LEADING OFF

-

STORM PLAN: With Hurricane Irma bearing down on South Florida, the Miami Marlins are allowing families of players and staff to travel with the team on its upcoming road trip. After hosting Washington today, the Marlins leave on a seven-game swing to Atlanta and Philadelph­ia.

“If you had your kids here and you’re leaving on a trip, it’s not the best feeling to leave your family somewhere,” manager Don Mattingly said.

PENALTY PENDING? Major League Baseball is looking into allegation­s levied by the New York Yankees that Boston used a high-tech scheme to steal signs from their catchers. Commission­er Rob Manfred says he wants to get the matter resolved quickly. In the meantime, there’s sure to be plenty of debate over what the penalty should be if the first-place Red Sox are found guilty — a fine, a draft pick, forfeiture of wins?

YOU GUYS AGAIN: Cubs lefty Jose Quintana tries to beat Pittsburgh for the second time in a week when he starts at PNC Park. He pitched six innings last Wednesday as the NL Central leaders topped the Pirates at Wrigley Field. Quintana is 5-3 with a 4.50 ERA since being acquired from the White Sox.

BACK TO WORK: Mets right-hander Matt Harvey will be on short rest when he faces last-place Philadelph­ia, his second start since a long stint on the disabled list. The former ace was tagged for seven runs and eight hits in two innings Saturday at Houston during the first game of a doublehead­er that left New York with an opening in the rotation today.
