Marlins' Payton Henry: Contract selected, starting Friday

Henry had his contract selected by the Marlins and is starting behind the plate Friday against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Henry was acquired from the Brewers in exchange for John Curtiss at the trade deadline, and he'll make his MLB debut Friday for Miami. The 24-year-old hit well at Double-A to open the season, but he has a sub-.700 OPS in 41 games since being promoted to the Triple-A level. He'll receive a look in the majors with Jorge Alfaro (calf) heading to the injured list.
