Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez (shoulder) is scheduled to make his first rehab start Thursday with High-A Jupiter.

Alvarez threw around 50 pitches in a simulated game on Saturday and felt fine. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season with inflammation in his throwing shoulder and will probably be asked to make several starts in the minor leagues before being considered for activation. He was acquired from the Blue Jays this past offseason as part of that 12-player blockbuster trade.

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez (shoulder) is expected to throw between 50 and 55 pitches during a simulated game on Saturday.

Alvarez was initially expected back in early May, but has suffered a few setbacks along the way. However, it finally appears that he's making tangible progress toward joining the Marlins' rotation. He'll need to go out on a rehab assignment first, though.

Jun 7 - 7:05 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Marlins transferred RHP Henderson Alvarez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot for Nick Green on the active roster. Alvarez recently had a setback with his shoulder and isn't close to returning.

May 7 - 2:40 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez has been shut down after experiencing a setback with his shoulder.

Alvarez threw a simulated game over the weekend and was expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment this week, but apparently he's still dealing with discomfort. The 23-year-old began the season on the disabled list with what was termed as right shoulder inflammation.

May 2 - 5:11 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez (shoulder) will throw a 45-pitch simulated game on Saturday.

He'll then progress to 60 pitches in a rehab game next Thursday. Alvarez, who is on the shelf with right shoulder inflammation, will probably be ready for a rehab assignment after that. It sounds like he's on pace for a mid-May return.

Apr 26 - 12:00 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez (shoulder) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Friday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list.

Alvarez is further along in his recovery than Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder), but this is his first time throwing off the mound since opening the season on the DL. The Marlins are hoping he'll rejoin their starting rotation in early May.

Apr 13 - 8:57 AM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez (shoulder) has resumed a throwing program.

Alvarez has been shut down since being placed on the disabled list, but could be cleared for a bullpen session by the end of the week. The Marlins are hoping he'll rejoin their starting rotation sometime in early May.

Apr 7 - 9:03 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Marlins placed RHP Henderson Alvarez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27, with mild right shoulder inflammation.

Alvarez had nailed down the No. 4 spot in the Marlins' rotation, but he's now expected to miss at least a month with a shoulder issue. He's expected to resume throwing next week. Nathan Eovaldi is also out with a shoulder ailment of his own, and the Fish will use Jose Fernandez and Alex Sanabia as their rotation replacements.

Mar 31 - 9:48 AM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez surrendered four runs -- one earned -- in five innings and struck out seven against the Nationals on Tuesday.

Alvarez was officially named the Marlins' No. 4 starter earlier in the day. We have him as their No. 2 for fantasy purposes, but that still doesn't make him much of an option in mixed leagues. We'll be more optimistic if the strikeouts keep coming.

Mar 26 - 4:16 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez yielded three runs and six hits in two innings in his start versus the Twins on Friday.

All but one of the hits were singles. Alvarez struck out one and walked none. He'll now go pitch for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. Unless he struggles after rejoining the Marlins, his rotation spot should be safe.

Mar 1 - 4:50 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez will pitch for Venezuela in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Alvarez, who was acquired by the Marlins in the 12-player trade in November, will take on a more important role for the Venezuelan squad now that Felix Hernandez has backed out. He's expected to start in game two of the opening round against Puerto Rico.

Feb 9 - 4:20 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Marlins acquired RHP Henderson Alvarez from the Blue Jays in a 12-player trade.

It wasn't too long ago that Alvarez was a highly-regarded prospect, but the results haven't quite matched up yet, as he has a 4.52 ERA over his first 41 major league starts. The 22-year-old right-hander is a hard-thrower, averaging 93.3 mph on his fastball, and has good control, but he has only notched 119 strikeouts over 251 innings in the majors. He's a lock to make the Marlins' rotation out of spring training, but it's tough to see him as anything more than a backend starter at the moment.

Mon, Nov 19, 2012 03:28:00 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez pitched well in a no-decision Sunday, permitting just two runs over six innings in a loss to the Yankees.

Alvarez kept the Yankees in check on seven hits and no walks while striking out four, but he watched his bullpen surrender seven runs over the final three frames. The sinkerballer pitched pretty decently in September to close out the year, but a 4.85 ERA and 1.44 WHIP is ultimately not what the Jays were hoping for.

Sun, Sep 30, 2012 05:17:00 PM

Henderson Alvarez - S - Marlins

Henderson Alvarez bounced back from a three-run first to hold the Yankees scoreless for the next six innings in Wednesday's loss.

Alvarez fanned a season-high seven batters today. He had only one other start this year with more than four strikeouts, that also coming against the Yankees when he fanned six in six innings on July 16. The seven K's today were more than he had in his previous four starts combined.

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

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

	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
