• Bryan Hoeing already seemed like the logical choice to be called up for Tuesday’s start. One of his hometown news organizations, The 812, reported that will be case. The Marlins must make a corresponding 40-man roster move before then.
• I provided the full play-by-play details for Dylan Floro’s “hidden no-hitter.” He recorded 27 consecutive outs between surrendering hits to Daniel Vogelbach (March 30) and José Ramírez (April 22). I had more to say about Floro and every other Marlins reliever on The Offishial Show.
