The 2016 Miami Marlins, currently 50-42 and in sole possession of the second Wild Card in the National League East, will have Jose Urena pitching for them tomorrow. Jose Urena has a 7.52 ERA in 20 1/3 major league innings and a 3.99 ERA in 38 1/3 Triple-A innings. Despite his somewhat decent Triple-A stats, Urena’s FIP sits at 5.44 for New Orleans, showing that he was luckier, but just as bad.

The Miami Marlins can make the playoffs this season, but they absolutely will not if guys like Justin Nicolino, Paul Clemens, and Jose Urena have to start every fifth day. In his innings with the Marlins this season, Urena has walked 10 batters and struck out only 12. That’s an awful 2.0 K-BB%.

By calling up Urena for tomorrow’s game, the Marlins are more or less committing to a bullpen game and hoping for an offensive outburst from the bats. One start from Urena won’t ruin the team’s chances at contention, but if they trot him out there every fifth day, the Marlins can forget about making a playoff run this season. With the trade deadline coming up on August 1st, the Marlins perhaps need to make a trade more than any other team in baseball.
