Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez left Sunday's game against the Cubs in the sixth inning with a hip injury. Covering first base, Alvarez landed awkwardly trying to grab a high throw from Garrett Jones and strained his left hip.
In 5 1/3 innings, Alvarez allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits. He struck out five and walked none.
Officially, Alvarez is day to day.
