Jorge Alfaro’s spring training with the Miami Marlins has once again come to a halt.
The Marlins are shutting down the catcher while he deals with inflammation in his right knee. Alfaro is expected to be ready for Opening Day on March 28.
Alfaro initially injured the knee in the Grapefruit League opener on Feb. 23 after running into the dugout railing trying to track down a foul ball. Alfaro seemed to tweak the knee again on Tuesday when he was picked off at second base.
Alfaro played in three games total for the Marlins this spring, two as a catcher and one as a designated hitter.
