The game between the Florida Marlins and Reds was postponed because of poor weather Thursday, called two hours before it was supposed to start because of steady showers. No makeup date was set for the finale of the scheduled four-game series. Marlins SP Andrew Miller, who had been scheduled to start Thursday night, will be pushed back to pitch Friday night against the Kansas City Royals. The entire rotation will be moved back a day. Which means, Scott Olsen will now pitch Saturday against the Royals and Burke Badenhop will pitch the series finale Sunday. Mark Hendrickson moves to Tuesday against the Diamondbacks and Ricky Nolasco will pitch Wednesday. (Updated 05/15/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The rainout now makes Hendrickson a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25) after he was supposed to be one Fantasy Week 7 (May 12-18). Nolasco gets bumped from his two-start status. Hendrickson is pitching well enough now to be a low-end Fantasy SP in mixed leagues, while Nolasco remains a risky NL-only Fantasy SP. Miller is also a NL-only Fantasy SP, but remains a solid long-term keeper. Olsen is a viable mixed league Fantasy SP and Badenhop is also best left for NL-only leagues. (Updated 05/15/2008).
Miller allowed just two hits and struck out seven in seven innings of Saturday's 11-0 win over Washington. (Updated 05/11/2008)
Advice
Miller, who has won his last three decisions, has given up just two runs and six hits in 13 innings over his last two starts.
