of the more encouraging developments for the Miami Marlins this season was the emergence of Miguel Rojas at shortstop. While Rojas was capable of playing every position adequately, lingering frustrations with Adeiny Hechavarria led many to wonder if he would eventually replace the slick-fielding Cuban on the field. It was one of the rare instances where the Marlins had too much depth.
Then, on May 8th, the Miami Marlins put Martin Prado on the disabled list. He was followed by Miguel Rojas, whose thumb injury is much worse than initially believed.
