After Tom Koehler was sent to the minor leagues, further examination revealed an injury that would require time on the disabled list. The Miami Marlins voided the demotion, and Koehler was placed on the 10-day DL instead. So the question remains: who will take over his spot in the rotation in his absence?
In a corresponding move, the Marlins recalled pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne. It was unclear what Despaigne’s role would be when rejoining the team, but last night provided some clarity.
In a losing effort, the Miami Marlins tabbed Despaigne to hold the the deficit at three; he failed.
