Roster round-up
As noted by Joe Frisaro, the Marlins have until 11:35 am eastern time on Thursday to officially finalize their roster. That being said, it appears they’ve come to a decision on a few things...
Caleb Smith will start 2nd game for Marlins. Despaigne will start the 3rd

Nothing has been announced, but the fact Trevor Richards, who isn't on the 40-man roster, was asked to be in Miami and not stay with Triple-A New Orleans could be a sign he will announced in the rotation later today @Marlins
— Joe Frisaro (@JoeFrisaro) March 27, 2018
Dillon Peters will start today, and this may just be a tuneup for him to be in the rotation. He would be my guess @Marlins
— Joe Frisaro (@JoeFrisaro) March 27, 2018
.@clarkspencer reporting Peter Mooney and Scott Van Slyke are not at @MarlinsPark today but Yadiel Rivera and @trevrchrds are, suggesting the former are out and the latter are in. If so, Richards could be making his MLB debut sometime next week. #JuntosMiami

The @Marlins have assigned Brian Ellington to Triple A New Orleans. Right now, the Marlins farm system is currently ranked at 19 going into the 2018 season. The system was ranked 29 last season!!!!!! #Re2pectTheProcess #GoMarlins
