    Marlins Bonifacio out 4-6 weeks

    The Marlins announced today that Emilio Bonifacio will miss 4-6 weeks due to left thumb surgery, and Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter) that the team is looking at "possible outside fits" to replace him. Bryan Petersen has been playing center field in the meantime.

    Bonifacio, 27, was hitting .268/.351/.315 in 170 plate appearances before getting hurt. He still leads the league with 20 steals (in 21 chances) despite not playing for nearly a week. As the Red Sox have shown during their rash of injuries, the market for outfield help isn't great the moment. Boston acquired Marlon Byrd and Scott Podsednik in separate trades in recent weeks to cover for injuries.
    To make matters worse, Kearns went down with a bad hammy. I think Reed Johnson would be a good fit for the Marlins. Cubs currently have the worst record in baseball and Johnson is a good, short term fix.

    I like your thinking. Please take Reed from us, Miami.

    You're not going to get anything for him.

    I just want his waste-of-space ass off the roster, and not batting 2nd ever again.

    Bonifacio was activated and could add a real spark to this offense. Marlins should be a team to watch in the second half
