Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Marlins recalled LHP Brad Hand from Triple-A New Orleans.

The Marlins needed an extra arm after Monday's 15-inning game. Hand had a 2.00 ERA in five starts for the Zephyrs, but he's likely just up to provide some bullpen depth for a couple of days.

Apr 30 - 2:30 AM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Marlins optioned LHP Brad Hand, RHPs Evan Reed, Alex Sanabia and OF Kyle Jensen to Triple-A New Orleans; RHP Sam Dyson, LHP Edgar Olmos and OF Marcell Ozuna to Double-A Jacksonville.

Hand had an outside shot at a rotation spot this spring, but he allowed four runs and walked five over his first three innings to earn a ticket to minor league camp. He could get a chance with the big club at some point this season.

Mar 11 - 1:34 PM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Brad Hand walked four and was charged with two runs while getting just two outs Saturday against the Cardinals.

Hand was decent as a 21-year-old rookie for the Marlins in 2011, posting a 4.20 ERA in 12 starts, but he made just one major league start in a 2012 season spent mostly in Triple-A and he's turned into an afterthought now. He'll probably be sent to minor league camp pretty early in the spring.

Feb 23 - 5:01 PM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Marlins recalled LHP Brad Hand from Triple-A New Orleans.

Hand struggled in a spot start for the Marlins this year but struck out 141 over 148 1/3 frames at Triple-A. He'll likely being next season back at New Orleans.

Fri, Oct 5, 2012 10:46:00 AM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Marlins optioned LHP Brad Hand to Triple-A New Orleans.

Hand was sent down after allowing seven runs over 3 2/3 innings in the first game of Friday's doubleheader on the Nationals. The Marlins called up right-hander Evan Reed to replace him on the active roster.

Fri, Aug 3, 2012 09:57:00 PM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Marlins recalled LHP Brad Hand from Triple-A New Orleans.

Hand will get the ball Friday in the first game of the doubleheader against the Nationals and then will likely be sent right back down after the start. The lefty holds a 3.66 ERA and 116/54 K/BB ratio over 128 innings at Triple-A this season.

Fri, Aug 3, 2012 09:37:00 AM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

The Marlins will recall Brad Hand to start the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

He's getting the nod over Jacob Turner, who the Marlins have chosen to remain on the farm to get more seasoning. Hand, who holds a 3.66 ERA and 116/54 K/BB ratio over 128 innings at Triple-A, will be sent back down right after the start.

Thu, Aug 2, 2012 03:02:00 PM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Marlins optioned LHP Brad Hand and RHP Evan Reed to Double-A Jacksonville; RHPs Alex Sanabia, Tom Koehler and Sandy Rosario, LHP Dan Jennings, 3B Matt Dominguez and OF Kevin Mattison to Triple-A New Orleans.

Hand gave the Marlins some decent outings at times last season and will likely be the team's "No. 6" starter going into the 2012 campaign, though Sanabia could also wind up holding that unofficial title if he's healthy. Dominguez is still terrific with the glove but simply hasn't progressed with the bat as hoped.

Sun, Mar 18, 2012 09:37:00 AM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Brad Hand was perfect for two innings, striking out three, Tuesday versus the Tigers.

Hand jumped from Double-A to the majors last June and held his own, but the Marlins didn't want to have to count on him right from the start this year. Because of the Mark Buehrle and Carlos Zambrano additions, Hand is expected to go to Triple-A and wait his turn for another shot.

Tue, Mar 6, 2012 04:31:00 PM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Marlins manager Jack McKeon confirmed Monday that Brad Hand will not start again this season.

Hand, 21, has logged 173 2/3 innings this season between the minors and majors, so the Marlins have decided to shut him down for the season. Alex Sanabia will start in his place Saturday against the Brewers.

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

The Marlins might shut down Brad Hand.

Hand, 21, has pitched more than 173 innings this season between the minors and majors. He topped out at 113 2/3 innings last year between Single-A and Double-A.

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Brad Hand made it through just four innings Sunday, allowing four runs -- three earned -- on five hits and a walk in a loss to the Nationals.

He struck out five. Hand has now lost five straight starts to fall to 1-8 on the year. The good news is that he now has more strikeouts than walks for the season, but a 38/35 K/BB ratio over 60 innings is quite hideous. He'll face off with the Brewers next weekend.

Sun, Sep 18, 2011 04:36:00 PM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Brad Hand yielded three runs on seven hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Braves.

He struck out five. Hand was cruising along until the sixth, when Brian McCann followed a walk and a single with a three-run bomb. The left-hander has won just won of his 11 starts this year for the Marlins and holds an ugly 33/34 K/BB ratio over 56 innings. Assuming he gets another start, he'll carry a 4.02 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into this weekend's start against the Nats.

Tue, Sep 13, 2011 10:56:00 PM

Brad Hand - R - Marlins

Brad Hand was a hard-luck loser Wednesday after allowing one run in six innings against the Mets.

Hand allowed three hits, walked four and struck out none, so it wasn't exactly a dominant effort. The league is hitting just .227 off Hand, but he's hurt himself by walking 32 batters in 50 2/3 innings to date. He's currently 1-6 with a 3.91 ERA.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Rob Brantly
	2	Jeff Mathis
	3	Miguel Olivo
1B	1	Logan Morrison D.L. Logan Morrison (knee) will shift his rehab assignment to Double-A Jacksonville on Monday. Morrison has spent the past week with the High-A Jupiter Hammerheads, collecting three hits and one RBI in 13 at-bats. He's working his way back from September surgery to repair a torn patella tendon in his right knee and is currently aiming to join the Marlins in early June. NL-only leaguers might want to stash him now. May 23
	2	Casey Kotchman D.L. Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Casey Kotchman (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment "in the next few days." Kotchman is finally feeling improvement with his strained left hamstring. He was moved to the 60-day DL last week, though, so he won't be eligible to return until June. May 14
	3	Joe Mahoney D.L. Joe Mahoney (hamstring) is expected to begin playing in rehab games Sunday at Triple-A New Orleans. Mahoney was placed on the disabled list April 28 with a right hamstring strain. He'll beat Logan Morrison (knee) back to the Marlins' active roster but will probably be sent back to Triple-A when LoMo is deemed fully healthy. Mahoney, 26, carries no fantasy value. May 23
2B	1	Donovan Solano D.L. Donovan Solano's strained left intercostal muscle remains sore. There's no timetable for when he'll resume baseball activities, let alone when he'll return from the DL. Derek Dietrich will continue to serve as the primary second baseman for the Marlins. May 14
	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
	3	Derek Dietrich
	4	Nick Green
SS	1	Adeiny Hechavarria
3B	1	Placido Polanco
	2	Greg Dobbs
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
	4	Jordan Brown
CF	1	Chris Coghlan
	2	Justin Ruggiano
RF	1	Giancarlo Stanton D.L. Giancarlo Stanton took live batting practice Wednesday for the first time since straining his right hamstring. "He looked good," manager Mike Redmond said afterward. "I’m just going off the results. He was hitting them out. It’s another encouraging sign that he’s a little closer to being back on the field." Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 and is still without a timetable. The best guess is that he's activated around mid-June. May 23
	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	Nathan Eovaldi D.L. Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Thursday that Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) has been progressing with his long-toss program. It's not clear when Eovaldi will be ready to throw from a mound, but he's moving in the right direction. The right-hander looks to be a little behind Henderson Alvarez, who should be ready to rejoin the Marlins' rotation in mid-May. Apr 26
	3	Kevin Slowey Sidelined Kevin Slowey left Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with a left lat strain. The Marlins are calling him day-to-day, so it's evidently a minor strain. He will be reevaluated on Thursday before it's determined whether he can make his next start. Slowey was pitching well Wednesday before getting hurt, tossing five innings of one-run ball on six hits and no walks while recording six strikeouts. May 22
	4	Jose Fernandez
	5	Alex Sanabia
	6	Henderson Alvarez D.L. 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
	7	Tom Koehler
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Steve Cishek
	2	Mike Dunn
	3	Ryan Webb
	4	Chad Qualls
	5	A.J. Ramos
	6	Duane Below
	7	Wade LeBlanc
	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
