After a series of roster transactions on Monday, including Henderson Alvarez landing on the 15-day disabled list, the team was required to make one more move, one that likely won’t have any impact on the major league roster. The Marlins placed David Phelps on the paternity list and recalled prospect Jose Urena from Triple-A New Orleans.

Though David Phelps is not with the team right now, manager Mike Redmond expects him to be back on Friday and make his first start of the season, in place of the injured Henderson Alvarez.
