The hand remains swollen and Hanley Ramirez remains out of the Marlins lineup as they open a 4-game series at Wrigley Field tonight against the Chicago Cubs. Ramirez said he would try to swing a bat today for the first time since Monday when he was struck by a John Maine pitch.
Marlins: 1. Emilio Bonifacio, 3b; 2. Cameron Maybin, cf; 3. Jeremy Hermida, lf; 4. Jorge Cantu, 1b; 5. Dan Uggla, 2b; 6. Ronny Paulino, c; 7. Cody Ross, rf; 8. Alfredo Amezaga, ss; 9. Chris Volstad, p.
Maybe we should keep Hanley out of the lineup a little longer. Nothing against Hanley. We love him here in South Florida. But the bottom line is that as long as the Fish keep winning without him, I say let him rest up a bit more. No need to rush him back so long as we're winning.
GO FISH!!!
