Is there any player in Major League Baseball with worse luck than Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper. After spending time on the IL with a calf injury he suffered in the second game of the season, you guessed it, the 28-year-old was plunked on the hand by a pitch on Tuesday night in his return to the lineup.
Tests were negative and nothing is broken, but another extended period out of the lineup does nothing to help Cooper or the team try and right the ship of an 8-21 record. As Joe Frisaro of MLB.
