Chris Sampson and Brad Hand are candidates to replace the recently demoted Chris Volstad as the Marlins' No. 5 starter.

Hand is the obvious candidate because he's been up a couple times already and has pitched well. Sampson, though, has posted a 3.55 ERA in 12 starts at Triple-A New Orleans and might be worth a look. The Marlins won't need to promote either until next weekend. Sun, Jul 24, 2011 11:35:00 AM

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Rob Brantly
	2	Jeff Mathis
	3	Miguel Olivo Sidelined Marlins placed C Miguel Olivo on the restricted list. Olivo hasn't started since May 12 and is batting just .203/.250/.392 in 33 games this season. The Miami Herald reports that Olivo walked out on the Marlins after the team refused to grant his request for release. Jordan Brown has been called up from Triple-A New Orleans to take his roster spot. Jun 15
1B	1	Logan Morrison
	2	Casey Kotchman D.L. Marlins placed 1B Casey Kotchman on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain. Kotchman was due for a large dip in playing time anyway with starting first baseman Logan Morrison now back from the 60-day disabled list. Kotchman suffered the injury on Saturday and will probably be out three weeks. Jun 10
	3	Jordan Brown
2B	1	Derek Dietrich
	2	Chris Valaika D.L. Chris Valaika underwent successful surgery on Friday, having two pins inserted into his wrist. Valaika is expected to require 4-6 weeks of healing time before he's able to return to the Marlins. He had been virtually ineffective in his 22 games before the injury, hitting .219/.261/.344 with one homer and nine RBI. May 10
SS	1	Adeiny Hechavarria
3B	1	Placido Polanco
	2	Greg Dobbs
	3	Ed Lucas
LF	1	Juan Pierre
	2	Austin Kearns D.L. Marlins transferred OF Austin Kearns to the restricted list. Kearns was already on the bereavement list, so it's just a procedural move to give him more time. Kyle Skipworth has taken Kearns' spot on the roster. May 12
	3	Matt Diaz D.L. Marlins placed OF Matt Diaz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19, with a left knee contusion. Diaz should be ready to return to the active roster as soon as he's eligible. The 35-year-old is batting just .167/.211/.222 in 10 games this season with the Marlins. May 20
CF	1	Chris Coghlan D.L. Chris Coghlan has been instructed to continue resting his ailing back after visiting with a specialist on Sunday. It's good news, as there had been a possibility that he could require surgery. However, there remains no timetable for Coghlan's return. Jun 17
	2	Justin Ruggiano
RF	1	Giancarlo Stanton
	2	Marcell Ozuna
	3	Alfredo Silverio D.L. Marlins placed OF Alfredo Silverio on the 60-day disabled list with a sprained right elbow. It's not clear how long the Rule 5 pick will be out. Silverio missed the entire 2012 season after injuring his neck and back in an auto accident. Mar 31
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Ricky Nolasco
	2	Jose Fernandez
	3	Nathan Eovaldi
	4	Henderson Alvarez D.L. Henderson Alvarez (shoulder) is expected to need two more rehab starts before being activated from the disabled list. Alvarez is making his second rehab start on Tuesday after tossing five scoreless innings his first time out. He should be added to the Marlins' rotation before the end of the month. Jun 17
	5	Jacob Turner
	6	Tom Koehler
	7	Alex Sanabia D.L. Marlins placed RHP Alex Sanabia on the 15-day disabled list with weakness in his right groin. Sanabia felt discomfort in his groin during Sunday's loss to the White Sox and had to be lifted after four innings. The exact severity of the groin issue is unclear at the moment. Nathan Eovaldi will take Sanabia's spot in the Marlins' starting rotation later this week. May 27
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Steve Cishek
	2	Mike Dunn
	3	Ryan Webb
	4	Chad Qualls
	5	A.J. Ramos
	6	Dan Jennings
	7	Kevin Slowey
	8	Jose Ceda D.L. Marlins placed RHP Jose Ceda on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. The hard-throwing right-hander is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He should be ready for game action when his 60 days are up. Mar 31
