Pirates' Marte fine after being hit on hand by pitch

Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports

One of the best outfields in baseball will remain intact, at least for now.

Starling Marte is fine after being hit by a pitch on the hand in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs.

The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder underwent precautionary X-rays to detect a possible break in the hand, but they came back negative.

He is considered day-to-day.

Marte is hitting .224 with five home runs and 12 RBIs in 14 games.
