Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton out 4-6 weeks with broken hand
— -- Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton will miss four to six weeks with a broken bone in his hand, ESPN's Tim Kurkjian reported.
Stanton broke the hamate bone in his left hand during the Marlins' 7-1 loss to the Dodgers on Friday night. He is expected to have surgery and be out at least a month.
Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal earlier reported the injury.
The 25-year-old outfielder initially hurt the hand on a swing and miss in the sixth inning of Friday night's game. Stanton's hand appeared swollen, and he said it hurt where he grips the bat. Stanton indicated the pain grew worse as the game progressed. He grimaced in pain with his final swing in the ninth inning and said that at-bat was "the icing on the cake."
Stanton, who finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the game, leads the major leagues with 27 home runs and 67 RBIs.
