Kazmir (thumb) said Saturday that he will not miss his next scheduled start, ESPN's Doug Padilla reports.

Analysis:

He has been dealing with nagging soreness on the thumb side of his left wrist since spring training, and the bruise forced him to leave Friday's start after the fifth inning. It is worth monitoring his status throughout the week, as the team has not confirmed anything, but it sounds like the injury won't cost Kazmir his start Wednesday against the Marlins.
