Prado also played seven innings at third base. He should soon advance to Double-A Jacksonville or Triple-A New Orleans and could join the Marlins' active roster sometime in early May. The veteran third baseman underwent major surgery on his right knee last July and then suffered a setback at spring training, but he's had a couple positive weeks in a row. Apr 24 - 8:28 PM

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

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

Pardo underwent season-ending surgery on his right knee last July and suffered a setback two weeks ago in camp. Brian Anderson is expected to serve as the Marlins' primary third baseman until Prado is ready. No new timetable has been announced.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Martin Prado (knee) had a setback while running and will not be ready for the start of the 2018 regular season.

Prado needed season-ending surgery on his right knee last July, after batting just .250/.279/.357 through 147 plate appearances, but the veteran third baseman was expected to be an everyday player for the Marlins entering the 2018 campaign. It's unclear when he might be ready. Brian Anderson will fill in at the hot corner in the early going, per Marlins manager Don Mattingly.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

The Marlins aren't counting on Martin Prado (knee) to return before the end of the season.

Prado hasn't been officially ruled out, but his rehab from knee surgery was slowed due to Hurricane Irma and he doesn't want to rush things just for a brief appearance in the final two weeks. "I don’t think it’s professional to put myself out there and not perform the way I should be performing," said Prado. The 33-year-old has also missed time with hamstring issues this year, so he's been limited to just 37 games while batting .250/.279/.357 with two homers and 12 RBI. He's still under contract for $28.5 million over the next two seasons.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Martin Prado (knee) has begun baseball activities, including swings off a tee.

Prado needed surgery on his right knee in late July and it was thought to be a season-ending procedure, but the veteran third baseman is apparently now aiming to rejoin the Marlins at some point in late September.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

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.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

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.

Martin Prado - 3B - Marlins

Martin Prado plated two of the Marlins’ four runs Sunday in a win over the Cubs.

Prado put Miami ahead 3-0 in the first inning by swatting a two-run double off Cubs lefty Mike Montgomery. The double was only Prado’s second of the year. He’s gone 2-for-10 at the plate since coming back from a six-week hamstring injury.
