June 19, 20197 yr https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/06/marlins-to-promote-zac-gallen-place-pablo-lopez-on-il.html Apparently Lopez has a shoulder injury of some sort. Quote 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.
June 19, 20197 yr Terrible news about Pablo. I hope it is not serious but shoulder injuries are scary business.
June 19, 20197 yr Terrible news about Pablo. I hope it is not serious but shoulder injuries are scary business. i'm hoping they're putting him on the 10 day DL doyers style to give him some extra rest
June 19, 20197 yr Is Lopez going on the IL-60? how did they make room on the 40 man? They haven't made the move officially yet.
June 19, 20197 yr Author Is Lopez going on the IL-60? how did they make room on the 40 man? What I've seen hasn't said.
June 19, 20197 yr Starting pitchers dropping like flies but this is where we see that we finally have actual depth. The second wave of starters is pretty frickin nice.
June 19, 20197 yr Terrible news about Pablo. I hope it is not serious but shoulder injuries are scary business. specially if you're a mover
June 19, 20197 yr Rosell Herrera was DFA'd for Gallen's callup. We DFA'd him to make room for Cesar Puello, just acquired via trade w Angels. He was DFA'd when they activated Upton.
June 19, 20197 yr 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.
June 19, 20197 yr 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. To Be Dicked
June 19, 20197 yr 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.
June 20, 20197 yr Still how do we get Gallen on the 40 man roster? Hope someone takes Herrera or release him, unsure. Does DFA automatically move him off the 40 man? Then again I guess that's how we got Puello, so ... yes?
June 20, 20197 yr Hope someone takes Herrera or release him, unsure. Does DFA automatically move him off the 40 man? Then again I guess that's how we got Puello, so ... yes? DFA does and yes Puello took that spot.
June 20, 20197 yr There are a few names I'd have DFA'd before O'Brien. But whatever. 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.
June 21, 20197 yr 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.
June 21, 20197 yr It's so cruel, O'Brien said before that it's a dream come true to playing for the Marlins…
