Quero was removed from Triple-A Nashville's game Friday with an apparent shoulder injury, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

The 21-year-old suffered the injury diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt and subsequently exited the contest. The specifics of the injury are unclear, but it's a discouraging development for Quero in the first game of the season.

Edwards (foot) is able to hit and throw at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Edwards in on the injured list with an infection in his left foot. While it is understandably keeping him from running, he is able to perform other baseball activities. It's not clear when he might be ready for a rehab assignment.

Olivares is starting in right field and batting fifth in Friday's game in Miami, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Olivares didn't start Opening Day against a lefty, but he gets the nod in the second game with southpaw A.J. Puk on the hill. The left-handed hitting Jack Suwinski has been on the bench for both games.

Suwinski is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Marlins, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The Pirates have faced a lefty in each of the first two games of the season and Suwinski has been on the bench both times. Suwinski did get two plate appearances Thursday after entering as a pinch hitter and will be an option as a replacement again Friday. Edward Olivares is in right field.

Tellez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Tellez was in there for the opener against left-hander Jesus Luzardo, but he'll sit for this one with the Marlins starting another southpaw in A.J. Puk. Connor Joe will handle first base.

Fortes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Fortes received the nod Opening Day and went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch. Christian Bethancourt is starting behind the plate Friday, and the pair is set to split catching duties this season.

Gordon is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Gordon started in left field Thursday and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout, but he'll hit the bench Friday with southpaw Martin Perez on the mound for Pittsburgh. Bryan De La Cruz will take over in left field while Josh Bell receives a turn at designated hitter.

Sanchez is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base Opening Day, and he'll take a seat Friday with lefty Martin Perez pitching for Pittsburgh. Avisail Garcia will receive the start in right field in Sanchez's absence.

Bethancourt is starting at catcher and batting ninth in Friday's game versus the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Nick Fortes started at catcher on Opening Day, but it will be Bethancourt behind the dish Friday with A.J. Puk on the mound. It will likely be a fairly even split in playing time this season between the two, limiting the already low fantasy upside of each.

Bride is starting at third base and batting eighth in Friday's game versus the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Bride was a late addition to the Opening Day roster after the Marlins traded Jon Berti, and he winds up getting a start in the club's second game against left-hander Martin Perez. Jake Burger is sliding over to first base and Josh Bell will be the designated hitter.
