Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez told The Miami Herald he should be able to make his next start, and his exit from last Sunday's outing was more of a precaution than anything.
"Everything was fine. I was good. The only thing is when I fell it looked ugly. But I could have kept pitching," Alvarez said. "I didn't have anything wrong with my body. I wanted to keep pitching."
Alvarez will throw his usual between-start bullpen session Wednesday or Thursday, and that is the lone hurdle he has to get through. Manager Mike Redmond seems confident that Alvarez will be able to make his next scheduled start, Sunday against the Pirates.
