The Marlins are in wait-and-see mode after starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez was struck by a comebacker on his left shin Saturday against the Giants.
"I'm sure he's sore," manager Mike Redmond said, per MLB.com. "We'll know more in another day or so, when he throws his bullpen and plays catch."
X-rays came back negative and Alvarez is receiving treatment for the injury. The right-hander, however, said he expects to be ready for his next start Thursday against the Braves. However, Redmond said he could be pushed back.
"I'm anticipating him being able to make his start," Redmond said. "If it's sore, then we have the flexibility to push him back a day, to give him an extra day. Whatever he needs."
