Yusmeiro Petit was optioned to Albuquerque after yesterday's game. Fulling the wish of Hinz57er, as expressed, in his diary.
Following Sunday's win, reliever Yusmeiro Petit was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. Petit last pitched on June 5, logging three innings at San Francisco. Expected to be brought up from Albuquerque is right-handed pitcher Jeff Fulchino. Fulchino will become the 19th rookie on the Marlins' roster this season.
This is a good thing. Petit, at this point in his career, needs the innings. Something he wasn't getting with the big club. Petit will one day be a starter and him sitting on a plastic chair in the bullpen wasn't helping anyone.
While Jeff Fulchino is very welcomed aboard, he isn't expected to take much more of a roll than mop up duty while he is with the Marlins.
