Apparently Lopez has a shoulder injury of some sort.

The Marlins are reportedly planning to promote righty Zac Gallen for his first MLB start. Craig Mish of MLB Network Radio on Sirius XM confirms some quality Reddit sleuthing (Twitter links). He’ll take the ball tomorrow in place of Pablo Lopez, who is headed to the injured list.

 

Gallen has been among the most intriguing hurlers in the minors thus far in 2019. He’s now through 91 1/3 innings of 1.77 ERA ball over 14 starts, with an impressive tally of 112 strikeouts against just 17 walks. While he has certainly shown legitimate potential at times in the past, that’s a new level of productivity for the 23-year-old.

 

Things are certainly headed in an interesting direction for a player who arrived in Miami without a ton of fanfare. He was a notable, but not overly hyped piece of the swap that sent outfielder Marcell Ozuna to the Cardinals. Gallen came over with Sandy Alcantara, whom he’ll now join on the Marlins staff.

Apparently it's a shoulder injury of some sort.

So from Marlins Twitter:

 

 - Puello acquired for cash considerations

 

 - Herrera DFA

 

 - Lopez to IL

 

 - Quijada called up, not Gallen

 

Hopefully still Gallen coming up, but TBD.

 

Gallen will come up before tomorrow's game. This way we have an extra reliever tonight. Didn't need Gallen on the roster tonight.

We have an abundance of outfielders and O'Brien hasn't really shown he can stick around. He might not even get picked up by anyone to be honest. 

 

O'Brien at first base was an enticing option to me, with the power he has. But his hitting ability was ... eh.
