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.
The Florida Marlins opened up Spring Training with a 16-3 clubbing of the Baltimore Orioles.
Sergio Mitre started on the mound for the Marlins but only lasted three batters as he gave up two walks, and and let another batter reach on an error. Mitre left after having some tightness in his pitching elbow. Probably just some standard spring training soreness.
As Mitre left the game, Andrew Miller came in and had to get an inning ending double play to get out of trouble. From there though, it was all Marlins as the offense kicked into high gear.
Hanley Ramirez walked, stole two bases and scored on a throwing error in the first inning. Left fielder Brett Carroll delivered a two-run single in the second and another run-scoring single in the sixth, and Cody Ross drilled a three-run home run in the fourth. Alejandro De Aza capped the scoring by belting a grand slam in the ninth inning.
