Community Picks: Miami Marlins 0% vs Minnesota Twins 0%

Good news is hard to come by for the Minnesota Twins these days, with the team off to a historically bad start (16-40) and on pace for more than 100 losses. Coming off a 1-0 home win over the New York Mets on Sunday in which he struck out a career-high 14 batters, Fernandez will give way to left-hander Adam Conley (3-3, 3.72 ERA), left-hander Wei-Yin Chen (3-2, 4.25 ERA) and right-hander Tom Koehler (3-6, 4.50 ERA) to face Minnesota in a three-game series which starts on Tuesday evening. It's the beginning of a nine-game road swing for the Marlins, who will also visit Arizona and San Diego for three games in each place before their next home game. Continue to Article

The best teammate pranks should be groan-inducingly awesome. It should be something everyone thinks is funny, but has that little edge of pain for the person being pranked. Like driving his car into center field for batting practice, or convincing him that he's been traded to Japan. But a prank shouldn't actually be physically painful. The Miami Marlins' No. 2 prospect, first baseman Josh Naylor, seems to have missed that memo. The president of baseball operations for the Marlins, Michael Hill, told the Sun Sentinel that Naylor recently injured roommate and Greensboro Grasshoppers teammate Stone Garrett with a knife in a prank that  somehow  went wrong.   [ Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now ] Garrett, an outfielder, was cut on his right thumb and required three stitches. The Marlins are flying him to Miami to have his hand looked at by a specialist. They obviously want to make extra sure he's going to be okay, given that he's the team's No. 4 prospect, their first pick in the 2015 draft, and the Marlins' 2015 Minor League Player of the Year.  Hill didn't elaborate on the details of the prank, so we can only imagine what it entailed, but he did give Craig Davis of the Sun Sentinel a little background. "Naylor has a reputation of being a bit of a prankster, but this one obviously went a little too far," Hill said. "Obviously, he's torn up about it. This is a good friend, his roommate. They came into pro ball together, so they're good friends." It shouldn't need to be said, but maybe it does: pranks can be awesome, but pranks with knives are never, ever, ever a good idea.  More MLB coverage from Yahoo Sports:   The StewPod: A baseball podcast by Yahoo Sports Subscribe via iTunes or via RSS feed - - - - - - Liz Roscher is a writer for Big League Stew on Yahoo Sports.
