AROUND THE HORN

■ Marlins: For the second year in a row, Giancarlo Stanton’s chances of winning the majorleague home run title have been hurt by an injury. Stanton has a broken left hand, which is expected to sideline him four to six weeks. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list and will meet with a hand specialist. Stanton, who grimaced as he swung and missed for strike three Friday night in the ninth inning of the Marlins’ 7-1 loss to the Dodgers, said the injury became worse as the game progressed. He was leading the majors with 27 homers and 67 RBIs.

■ Blue Jays: Two-time Cy Young winner Johan Santana has abandoned his comeback bid. GM Alex Anthopoulos said a toe infection was the primary factor for Santana, who plans on pitching winter ball. Santana, 36, hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2012 with the Mets. He missed all of 2011 and 2013 following shoulder surgeries. Santana is 139-78 with a 3.20 ERA in 12 seasons.

■ Braves: Rookie Williams Perez was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a bone bruise in his left foot. Perez, unbeaten in eight starts, left Friday night’s loss to the Pirates in the fifth inning after getting hit in the foot with a line drive off the bat of Josh Harrison. Perez attempted to stay in the game but exited two batters later. X-rays were negative, but Perez said the foot felt worse Saturday morning and it was unlikely he would have been able to make his next start.
