The Marlins optioned pitcher Anthony DeSclafani to Triple-A New Orleans Wednesday, one day after he struggled in his second career start. A corresponding move is set to come Thursday.
DeSclafani pitched twice in Jose Fernandez's place after the latter's elbow injury, but had little experience above Class A before his callup, so this isn't much of a surprise. He allowed seven runs in 11 1/3 innings of work, and will be replaced in the rotation by veteran Randy Wolf.
