Former Arizona pitcher called up to majors by Marlins

The list of ex-Wildcats to make the big leagues keeps growing, with two more former Arizona baseball players getting the call up this week.

On Wednesday it was outfielder Cal Stevenson with the Oakland Athletics, and on Sunday it was left-handed pitcher Andrew Nardi with the Miami Marlins. He did not appear in Miami’s 3-1 home loss to the Atlanta Braves, so his Major League debut is expected to come during a 3-game home series this week against the San Diego Padres.

Nardi, who will turn 24 on Thursday, had been killing it for Miami’s Triple-A team in Jacksonville since getting promoted from Double-A in May.
