Back end of Marlins rotation still a question mark

Florida went into the season with three “proven” names in their rotation. The back end was not
that clear and remains so despite the hot start to the season. The 8-0 loss to the Pirates
served to make things worse.

#4 pitcher Andrew Miller will now go on the 15 day DL with a strain. Most likely, some
of the names from the bullpen will take his spot. There is no real frontrunner for the vacant job.

It will be necessary to watch how much their bullpen is used as well. They did set a club record with 24 scoreless innings, but Kensing gave up that fatal grand slam in last night’s game. You don’t want to wear them out too early in the season.
