Chen will not make his scheduled start Saturday against the Mets, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins did not provide a reason for Chen's scratch nor did they name a replacement for Saturday. However, manager Don Mattingly said Chen will likely take his next turn in the rotation, suggesting there is no injury in play. Odrisamer Despaigne, who is on the 40-man roster, is currently listed as the probable starter for Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday.
