Jordany Valdespin gets start for Marlins
Marlins utilityman Jordany Valdespin is getting his first start of the season Friday night, batting eighth and playing right field.
What It Means:
Valdespin was called up following the demotion of Marcell Ozuna, and has been a mediocre hitter in his few stints in the big leagues. Last season, Valdespin hit for a .214/.280/.347 slash line. He's shown some power in his career, but is a reach batting eighth against Mike Leake.
