MIAMI — Miami Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria jogged for the first time since straining his left hamstring last Wednesday in Atlanta but remains unavailable.

Hechavarria, who was initially listed as day-to-day trying to run out a bunt single, told FOXSportsFlorida.com at the beginning of the current homestand it would likely keep him out five to six games.

"He jogged a little today, and that’s the beginning of the test," manager Dan Jennings said. "He has not tested it in terms of opening up and running. Probably another day or two away from doing that to see where exactly it is."

The 26-year-old Gold Glove finalist was the lone member of the Opening Day lineup to stay away from injury or demotion. Over the previous two seasons from 2013-14 as a member of the Marlins, he has averaged 147 games.

In 130 contests in 2015, he is batting .281 with 17 doubles, six triples, five homers and 48 RBI. His average ranks fourth overall (second in the National League) among qualified shortstops. His ultimate zone rating (14.1), per FanGraphs, is the second best of any NL position player.

"Oh, I think he’ll be back, yeah," Jennings said. "We just don’t want to put him out there before he’s ready and he potentially does tear it and he’s lost for the year. It’ll be a process. He did test it a little bit today jogging and (there was) some improvement, but not ready to open up yet."

ROSTER MOVES

The Marlins recalled right-hander Scott McGough and claimed first baseman/left fielder Tommy Medica off waivers from San Diego prior to Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

After a rough major-league debut Aug. 20, when he allowed three runs on five hits over 2/3 inning, McGough tossed consecutive scoreless outings spanning three frames before being sent down to the Zephyrs.

The 25-year-old righty was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Nathan Eovaldi-Hanley Ramirez deal in 2012. He underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the 2014 season. In 2015 between Single-A Jupiter, Double-A Jacksonville and Triple-A New Orleans, McGough posted an 0-1 record and 2.41 ERA in 27 appearances.

With the minor-league season over, Medica will not report. The 27-year-old has a. 246 average with 13 doubles, two triples, 12 homers and 37 RBI in 121 big-leagues games from 2013-14. In 424 minor-league contests, he has hit .282 with 115 doubles, 12 triples, 57 dingers and 262 RBI in parts of six seasons.

Miami also transferred Opening Day starter Henderson Alvarez to the 60-day disabled list. He underwent shoulder surgery in late July. The 25-year-old made just four starts this season.

FRONT OFFICE

Miami named Marc DelPiano its vice president of player development.

DelPiano, who most recently served as special assistant to the general manager with the Pittsburgh Pirates, was the director of player development from 2003-04 with the Marlins. He also held the position of director of international scouting in 2005.

He had been with the Pirates organization since 2009 following three years with the Boston Red Sox as a special assignment scout. He was an area scout for the Montreal Expos from 1996-2000 and East Coast scouting supervisor in 2001 before joining the Marlins in 2002 as a cross checker.

A former Broward Community College and University of Tennessee ballplayer, DelPiano signed as a non-drafted free agent infielder with the Cleveland Indians in 1989. After two seasons in the Indians and Houston Astros organizations, he became an area scout and minor-league coach with the Texas Rangers organization in 1991.
