66 Jarlin Garcia RP

Garcia was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Garcia has appeared in 12 games (six starts) for the Marlins this year, logging a 4.41 ERA and 1.22 WHIP to go along with a pedestrian 32:21 K:BB across 51 innings. It's unclear as to whether he will get another crack in the rotation in the near future. It look like he's set to join Miami's bullpen initially upon arrival.

Garcia was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Garcia will be sent down to the minors to fine tune his mechanics after his recent ugly stretch of relief appearances. Garcia posted a brilliant 1.09 ERA over his first 33 innings this season but has been bludgeoned to the tune of a 10.50 ERA over his last 18 innings. Drew Rucinski has been called up to take his place in the bullpen.

Garcia is expected to transition to the bullpen, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Though there hasn't been anything official announced from the club at this point, it seems as though Garcia will move to a relief role following a pair of rough outings. In his place, Elieser Hernandez will enter the rotation and get a start Wednesday against the Dodgers. Over eight appearances this year -- including six starts -- Garcia has posted a 3.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with a 30:17 K:BB across 43 innings.

Garcia didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's loss to the Braves, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks over six innings while striking out four.

Three of the seven hits off the left-hander were homers, including two by Freddie Freeman, but he avoided the loss thanks to a fifth-inning rally that briefly gave Miami a 5-4 lead. Garcia's 3.14 ERA on the season isn't supported by his mediocre 30:17 K:BB through 43 innings, and his 1.7 HR/9 makes him a volatile fantasy option heading into a rematch with the Braves in Atlanta on Friday.

Garcia (1-1) allowed seven runs on six hits and two walks across four innings while taking the loss Monday against the Cubs. He struck out three.

Garcia was touched for some detrimental long balls in this one, including two-run home runs in the first and fourth inning, with ta three-run blast sandwiched in between. While it was a difficult matchup, this poor outing came out of nowhere for Garcia, who'd allowed just four earned runs through 33 innings heading into play. He'll face a tough matchup as he tries to bounce back Saturday against the Braves.
