Martin Prado will be sidelined for 3-5 weeks after having arthroscopic right knee surgery Friday.
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reported earlier Friday that the surgery would end Prado's season, and while it very well might, it looks like there's a chance he makes it back. Obviously, fantasy owners have no reason to wait around for him. Jul 28 - 1:09 PM

Martin Prado will have season-ending surgery on his right knee.

The operation will be performed by Dr. David Altchek. It's essentially been a lost season for Prado, who has made multiple trips to the disabled list due to hamstring issues and more recently the knee problem. The Marlins no doubt would love to trade him over the winter, but with two years and $28.5 million remaining on his contract after this year interest could be minimal.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Martin Prado is weighing season-ending knee surgery.

Manager Don Mattingly said the decision will likely come on Friday. It's been one injury after another for Prado this year, who was placed on the DL for the third time about a week ago. Obviously he's dealing with a fairly significant knee sprain and at this point, it might be best to shut Prado down for the year and come back healthy in 2018. The 34-year-old has struggled to a .250 average over 140 at-bats this season.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Marlins placed 3B Martin Prado on the 10-day disabled list with a right knee sprain.

Prado suffered the injury in Monday's win over the Phillies. It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, but obviously he's not going to be dealt before the trade deadline now. Prado could potentially be traded in August, as he would surely clear waivers. Derek Dietrich should get most of the playing time at third base while Prado is out, although Miguel Rojas is back from the DL and could also see some starts.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Red Sox are interested in a package deal from the Marlins including Martin Prado and David Phelps.

The Red Sox are in the market for a third baseman due to the injury to Pablo Sandoval and the underwhelming performance from Deven Marrero. Prado would provide a veteran upgrade at the position who also has the versatility to move around the diamond in a utility role once Sandoval returns.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

According to Peter Gammons, the Red Sox called the Marlins about a possible Martin Prado trade.

This backs up a recent report from Bob Nightengale of USA Today. It's no surprise given Boston's issues at third base. While Deven Marrero has picked things up recently, the club ranks last in the majors at the position with a .598 OPS. Gammons indicates that there haven't been any in-depth discussions, but that could obviously change as July moves along.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Yankees and Red Sox have reached out to the Marlins about a potential Martin Prado trade.

Chase Headley and Pablo Sandoval have both struggled at the hot corner for the Yanks and Sox, respectively. Prado has played in just 21 games this season due to a hamstring injury which cost him about six weeks of action. He is hitting .277/.299/.398 with two homers and nine RBI in 83 at-bats this season.

Marlins placed INF Martin Prado on the 10-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain.

Prado, who began the year on the DL with a hamstring strain, aggravated the injury during Sunday's shutout victory over the Mets. The Marlins have called up J.T. Riddle to take his place on the active roster, though Miguel Rojas (if healthy) and Derek Dietrich figure to split time at third base.
