ST. LOUIS — The Marlins are expected to add outfielder Bryan Petersen to their roster on Monday when they open a four-game series with the Cardinals.

 

A left-handed hitter, Petersen is batting .342 with three homers, seven doubles and 10 RBIs at Triple-A New Orleans.

 

Petersen was not in New Orleans’ lineup on Sunday in their 10-7 win over Oklahoma City.

 

It is not yet known who Petersen will be replacing on the roster.

His tweet earlier: "St Louis. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. New grind."

I wonder who's going down. Murphy?

Does Ozzie go back down? Or could it possibly be Donnie?

I think Cousins is going down.

Most likely Cousins

It should be Donnie. He needs to get his swing figured out in the minors. With LoMo hurt and Coghlan hurting, can't afford to be short on OFs.

 

But I may be wrong

No way it's Cousins.

Lomo is out, Coghlan has a bad shoulder, Stanton is playing with a bad wheel... I can't see why they'd send Cousins down.

All I know is that Bonifacio and Dobbs need to be starting everyday until they cool off.

Because of his nonexistent bat, I can see it happening.

 

Had this news come out soon after Saturday's game I would have thought Infante was going to the DL. Glad that's not the case.

I'm hoping it's Donnie so he can get his swing figured out. And like mentioned, 3B is actually under control with the hot-hitting Dobbs/Boni platoon. Helms hasn't been too shabby off the bench, either.

Murphy to DL (retro to April 30th), clears the roster for Petersen

Good start to the season for Petersen. Hopefully he can contribute up here.

So wait. Is Murphy on the DL or "DL"?

All I know is that Bonifacio and Dobbs need to be starting everyday until they cool off.

 

And they probably will be despite Boni's iffy defense in LF.

I think the "DL" is for players who have no injury at all. Murphy came into the season with a surgically repaired wrist, got hit in that spot not too long after, and has had some problems because of it.

Gotcha, I forgot that he got hit on that wrist.

 

And now that I think about it, he beat everyone's expectations in coming back so soon with a surgically repaired wrist. Maybe he was never fully healthy? I still have hope for Mr. Murphy and would love to see him back on our bench (where he belongs) fully healthy.
