To make room on the roster for tonight's starter, Josh Johnson, outfielder Reggie Abercrombie was returned to Triple-A Albuquerque after Sunday's game.

Abercrombie, who spent all of last season with the Marlins, hit .212 with two homers and five RBI in 20 games since his May 9 recall.

"To me I'm getting better," Abercrombie said. "It's a business, man. I'm straight with it. It's cool. I'll just go back down and get to play."

It seemed like this was coming when the Marlins opted to promote Brett Carroll. The move frees up a roster spot for Josh Johnson, who will start on Monday. Abercrombie hit .212/.246/.333 in 66 at-bats for the Marlins. He was at .212/.271/.333 in 255 at-bats last year, so at least he's got the whole consistency thing down.
