Trio Of Marlins Veterans Returning Soon
7 years agoMiami Marlins starting pitchers Dan Straily (forearm) and Wei-Yin Chen (elbow) and third baseman Martin Prado (knee) are all set to be activated from the disabled list as early as this weekend. Straily is expected to come off the DL to start Sunday, while Chen is aiming to return to the rotation Saturday against the Rockies. That means that two of Dillon Peters, Caleb Smith and Trevor Richards are in danger of being bumped out of the rotation. Prado is expected back in the next few days, which means he'll take over the hot corner for Brian Anderson, who will move to outfield or first base. Straily is the most fantasy relevant of the three, but fantasy owners should be extremely wary of using him in his first start back against Colorado, especially since he didn't look that great in his rehab starts. Chen made just five starts last season and should only be considered in NL-only leagues, as well as Prado at the hot corner.
