In the midst of their worst mini-slump of the 2020 season, the Marlins announced a series of roster moves prior to Tuesday’s game. Rookie right-hander Humberto Mejía was recalled from the alternate training site to make his start against the Mets. On a more surprising note, independent ball pick-ups RHP Brett Eibner and LHP Brandon Leibrandt are joining the bullpen. As corresponding moves for Eibner and Leibrandt, Justin Shafer has been optioned and Brian Moran (right knee patella tendinitis) is headed to the 10-day IL. Mike Morin’s elbow injury is apparently a severe one as he’s been transferred to the 45-day IL.
