Heart-warming news for the Fernandez family and Marlins fans crossed the world. Jose Fernandez will a huge figure in the Miami area and baseball world itself, and deserves to be recognized like this. More information will come from Jeffrey Loria regarding Fernandez's memorial.

Unbelievable. Fernandez was shaping up to be one of the best players in all of baseball as he was second in the league in strikeouts. This is an incredibly sad story that is still developing and we wish his family, friends, and teammates the best as they go through this terrible ordeal. Fernandez was just 24 years old.

The Marlins have said from the beginning that they're going to monitor their star pitchers innings. Fernandez next start will be skipped but according to the pitcher himself, it'll be the last time this occurs. The Marlins are in the thick of things in the National League playoff picture and they need Fernandez to take the ball every fifth day. That said, they'd rather lose their spot and keep him healthy than make the playoffs and play another season without him heading their staff.
