The Marlins intend to start pitcher Tom Koehler in a minor-league game Wednesday, with Brad Hand pitching one inning of relief. It could be a strong indication the Marlins plan to choose Koehler over Hand for the final spot in the team's rotation, per The Palm Beach Post.
“We want (Koehler) to stay on his day,” manager Mike Redmond said
Redmond added the team is getting closer to setting its rotation.
"We’re close (but) pitching always goes down to the last couple of days," he said. "There’s going to be some tough decisions out there and we have guys battling. I think we feel pretty good."
