Report: Marlins' Starling Marte suffered broken pinkie in win over Cubs

The Miami Marlins began their three-game National League Wild Card Series against the Chicago Cubs with a 5-1 win at Wrigley Field on Wednesday afternoon, but they might have lost a key contributor. 

ESPN reported shortly after the contest that center fielder Starling Marte suffered a broken pinkie when he was hit by a pitch in the top of the ninth inning. Marte was awaiting X-rays as of the time the story landed online. 

The 31-year-old joined the Marlins from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Aug. 31. In total, Marte hit .281 with 6 home runs, 27 RBI, 14 doubles, and 10 stolen bases during the pandemic-shortened season. 

Per MLB.com, the Marlins listed Marte as day-to-day pending further evaluations.
