The Miami Marlins?said Sunday that slugger Giancarlo Stanton is likely done for the season with a left groin injury, opening the door for Alex Rodriguez?to possibly help his hometown team make the playoffs.President of baseball operations Michael Hill said the Marlins are discussing whether to reach out to Rodriguez, who was unconditionally released by the New York Yankees on Saturday.?Were going to look at everything, Hill said. There has been information out there about his situation. I have no idea what his interest level is to continue playing. He has something set up to move into the Yankees front office; I dont know where his head is on that.The 41-year-old Rodriguez, who grew up in South Florida and still lives there, was batting .200 this season, but he had 33 homers and 86 RBIs last season.The Marlins put Stanton on the disabled list earlier Sunday, and manager Don Mattingly said after Miamis 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox that the MRI on Stanton revealed something serious and that he wouldnt play again this season. This would be the third straight year in which Stantons season has been cut short because of injuries.Hill said Stanton is out at least six weeks, so there is a remote chance he could return.The team also put left-hander Adam Conley on the DL with finger tendinitis in his pitching hand.The Marlins are a half-game behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card as of Sunday night.Stanton was injured Saturday, when he made an awkward slide while trying to stretch a single into a double in the ninth inning against the White Sox. He was tagged for the final out of the game and was slow to rise. He finally limped off the field as the White Sox celebrated an 8-7 victory.He looked like he got shot, Mattingly said. You just see the leg give out. Obviously its not a very good sign when you see that. Hopefully hes out a couple of weeks and we get back at it. If not, weve got to do what weve got to do.Stanton, this years Home Run Derby winner, leads the Marlins with 25 homers and 70 RBIs while batting .244. Justin Bour, who has 15 home runs, is sidelined with an ankle injury, creating a void at first base that Rodriguez could help fill.The Marlins are contending for their first playoff berth since 2003. To overcome the loss of Stanton, Hill said, the front office will consider all options -- including Rodriguez.This team has played too well for too long, Hill said. Were right in the thick of this thing, and were going to do everything in our power to help in any way we can. If its him, if its someone else, were going to try to find a way to make it happen.Were putting together our list of options. Hes an available player, so hell be on that list, and well see where it goes.Rodriguez needs only four homers to become the fourth player to hit 700, and the looming milestone might lure him into continuing his 22-year career. But he hasnt played much in the field since 2013, complicating any role he might have with a National League team.Conley gave up five runs in four innings Saturday and said he has been dealing with soreness in his pitching hand that has been getting worse. He hurt his hand banging it on the roof of the dugout at Wrigley Field celebrating a teammates home run on Aug. 3.The injury was diagnosed as tendinitis. Mattingly said it would likely force Conley to miss a turn, so the Marlins decided to put the youngster on the DL to give him a breather. Conley is 8-6 with a 3.94 ERA in 24 starts.Infielder Robert Andino and reliever Hunter Cervenka were called up from Triple-A New Orleans.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

NEW ORLEANS -- Tevin Coleman rushed for three touchdowns, Matt Ryan passed for two TDs, and Deion Jones returned an interception 90 yards for a score to help the Atlanta Falcons beat the winless New Orleans Saints 45-32 on Monday night.The game was played nearly 10 years to the day after the Saints memorable return to the Superdome on Sept. 25, 2006, 13 months after Hurricane Katrina. But there would be no reprise of New Orleans dominant and emotional 23-3 triumph a decade ago.The Saints depleted defense struggled to slow down Devonta Freeman, who rushed for 152 yards and caught five passes for 55 yards. Coleman also was effective in the passing game out of the backfield, with three receptions for 47 yards to go with his 42 yards rushing.Ryan finished with 240 yards passing for Atlanta (2-1) which did not turn the ball over and moved into sole possession of first place in the NFC South.Drew Brees put up his usual big numbers -- 376 yards and three TDs passing -- but his interception for a touchdown on a tipped pass early in the fourth quarter gave the Falcons a 45-25 lead that proved too much for New Orleans to overcome.The loss dropped the Saints (0-3) in last place -- a far cry from their 3-0 start in 2006.SPECIAL TEAMS BLUNDERA cruel irony for the Saintss was the way they lost the early momentum on -- of all plays -- a Falcons punt.dddddddddddd A decade earlier, the Saints seized the early momentum on Steve Gleasons block of a Falcons punt that was recovered for a touchdown.On Monday night, New Orleans had raced to a 7-0 lead and forced a Falcons punt on a sack, only to turn the ball over when punt returner Tommylee Lewis was run into by teammate DeVante Harris. After the collision knocked Lewis to the ground, the ball came down right on him, bounced away and was recovered by Atlanta on the 11, setting up Colemans first TD.HAMPERED JULIOAtlanta star Julio Jones played despite missing a couple practices during the week because of a sore calf. He did not make his first catch until the second half, on the sixth pass of the game intended for him. That play went for 16 yards. That was his only catch.GETTING GOUGEDThe Falcons rushed for 217 yards against New Orleans porous defense, highlighted by runs of 48, 36, and 26 yards by Freeman.INJURY REPORTFalcons: Receiver Mohammed Sanu left with a shoulder injury and did not return.Saints: Guard Senio Kelemete left with a right leg injury.
