PT TOMORROW: NL East -- Miami ponders a Sixto-man rotation

Miami Marlins

It's not often we talk about the Marlins and a surplus of pitching, but that's the situation they may soon find themselves in.

Sandy Alcantara (RHP), Caleb Smith (LHP), and José Ureña (RHP) were projected to form 60% of Miami's rotation this season. Instead, they have only combined for two starts total in the first month of the season, having apparently being caught up in the team-wide COVID-19 outbreak.

As this trio gets closer to returning, the question of who they displace from the rotation isn't as clear as previously expected.

Almost!
