MIAMI -- Alex Rodriguez may soon get a call soon from his hometown team.The Miami Marlins are in the market for a power hitter to replace injured slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who will likely miss the rest of the regular season. Theyre discussing whether to reach out to Rodriguez, president of baseball operations Michael Hill said Sunday.Stanton strained his groin Saturday and is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks. Rodriguez, who grew up in South Florida and still lives here, played his final game for the New York Yankees on Friday.Were going to look at everything, Hill said. There has been information out there about his situation. I have no idea what his interest level is to continue playing. He has something set up to move into the Yankees front office; I dont know where his head is on that.Stanton, this years Home Run Derby winner, leads the Marlins with 25 homers and 70 RBI while batting .244. Justin Bour, who has 15 home runs, is sidelined with an ankle injury, creating a void at first base that Rodriguez could help fill.The Marlins are contending for their first playoff berth since 2003. To overcome the loss of Stanton, Hill said, the front office will consider all options -- including Rodriguez.This team has played too well for too long, Hill said. Were right in the thick of this thing, and were going to do everything in our power to help in any way we can. If its him, if its someone else, were going to try to find a way to make it happen.Were putting together our list of options. Hes an available player, so hell be on that list, and well see where it goes.Rodriguez, 41, was unconditionally released Saturday by Yankees. He was batting .200 and said hes unsure whether hell play again.He needs only four homers to become the fourth player to hit 700, and the looming milestone might be a lure to continue his 22-year career. But he has played little in the field since 2013, complicating any role he might have with an NL team.Stanton and left-hander Adam Conley went on the disabled list Sunday, a double whammy for Miami.Stanton hurt his left groin trying to stretch a single into a double. He went down awkwardly and was tagged out at second base to end an 8-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox.He looked like he got shot, manager Don Mattingly said. You just see the leg give out. Obviously its not a very good sign when you see that. Hopefully hes out a couple of weeks, and we get back at it. If not, weve got to do what weve got to do.Conley gave up five runs in four innings and said he has been dealing with soreness in his pitching hand that has been getting worse. He hurt his hand banging it on the roof of the dugout at Wrigley Field celebrating a teammates home run on Aug. 3.The injury was diagnosed as tendinitis. Mattingly said it would likely force Conley to miss a turn, so the Marlins decided to put the youngster on the DL to give him a breather. Conley is 8-6 with a 3.84 ERA in 24 starts.Infielder Robert Andino and reliever Hunter Cervenka were called up from Triple-A New Orleans.Andrea Barzagli Jersey .

Thats part of it.Detroit wasted a chance to move closer to AL Central-leading Cleveland, which fell to Houston 4-3. The Tigers fell one game behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card after the Orioles beat Tampa Bay 11-2.Youve got to execute, man, center fielder Cameron Maybin said.The Tigers had numerous chances. They had two on and one out in the ninth. They left the bases loaded in the seventh. They left two on in the fourth and Maybin was doubled off first base on a fly ball to right with a runner already on second in the third.I was just a little over-aggressive, Maybin said. Its unfortunate, kind of ran us out of the inning.Abreu connected for a solo shot off Matt Boyd (5-3) in the second for his 23rd homer while reaching base safely for the 32nd time in 33 games amid a late-season surge.Gonzalez (3-6) struck out four in his first start since Aug. 11 following a groin injury to deliver Chicago its third win in nine games.Gonzo was great, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. I dont know if you could expect much more out of him, coming off the DL and against a lineup like this.Nate Jones retired four straight hitters before David Robertson struck out Upton while working around a hit and a walk in the ninth for his 34th save to complete the seven-hitter.Minor league call up Jason Coats doubled in the fifth and scored on Omar Narvaezs single as the White Sox improved to 6-12 against Detroit and just 14-32 against the AL Central since Mayy 23.ddddddddddddonzalez retired nine straight until allowing singles to J.D.

He has allowed three or fewer runs in his last 10 starts.Pitching was the story, really, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.
