Olsen makes season debut vs. Pirates

Apr 5, 2008 - 2:38 PM Pittsburgh (2-1) at Florida (1-2) 7:10 pm EDT

MIAMI (Ticker) -- Scott Olsen makes his season debut Saturday when the Florida Marlins host the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Olsen, who was hampered by shoulder tendinitis this spring, has the potential to be a reliable starter but has been known to be temperamental as well.

The 24-year-old lefthander was arrested on a DUI charge last July and had to be restrained with a stun gun. He also got into physical altercations with several teammates and former manager Joe Girardi.

Olsen went 10-15 with a 5.81 ERA in 33 starts last season.

Florida dropped two of its first three games to the New York Mets and was outscored, 24-7, in the series. The Marlins managed just six hits in a 13-0 loss on Wednesday.

Matt Morris will take the mound for the Pirates, who took two of three from the Braves to open the season.

Morris went 3-4 with a 6.11 ERA in 11 starts after being acquired from San Francisco in a trade-deadline deal last season.
