Say Goodbye To: Rick VandenHurk
The Marlins sent down SP Rick VandenHurk to Double-A Carolina on Sunday, after he lasted only 2 1/3 innings in Florida’s 9-2 loss to the Pirates. He allowed four runs and five hits, struck out four, walked two and hit Nyjer Morgan with a pitch.
VandenHurk failed to get past the fourth inning in his first two starts this season, which isn’t exactly what manager Fredi Gonzalez was looking for from the Dutchman. With the way the Marlins pitching staff likes to get hurt, VandenHurk could be back up sooner rather than later, but he shouldn’t be held onto in any format. (CBS Sports)
