Marlins reliever Ryne Stanek is dealing with back stiffness and hasn't pitched in a week. According to manager Don Mattingly, Stanek has a stiff lower back, and the team is trying to keep an eye on it. (Joe Frisaro, MLB.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Stanek was acquired from the Rays last season and was seen as one of the top late-inning options for the Marlins this season. While Brandon Kintzler is expected to serve as the Miami closer to start the season, many think that Stanek could take over the role at some point. Monitor his status over the next week to see if he is able to return to game action. The Marlins open up the season on March 26 against the Phillies.
