Marlins' Brad Ziegler (back) still out Tuesday with illness

Miami Marlins reliever Brad Ziegler (back) is out again on Tuesday versus the New York Mets due to an illness.

What It Means:

Ziegler was set to return from a back injury that has kept him out since September 7, but he'll have to wait a little longer due to an apparent flu bag. Prior to going down, the 37-year-old right-hander spun a 5.04 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and 12.3 strikeout percentage across 44 2/3 innings while going 9-for-13 on save chances.

numberFire's models project Ziegler to post a 3.83 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 4 strikeouts over the remainder of the season.
