With Opening Day fast approaching, time is running out for Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro to get game ready as he recovers from right knee inflammation.
There is good news: Alfaro was cleared by the team’s medical staff to resume baseball activities, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Thursday.
With the Marlins finishing up spring training on March 24 and the season opener against the Colorado Rockies on March 28, Mattingly isn’t ruling out Alfaro being ready for the start of the season if everything works out.
“I think it’s realistic the way we’re looking at it,” Mattingly said.
