  • Thursday’s minor league scores: Triple-A Jacksonville lost, 6-5 (F/10); Double-A Pensacola lost, 13-9; High-A Beloit was postponed due to rain; Low-A Jupiter won, 9-5. Unremarkable performance for Edward Cabrera (4.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 0 HR), but I still believe his next start ought to come in the big leagues. Rough Marlins organizational debut for right-hander A.J. Ladwig out of the Pensacola bullpen (1.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HR). Holt Jones went six scoreless frames in his first-ever professional start.
  • The Marlins are getting reinforcements Richard Bleier and Joey Wendle back from the injured list. Nick Fortes was not among the players involved in Thursday’s roster moves, but Craig Mish of SportsGrid reports that he’ll be joining the team shortly, replacing Payton Henry as backup catcher.
