Starting pitcher Sergio Mitre will be out atleast four to six weeks with a forearm strain.  Mitre met with Dr. James Andrews and he gave him the bad news about his arm.  The four to six weeks is if everything goes as planned but I would expect it to be atleast 8-12 weeks to be honest.

Mitre had been planned to be the opening day starter for the Marlins.  Now the Marlins will look for a couple of pitchers to step up and fill a couple of rotation spots.

The Florida Marlins made four roster moves on Monday morning as they sent Eulogio De La Cruz, Scott Nestor, and Jai Miller to Triple A.

Chris Coghlan was reassigned to Minor League camp.

With the current moves, the Marlins spring training roster now stands at 56 players.
