Ex-Pirate Marte suffers broken rib
MIAMI — Miami Marlins center fielder Starling Marte will be sidelined for at least a few games with a broken left rib.
An MRI on Monday revealed a non-displaced fracture, meaning the rib maintained its proper alignment, the Marlins said..
Marte grimaced while batting with two outs in the ninth inning of Sunday’s loss to San Francisco and left the game. He’s batting .316 with an OPS of .912, three stolen bases and two home runs.
