The Marlins, the Pirates’ opening day opponent, will be without Jesus Sanchez to begin the season, manager Clayton McCullough told reporters, due to a left oblique strain.
In his five years in Major League Baseball, Sanchez is a .240/.308/.428 hitter with a .736 OPS. He's hit 59 home runs and 190 RBIs and is coming off a season in which he set career highs in both with 18 home runs and 64 RBIs.
On another Miami note, Sandy Alcantara will start the opener.
