Marlins Minor Leaguer Josh Naylor Injured Teammate Stone Garrett with Knife

Joseph ZuckerJun 5, 2016

Miami Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill announced Sunday that 2015 first-round draft pick Josh Naylor injured minor league teammate Stone Garrett with a knife during an incident at their apartment, per Craig Davis of the Sun Sentinel.

According to Davis, Garrett needed three stitches to close a cut on his right hand.

Hill didn't go into specifics about what happened but described the situation as a prank that took a turn for the worse, per Davis:

Naylor has a reputation of being a bit of a prankster, but this one obviously went a little too far. 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. Hopefully it'll just be a short term and [Garrett] can get back healthy and return to form and continue on his career.

"

Baseball America listed Naylor as the second-best prospect and Garrett as the fourth-best prospect in the Marlins organization heading into the 2016 season. Baseball Prospectus ranked Naylor and Garrett second and eighth, respectively.

Both players have spent the year with Miami's Single-A affiliate, the Greensboro Grasshoppers. Naylor is batting .262 with seven home runs, 36 RBI and a .451 slugging percentage. Garrett has five homers, 15 RBI and a .244 average.

Davis noted the team placed Garrett on the disabled list Saturday and has not disclosed a timetable for his return to the field.
