Garrett Cooper Scratched With Illness
1 year agoMiami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (illness) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Boston Red Sox with an illness. Yuli Gurriel is starting at first base and will hit fifth, while Jesus Sanchez starts in right field and bats eighth in the lineup against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Consider Cooper day-to-day for now, and hopefully the 32-year-old can return on Friday for the start of a series against the division-rival Atlanta Braves. It's a bad time for him to be under the weather, as Cooper is in the midst of a modest seven-game hitting streak in which he has gone 12-for-27 (.444) with two home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and four runs scored in 30 plate appearances for the Fish.
