3 years agoMiami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener with the Nationals. It's possible that this is simply a day off for Marte, who has started 24 of the team's last 25 games, but there's also plenty of speculation currently that Marte could be traded soon, so obviously his absence will add fuel to the trade rumor fire. For now there's no word yet of any deal, so we'll assume this is just a day off. Monte Harrison will make the start in center field tonight and is batting eighth against Washington.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
