VICTORIA -- Matt Marshall fired 7-under 63 Thursday to take the first round lead at the Times Colonist Island Savings Open, the first event of the inaugural PGA Tour Canada season. Marshall, a fourth-year Tour veteran, received a putting tip from his father that helped him navigate the front nine in just 29 strokes. "What really seems to help me go low is my putter. I got a lesson from my dad last night and all of a sudden it started clicking," Marshall said. "The greens here are the best Ive ever seen in an afternoon round." Marshall also feels healthy after overcoming nagging inflammation in his left shoulder that had been bothering him since last summer. "I really didnt think about a score," he said. "I was injured most of the winter and this is really my first tournament, so I didnt have many expectations. "I went out and played and all of a sudden putts started going in, and before I knew it I was about 7-under." Joe Panzeri was one stroke behind Marshall after opening at 6-under 64. "I think playing the course and the event the last couple of years really helps," Panzeri said. "Feeling comfortable out here is really important." Riley Wheeldon of Comox, B.C., was the top Canadian, tied for third at 5-under 65. The tours leading money winner at seasons end will be fully exempt on the Web.com Tour for 2014, with the next four players receiving highly placed status. "The incentive on this Tour is a lot bigger and I think everyones really motivated," Wheeldon said. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., opened at 3-under 67, while Torontos Albin Choi carded 2-under 68 in his first ever professional round. Matt Makinson of Coquitlam, B.C., had the first hole-in-one in PGA Tour Canada history, holing an eight iron on the 171-yard 17th hole.

MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins entered this weekend with a potent lineup, a solid bullpen, a 1 1/2-game lead over the New York Mets in the battle for the National League wild-card playoff race and a very shaky rotation once you get past All-Star Jose Fernandez.On Sunday, that rotation issue became much worse, and Miamis lead shrunk to a half-game over the Mets as a result of a 3-0 loss to New York.Next up for the Marlins (53-45) is a visit from the Philadelphia Phillies, but Miami will have to take them on without starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen.After Sundays game, the Marlins announced that Chen, who they signed to an extravagant, five-year, $80 million contract in the offseason, was going on the disabled list due to an elbow injury.There are rumors that Chen could be done for the season and may need Tommy John surgery. But, as of now, thats not what the Marlins are saying.(Chen) came in after his last start a little bit tender in the elbow, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. Weve got to be cautious with him. We dont feel like its anything crazy (such as surgery), but we also want to be careful.Chen, who is 5-4 with a 4.99 ERA, has been a major disappointment for Miami. In fact, he hasnt been anywhere near the solid pitcher he had been during his four-year career with the Baltimore Orioles. Chen was 46-32 with a 3.72 ERA with the Orioles, which is how he got the big contract from Miami.Unfortunately for the Marlins, Mattingly has no other good choice. He is about to replace one disappointing pitcher with another.Jarred Cosart is expected to join the rotation in time to start Monday against the Phillies. Cosart, who started the season with the Marlins, was quickly demoted after he went 0-1 with a 7.98 ERA in three starts.He has been mediocre at Triple-A New Orleans, posting a 3-4 record, a 4.09 ERA, a .158 WHIP and .279 batting average allowed.This will be Cosarts first major league start since April 22, when the Marlins finally gave up on a pitcher who walked 15 batters in his first 14 2/3 innings this season.Now, though, they need Cosart again.(Cosart) is the guy, Mattingly said. He is throwing the ball the best down there (in New Orleans) rightt now.ddddddddddddThats not exactly a strong endorsement, but what else can Mattingly say?The fact remains that the Marlins are one of several teams fighting -- at least for the moment -- for two wild-card spots. That list includes the Mets, St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers. And dont forget the Pittsburgh Pirates -- they are just two games behind Miami.Meanwhile, the rebuilding Phillies (45-55) are realistically out of the playoff racePhiladelphia, which lost to the Pirates 5-4 on Sunday, has dropped seven of 10 games since the All-Star Game. There is speculation that it wont be long before the organization calls up two top prospects -- 21-year-old shortstop J.P. Crawford and 22-year-old left fielder Nick Williams.Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis, who is batting just .232, could move to second base or to a utility role once Crawford arrives. Crawford, who is in his first year at Triple-A, is batting .317 with a .381 on-base percentage.The Phillies on Monday will likely place infielder Andres Blanco on the disabled list after he was spiked by Gregory Polanco of the Pirates. Blancos absence could open up a spot for Crawford.Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco, who missed Saturdays game after getting hit by a pitch on his wrist, returned on Sunday.The big need is for an upgrade at shortstop, which Crawford could address if he is ready.The Phillies started Cody Asche in left field on Sunday, but he is hitless in his past 21 at-bats, including 10 strikeouts.The solution could be Aaron Altherr, who was expected to be the Phillies starter in right field this season before he needed wrist surgery. The Phillies could also turn to reserves Tyler Goeddel or Jimmy Paredes.Williams, who draws precious few walks, is another possibility, but he could probably benefit from remaining at Triple-A to hone his plate discipline.On Monday night, Philadelphia will throw right-hander Jeremy Hellickson (7-7, 3.84 ERA) against Cosart, a matchup the Phillies no doubt love.After all, Hellickson beat the Marlins 4-1 on Wednesday.
