Marlins' Morel a Scratch for Game 2 vs. Rockies

The Marlins made a late change to tonight’s lineup, scratching Christopher Morel with a left oblique strain. In his place, Connor Norby will slide over to first base while Owen Cassie steps into the lineup as the designated hitter.

It is a notable shuffle for Miami, especially with Morel expected to be part of the club’s offensive mix, and now the focus turns to how serious the oblique issue might be moving forward.

For tonight, the Marlins will have to adjust on the fly and hope the new look still gives them enough punch.
