MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Since there were no issues in a simulated game this morning, Marlins ace Jose Fernandez will be taken off the disabled list and plans to start this Saturday.
“It means the world,” he said. “It means a lot, not only for my piece of mind, but for our team, finishing the season strong. Going into next year everything is healthy and I’ll be ready to go next year.”
Fernandez has been sidelined with a biceps strain since Aug. 7. He missed the first three months of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
