Garrett Cooper Not Starting Wednesday
2 years agoMiami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper is out of Wednesday's starting lineup after leaving Tuesday's contest with a leg injury. While the issue doesn't appear serious, the Marlins will give Cooper the day off against a tough right-hander in the Phillies' Zack Wheeler. A late bloomer, Cooper's bat has been above average in his career but he's largely lacked power. That certainly hasn't been the case this season, however, as Cooper has three home runs, a double, a triple, and a .997 OPS to his credit across 45 trips to the plate. Yuli Gurriel will man first base with Jorge Soler as the designated hitter Wednesday afternoon.
