Drew Steckenrider likely to join Miami Marlins while David Phelps away

The Miami Marlins are likely to call up one their highest rated prospects in the coming days. As a result of David Phelps being placed on the teams bereavement list, indications suggest they will be calling up Drew Steckenrider. News was first reported by the Sun-Sentinal.

Phelps won’t be with the team during the Oakland A’s series. The Fish are scheduled to play two games in fewer than 24 hours in Oakland. Phelps absence is the result of the passing of a family relative.

Steckenrider was expected to make his debut at some point during the 2017 season.
