According to Bill Ladson of MLB.com, Chris Marrero will not be ready for the start of spring training due to a torn left hamstring.
Marrero, 23, batted .248/.274/.294 with five doubles, 10 RBI and a .567 OPS over 117 plate appearances with the Nationals down the stretch. Adam LaRoche (shoulder) projects as the starting first baseman at the moment, but Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reported Monday that the Nationals have “serious interest” in Prince Fielder.
