Loose change hurts Nate Eovaldi
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (3/31/2013) Up until Saturday morning, pitcher Nate Eovaldi was preparing to enter his first full season with the Marlins as the No. 2 starter in the team's revamped rotation. But a minor issue surrounding the right-hander's shoulder prompted further examination and an MRI exam revealed inflammation that sent him to the disabled list Sunday.
"He didn’t have any pain, he just had trouble getting loose," Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said.
Eovaldi, who was joined on the DL by rotation-mate Henderson Alvarez, is expected to resume throwing next week but could miss at least a month of playing time.
Nate Eovaldi starts season on DL

Miami president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said he hopes the issues are "no more than a month thing." The team purchased the contract of Jose Fernandez from Class A Jupiter and recalled Alex Sanabia from Triple-A New Orleans to fill the spots in the rotation.
Marlins' rotation a Fantasy nightmare
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (3/26/2013) The Marlins announced their rotation plans Tuesday for the start of the season. The team's rotation will be Ricky Nolasco, Nate Eovaldi, Wade LeBlanc, Henderson Alvarez and Kevin Slowey. We know -- you can hardly temper your excitement.
As we wait for the day Marlins super prospect Jose Fernandez is promoted to the majors, as of now the pickings are slim for Fantasy owners. Nolasco is really the only mixed-league viable starter on Draft Day. I see sleeper potential in pitchers like Eovaldi and LeBlanc, but it's still best to view everyone outside of Nolasco as NL-only Fantasy options at the outset of the season. I can see certain scenarios where some of these arms might come into play in mixed-league drafts, but they have to be pretty deep formats.
Kevin Slowey makes Marlins rotation
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (3/26/2013) Marlins starter Kevin Slowey has been named the No. 5 starter to begin the season, reports MLB.com Tuesday. Miami optioned Jacob Turner to Triple-A due to poor performance to open the rotation spot.

Eovaldi makes good impression
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer (2/27/2013) Right-hander Nate Eovaldi, who is competing for a spot in Marlins rotation, got off to a good start Wednesday in his spring debut at the Nationals. He pitched two hitless innings, issuing one walk and recording three strikeouts. While he didn't throw any curveballs in his 26 pitches, Eovaldi did work in a few changeup, which is something he has been working on this spring to help compliment his two best pitches -- the fastball and slider. "I need to be able to use that pitch more, slow everything down and get [the batters] out on that front foot," Eovaldi said. "I threw a few first-pitch changeups and they felt good coming out of the hand."
