Marlins’ Starling Marte out with fractured rib
Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte will miss at least one week after being diagnosed with a fractured left rib.
The Marlins said Monday that an MRI exam detected a non-displaced fracture in Marte’s 12th rib.
He will be re-evaluated in five to seven days.
Marte suffered the injury while batting in the ninth inning of Sunday’s 1-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants. He tried to persuade manager Don Mattingly to let him continue the at-bat but was declined.
