Lagares (thumb) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Lagares did get a start against a right-hander this week, but will sit Sunday afternoon with tough righty Jose Fernandez on the hill for the Marlins. The absence of Lagares also may be related to the fact he sustained a bruised left thumb while making a diving catch in Saturday's matchup. Regardless of the exact reasoning, consider the speedy center fielder day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener with Pittsburgh. In the meantime, Alejandro De Aza will get the start in center with Yoenis Cespedes (hip) also getting the day off.
