Marlins activate Griffin Conine from IL, designate Christopher Morel for assignment

The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Griffin Conine from the 60-day injured list ahead of their 2-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on June 21. Conine, who had been recovering from a hamstring injury sustained on April 9, replaces infielder Christopher Morel, who struggled with a.162 batting average and was designated for assignment. Morel had not recorded a hit since June 10 and opened the season on the IL due to an oblique injury. The Marlins also placed slugger Liam Hicks on the injured list due to a back issue. This shift in the roster comes as the team seeks to improve its offensive production.
