June 7, 20197 yr Caleb Smith to the 10-day IL with "left hip inflammation." Kinley called up to take his place.
June 7, 20197 yr So much for the "Marlins are the only team to use five starters" stat ? Who takes the start when K. Leb's next turn comes around? Kinley is just temporary bullpen help. Is it Gallen time? Elieser? Kickham paired with Brigham? Mike kicks the ham after Jeff brings the ham? Marlins sign Bartholomew Colon? Marlins trade for Renyel Pinto? Marlins sign Nate Bump?
June 7, 20197 yr Author If it were going to be Gallen, I'd imagine they'd have called him up and not Kinley.
June 7, 20197 yr If it were going to be Gallen, I'd imagine they'd have called him up and not Kinley. Don't need to call up Tuesday's starter until Tuesday. Might as well use the spot on an extra bullpen arm for Mattingly to misuse.
June 7, 20197 yr Ah dang. I was going to suggest if we had a day off on Monday, just go with a 4-man rotation for a couple weeks but yeah it's probably gonna be Chen.
June 8, 20197 yr Hmmm, I wonder if that has been bothering him on his last few starts. That would explain the subpar stats and justify the DL stint.
June 8, 20197 yr Could be worse than a hip injury: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mariners-mitch-haniger-goes-on-injured-list-with-ruptured-testicle/amp/
June 8, 20197 yr Tbh before Gallen it should be Elieser Hernandez who gets the opportunity here. Be patient on Gallen and bring him up when it's meant to be long term. This opportunity here might be no more than two starts so give it to Elieser who has earned at least another shot.
