Marlins' Kemp Alderman: Out with broken hand

Alderman is on the 7-day injured list with Single-A Jupiter due to a broken hamate bone in his left hand and should return to action in May, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

The bat-first outfielder slashed just .205/.286/.316 with 39 strikeouts and seven walks in 34 games at Single-A after the Marlins selected him with the No. 47 overall pick last year, so this will be an important year for Kemp to get on track. He turns 22 in August and is limited to corner-outfield and designated-hitter work, meaning Alderman needs to show significant offensive potential in order to profile as a future big leaguer.
