Former major league catcher and Philadelphia native John Marzano died this morning. He was 45 years old.

The cause of his death was not immediately clear.

Marzano has worked as a baseball analyst for MLB.com, while also filling in as a contributor to Comcast SportsNet's Phillies Postgame Live.

Marzano is survived by his wife, Terri, two daughters, Danielle and Dominique, and two grandchildren.

Jimmy Rollins (sprained left ankle) took infield practice prior to Saturday's game but still said he wasn't ready to return to the starting lineup.

"I felt a whole lot better," Rollins said. "There's still no time frame. I'm sure it's going to be a couple more days."

With two runners on and two outs, Rollins pinch hit for Jamie Moyer in the sixth inning. He grounded out to first base.
