By Ehsan Kassim |

Good morning, Marlin Maniac readers and welcome to Morning Catch, the daily morning news and notes column from MarlinManiac.com about your Miami Marlins.

The best time to kick someone is when they’re down. That seems to be the case with the Miami Marlins these days.

After receiving scrutiny from current players, fans, baseball analysts and even agent Scott Boras, the hits keep on coming for the franchise.

This time, it was the newly departed Dan Haren taking a shot at the Miami Marlins.

Haren doesn’t directly take a shot at the Miami Marlins’ front office, but he does state he feels bad for several of his former teammates, which all but implies he was not happy with how his exit, or other things in 2015, were handled by the Marlins’ front office.

I’d fully expect to hear some sort of soundbite from Michael Morse and Mat Latos, both whom were dealt to Los Angeles, in the coming days.

People are dumping on the Miami Marlins right now. And may I add, rightfully so.

Marlins reliever Carter Capps not too concerned with elbow stiffness – Christina De Nicola, Fox Sports Florida

The Miami Marlins seem to have avoided another devastating injury as reliever Carter Capps exited during the eighth inning of Sunday’s game with right elbow stiffness and is listed as day-to-day. He will undergo an MRI Monday morning for precautionary reasons.

“I’m not really concerned, just frustrated it tightened up when the game’s on the line,” Capps said. “It definitely gives me a lot of comfort like I said it already feels better now. I have full range of motion. I passed all the tests. It’s really not an issue, just unfortunately cramped up on me. Didn’t need it to happen that at-bat.” (Read More Here)
