The Miami Marlins have finally caught a good break<\/a> with starting pitcher Edward Cabrera<\/a> coming off the injured list. Miami will place third baseman Jake Burger<\/a> on the 10-day IL due to a left oblique injury, tweets<\/a> Craig Mish of The Miami Herald. The club will recall Otto Lopez<\/a> to take Burger’s spot. As for Cabrera will make his start on Monday against the San Francisco Giants instead of A.J. Puk<\/a>. The left-hander is out due to an illness so he’ll be pushed back for a few days. Cabrera, 26, was out while recovering from a shoulder impingement he suffered during the offseason.<\/p>\n

According to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com<\/a>, Max Meyer will be optioned as the corresponding move for Cabrera’s return. Meyer’s workload and innings will be monitored as he’s coming back from Tommy John surgery. The Marlins could use a young, healthy starting pitcher with their ace Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara<\/a> and Eury P\u00e9rez<\/a> both out with the same injury as Meyer once had. Then there’s the top-of-the-rotation starter, Jes\u00fas Luzardo<\/a>, who is not looking too good as he is 0-2 so far with a 7.25 ERA in three games.<\/p>\n

\n

So the same sickness that is going through the clubhouse is affecting A.J. Puk, which will push him back to Wednesday.#Marlins<\/a> will have Edward Cabrera start in his place today.<\/p>\n

Corresponding roster move to come later to reinstate Cabrera from the IL.<\/p>\n
