Alex Cora will again start at second base today, in place of Luis Castillo, who will get another day off due to back spasms.

Also, Fernando Tatis will start for Carlos Delgado at first base.

According to the Daily News, “Delgado received an injection of anti-inflammatory medication and had an MRI exam yesterday.”

Jerry Manuel told reporters on Tuesday that Delgado would most likely return to the lineup on Friday, following tomorrow’s off day.

Daniel Murphy will return to the lineup in left field today, with Ryan Church in right field and Carlos Beltran in center.

Ramon Castro will start behind the plate, while Omir Santos gets the day off after starting in yesterday’s night game.

Today’s game will start at 1:10 pm.
