Gaby Sanchez gets the first spring start at first base for the Marlins

Gaby Sanchez will get the start at first base for the Marlins’ first exhibition game Wednesday against the University of Miami. But that doesn’t mean he has any early nod over Logan Morrison in their competition for first base.
Sanchez is a UM alum, so manager Fredi Gonzalez wants to give him a chance to play against his old school.

Ricky Nolasco will start the game. The rest of the Marlins’ position players will be Gonzalez’s regulars: LF Chris Coghlan, CF Cameron Maybin, RF Cody Ross, 2B Dan Uggla, SS Hanley Ramirez, 3B Jorge Cantu and C John Baker.

Those players will get at least two at-bats. The game starts at 3:05 p.m. at Roger Dean Stadium.

The Marlins open their Grapefruit League season Thursday against the Nationals.
