Miami didn’t add another starter in advance of Miami’s non-waiver trade deadline, and as the club makes a playoff push, that will likely be an issue.
The Marlins’ lone move for starting pitching came Friday, when the organization acquired Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea from the Padres in exchange for Jarred Cosart, Carter Capps and a pair of prospects.
Rea was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, a day after he exited his Marlins debut in the fourth inning with elbow pain. The Marlins considered it elbow soreness, which had Rea sidelined last season.
Rea must have passed his physical with the Marlins, but the Padres must have known something the Marlins didn’t.
