Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton finished for season

— -- The Miami Marlins?said Sunday that slugger Giancarlo Stanton is done for the season with a left groin injury, opening the door for Alex Rodriguez?to possibly help his hometown team make the playoffs.

President of baseball operations Michael Hill said the Marlins are discussing whether to reach out to Rodriguez, who was unconditionally released by the New York Yankees on Saturday.?

Hill said the Marlins will "look at everything" but don't know how eager Rodriguez might be to continue playing.

The 41-year-old was batting .200 this season, but he had 33 homers and 86 RBIs last season.

The Marlins put Stanton on the disabled list earlier Sunday, and manager Don Mattingly said after Miami's 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox that the MRI on Stanton was serious and he wouldn't play again this season. This is the third straight year in which Stanton's season has been cut short because of injuries.

The team also put left-hander Adam Conley on the DL with finger tendinitis on his pitching hand.

The Marlins were tied with the Cardinals for the second wild card going into St. Louis' game against the Chicago Cubs later Sunday.

Stanton was injured Saturday, when he made an awkward slide while trying to stretch a single into a double in the ninth inning against the White Sox. He was tagged for the final out of the game and was slow to rise. He finally limped off the field as the White Sox celebrated an 8-7 victory.

Stanton had a productive night for the Marlins, recording three hits (including his 25th home run of the season) and three RBIs.

Conley gave up five runs in four innings Saturday and said he has been pitching with increasing soreness in his pitching hand. He hurt his left ring finger after banging his hand on the roof of the Wrigley Field dugout while celebrating a teammate's home run on Aug. 3.

Conley is 8-6 with a 3.94 ERA in 24 starts this season.?

As part of the Stanton and Conley roster moves, the Marlins?called up infielder Robert Andino, recalled left-hander Hunter Cervenka and released Cody Hall.
