Rain Delay Reading: Skip’s pregame presser and more

CLEVELAND, Ohio—The rain is falling down in Cleveland, as Game 1 of a standard doubleheader has been delayed. See what Skip Schumaker had to say ahead of today’s doubleheader, along with other updates from the team.

Sandy Alcantara’s start for today was scratched due to biceps tendinitis. “It didn’t feel right to start him in a cold-weather environment,” Schumaker said.

This is now the third Marlins pitcher to have biceps issues through the first month of the season, with both Johnny Cueto and Trevor Rogers landing on the 15-day IL.

“They’ve (Cueto, Rogers, and Alcantara) all been isolated,” Schumaker said.
