Marlins' Griffin Conine: Clubs big homer off bench
Rotowire
Conine went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk in Monday's 10-7 victory versus Colorado.
Conine began the game on the bench against lefty starter Sean Sullivan, but he entered to pinch hit for Leo Jimenez versus righty reliever Victor Vodnik in the fifth inning. That turned out to be a fruitful substitution by Miami, as Conine clubbed a three-run homer to right field to turn a two-run deficit into a one-run lead. Conine came into Monday in a 3-for-22 slump, so he'll look to use Monday's big blast as the catalyst to a turnaround at the plate.

Marlins' Griffin Conine: Could return for final week
Rotowire
Manager Clayton McCullough said that the Marlins were set to decide Sunday whether Conine (shoulder) would be activated from the 60-day injured list for the final week of the regular season, MLB.com reports.
McCullough didn't tip his hand regarding the Marlins' plans for Conine, but the 28-year-old did his best during his recent minor-league rehab assignment to demonstrate that he had made a full recovery from the surgery he required in late April to address a dislocated left shoulder. Over nine games at Triple-A Jacksonville, Conine slashed .292/.514/.583 with two home runs and an 11:9 BB:K. He saw three starts in left field, three in right field and three as a designated hitter during his rehab assignment.

Marlins' Griffin Conine: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Conine (shoulder) is expected to join one of the Marlins' affiliates later this week to begin a rehab assignment, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
After undergoing surgery April 29 to address a dislocated left shoulder, Conine was presumed to be shut down for the season, but he's apparently progressed more rapidly than expected and is on the cusp of being cleared for game action. Given how much time he's missed, Conine is expected to need at least a week's worth of at-bats in the minors to find his swing and get comfortable playing the outfield again before the Marlins bring him back from the injured list. Before getting shut down with the shoulder injury, Conine had gotten off to a solid start to the season for Miami, slashing .281/.352/.438 with one home run and seven RBI over 20 games.
