The frustrations from 2017 are carrying over into this year for Martin Prado.
The Marlins announced Wednesday that their veteran third baseman suffered a setback in his attempt to bounce back from hamstring and knee issues suffered last season and won’t be ready to return by Opening Day.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Prado suffered the injury while running during team workouts Tuesday.
Mattingly said it was borderline anyway as to whether Prado would have been ready for Opening Day. Prado will not participate in any baseball activities for the next few days and then will have to start the rehab process again, which will delay his eventual return to action.
