In what was the finale of a brief two-game set against the Baltimore Orioles, as well as this five game homestead, the Marlins entered looking to snap a recent two game skid where the team’s adversity was pushed closer to their limits.
In Sunday’s loss to the Giants, center fielder Starling Marte suffered what later revealed to be a non-displaced fracture of his 12th rib, this according to GM Kim Ng. From the point of injury, Marte is set to be re-evaluated in 5-7 days, though the team would soon place him on the 10-day injured list.
