Marlins optioned RHP Rick VandenHurk to Double-A Carolina.  It took just two sloppy starts for VandenHurk to lose his spot, not that he was any good in spring training while winning it. Ricky Nolasco will be moved up to start in his place on Friday, but the Marlins will still need a fifth starter for next Sunday’s game. They could turn to Chris Volstad or Burke Badenhop. 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. (Rotoworld, CBS Sports)
