The Miami Marlins have made several roster adjustments due to injuries and performance management. Jake Burger has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to an oblique injury. Concurrently, the Marlins are activating Edward Cabrera, who is set to make his season debut and has already achieved 10 strikeouts. In a related move, Max Meyer, despite a strong start to the season with a 2.12 ERA over 17 innings, is being sent down to Triple-A to manage his innings following his recovery from Tommy John surgery. These changes come as the Marlins struggle early in the season with a record of 3-13, including a 2-1 record in games started by Meyer and 1-12 in other games.
#Marlins pitchers to complete six innings this season: -Max Meyer (twice) -Edward Cabrera End of list. Cabrera has 10 strikeouts and has given up just one run on five hits and a walk. At 91 pitches, he's likely done for today. Miami is up 3-1 on San Francisco, mid-6.

The Marlins are sending Max Meyer down to Triple-A to make room for Edward Cabrera who is returning from injury. Meyer has been one of the only bright spots for Miami this season, posting a 2.12 ERA in 17 innings across his first 3 starts. https://t.co/Rd08UXl5hz
Can confirm, as @CDeNicola13 just noted, that Max Meyer, who has been Marlins' best pitcher this season (2.12 ERA) and one of very few bright spots, is being sent to the minors so Miami can monitor his innings in his first full year back from Tommy John. Cabrera rejoins rotation.
Source: #Marlins No. 3 prospect Max Meyer will be optioned as the corresponding move for Edward Cabrera’s return. Been club’s most consistent starter but his workload and innings were always going to be monitored coming back from Tommy John surgery.

Report: Marlins placing Burger on IL with oblique injury https://t.co/z1qFyeIm4E
Jake Burger is being placed on the IL with a 10-day IL with an oblique injury, per @CraigMish. A brutal blow for the 3-13 Marlins https://t.co/JBj1sR0WkD
Left oblique discomfort for #Marlins’ Jake Burger
I like Max Meyer’s quick tempo. His willingness to attack the zone, and he has a good mound presence. Not sure how sustainable throwing 54 % sliders is. For the season he averages about 46%. But that’s where the game is. For now, enjoy the ride #Marlins @ManOn2nd https://t.co/c4uvpretCl
Max Meyer was nearly unhittable for the Marlins today! 6 IP 6 H 1 R 0 BB 7 K 23 (!) whiffs His 23 whiffs ties Nathan Eovaldi for most in a start this season! https://t.co/y0M8lmhFH9
