  • Getting Saturday off
    Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will sit down for the second game in a row Saturday despite the Marlins being matched up against right-hander Aaron Nola. Bryan De La Cruz will start in right field as a result, moving Josh Bell into the DH spot with Jake Burger at first base and Vidal Brujan at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 10:07 am

  • No structural damage in knee
    Winker said after Friday's game versus Tampa Bay that imaging had revealed no structural damage in his right knee, and he's hoping he'll be able to play Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Winker tweaked his knee after his foot got caught in the outfield turf while running down a flyball during the first inning Friday. He had to come out of the game early and was noticeably limping as he walked to the dugout, though it appears he managed to avoid a significant injury. Winker's defensive duties could be limited the rest of the season, as top prospect James Wood is expected to join the big-league roster Monday and take over in left field.
