Sore right ankle won't stop Marlins' Olsen

"Scott Olsen said he will make his scheduled start Thursday despite a sore right ankle that had him limping around the clubhouse Sunday morning. Olsen rolled his ankle Saturday while covering first base.

''I don't miss starts,'' Olsen said. ``When was the last time I missed one?''

Olsen has never missed a start with the Marlins because of injury.

''My arm's not broke,'' Olsen said, but he acknowledged that he probably won't throw his normal bullpen session Monday because of soreness in the ankle.

Manager Fredi Gonzalez didn't seem concerned.

''I'd be surprised if he doesn't make [his next start],'' Gonzalez said.

If Olsen is unable to start, one fallback option would be Andrew Miller, who made a rehabilitation start Saturday for Single A Jupiter. The Marlins plan to have Miller make another rehabilitation start Thursday."
