| Player Notes |
| August 9, 2007 Mike Jacobs put his name in the Marlins record books on Wednesday. He extended his hitless streak to 31 at-bats, which is a new franchise record, the Miami Herald reports. Pitcher Brad Penny held the previous mark of 30. |
| June 22, 2007 The Marlins activated Mike Jacobs off the disabled list after Fridays game. Outfielder Reggie Abercrombie was sent to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move. Jacobs is expected to return to the lineup immediately. |
| June 19, 2007 Mike Jacobs went 1-for-4 with an RBI while playing for Single-A Jupiter on Monday. It was his first rehab outing, and he could rejoin the Marlins as soon as Friday, according to the Miami Herald. Jacobs hasn't played since May 13 due to a fractured right thumb. |
| June 16, 2007 Mike Jacobs tested his fractured thumb by taking live batting practice on Friday. He said he's about a week to 10 days from returning to action, according to the Sun-Sentinel. His recovery has taken longer than had been hoped for, so we'll have to wait and see how the digit responds to a rehab assignment before a specific date for his return is set. |
| June 9, 2007 Mike Jacobs just can't seem to get over his thumb injury. He's expected to require another 7-10 days on the disabled list before returning to action, according to the Sun-Sentinel. "My goal this year was to get 550 at-bats and see what I could do with a full season. Obviously, I've already missed 20 or 30 games. That's 100 at-bats right there I've lost out on." 27 games, to be precise. If the results of X-rays taken Friday show his fractured thumb has healed enough, he could be cleared to hit off a tee. Keep him out of your lineups next week and hope for the best. |
| May 26, 2007 Mike Jacobs (thumb) will be out another seven to 10 days, according to the AP. |
| May 23, 2007 Mike Jacobs, on the DL with a fractured bone in his right thumb, took groundballs on Tuesday and underwent another X-Ray, according to the Miami Herald. The test results weren't immediately known, so it's difficult to know when Jacobs will be ready to return to action. |
| May 17, 2007 The Marlins placed Mike Jacobs on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday due to a fractured bone in his right thumb. The move is retroactive to May 14, MLB.com reports. He initially suffered the injury on April 20. |
| May 16, 2007 Mike Jacobs is expected to go on the disabled list Friday when Byung-Hyun Kim is activated, the AP reports. Jacobs has a fractured thumb. |
| May 15, 2007 Mike Jacobs revealed on Monday that his sore left thumb is actually fractured. Jacobs broke a bone in the digit on April 20, and he has been playing on and off since that time. He will likely go on the disabled list on Tuesday. "I think I'm just going to try to chill out and get it healthy, and hope the 15 days will do that for me," Jacobs told MLB.com. Recent X-rays showed that the break has been healing. |
| May 14, 2007 It's possible that Mike Jacobs will require a trip to the disabled list, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He returned to action yesterday after a six-game absence due to a sore right thumb but was forced to exit when his bat flew out of his hand in the fourth inning. "I didn't want to go on the disabled list, but I might have to do it," Jacobs said. "I don't have enough strength in my lower hand with the protective shield that I'm using to hold the bat without pain. I just can't grip it firmly." More should be known about his status after he's examined further today, but he's not safe to put in weekly lineups. |
| May 13, 2007 Mike Jacobs, who's been dealing with a sore right thumb, returned to the starting lineup on Sunday, but he left the game in the fourth inning after he lost his grip on the bat after striking out in the fourth inning, according to the AP. At this point, Jacobs' status is unknown, but it appears as though his thumb is still bothering him somewhat. |
| May 13, 2007 Mike Jacobs, who's been out of the starting lineup with a sore right thumb, could be back Sunday, the AP reports. "We'll see how he feels," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "No pun intended: I hope he gives me a thumbs up." |
| May 10, 2007 Mike Jacobs continues to have problems with his sore right thumb. He is trying to limit the wear and tear on the thumb and did not take batting practice on Wednesday. "Obviously, I don't think I can do that every single day," Jacobs told MLB.com. "But this is still new to me. I'll have to see what works best." He originally suffered the injury on April 20. Jacobs did not start on Thursday and hasn't started since Monday. |
| May 9, 2007 Mike Jacobs was held out of the starting lineup Tuesday with a sore right thumb, and he said he may miss Wednesday's game, too, the AP reports. He hurt his thumb April 20 and said he may be nursing the injury all season. "I'm going to have to keep an eye on it, and when it starts getting sore maybe take a day off," Jacobs said. |
| April 30, 2007 Mike Jacobs entered Monday batting .385 (5-for-13) against left-handers, and the Marlins have made a commitment to keep him in the lineup against southpaws, according to the AP. "The organization and I feel like he's going to be our guy," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Why not give him an opportunity to play every day? He's done a good job." Jacobs is hitting .310 on the year with three home runs and 10 RBI. |
| April 29, 2007 Mike Jacobs returned from his thumb injury Friday evening and was 4-for-4 at the plate. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said he's confident that Jacobs can handle both right- and left-handed pitchers at this stage of his career. "I never once made out a lineup during spring training thinking lefty-righty when it came to Jacobs," Gonzalez said. "He has shown he's been able to hit them. I think sometimes we make a big deal about the lefty-righty thing." |
| April 25, 2007 Mike Jacobs is still dealing with a sore thumb even as the flexibility has improved, the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reports. Jacobs doesn't expect to play again until Friday at the earliest. When he returns, he'll have a protective covering on the thumb. |
| April 23, 2007 Mike Jacobs still hasn't seen much improvement in the condition of his swollen thumb, so he likely will miss a few more games, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He sustained the injury when he was hit by a grounder on Friday. |
| April 22, 2007 As expected, Mike Jacobs was not in the lineup for a second straight game Sunday, according to the AP. "There's still some swelling there," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He'll take the day off and then we'll see how it progresses." Jacobs hopes to return on Monday. |
| April 21, 2007 Mike Jacobs did not start Saturday's game because of a sore right thumb, according to the AP. He suffered the injury in the 14th inning of Friday's game when he was struck with a groundball. X-rays were negative and Jacobs indicated he might return Monday against the Braves |
