Per sources Marlins Outfielder Monte Harrison was involved in a clubhouse incident in Washington which he instigated a confrontation with teammate Starling Marte. My understanding is the club has handled the situation internally.

The Marlins were in Washington from Monday-Wednesday for a three-game series where they went 1-2. They lost the first game of the series 18-1. Marte was not in the lineup for that game. His absence was attributed to a shoulder issue that came up the previous game. Harrison, who is a reserve outfielder, started and went 1-for-3 with a double in the game.
Harrison was demoted to the minors on Wednesday, a day before this report emerged.
