JoeFrisaro: #Marlins Fredi hinted that a position player would replace Petersen. Doubtful that it's Stanton. Maybe Mike Lamb or a lefty bat

My guess is Tank or Sinkbeil

[MiamiHomer]

Mike Lamb is no position player. He is a boat load of crap!

[Miamarlin21]

I would say Lamb but he's no longer on the 40.

I highly doubt it's Tank and even least likely it's Sink

[Bobbob1313]

I'd like Tank to get called up, actually.

Super longshot is Logan.

Where is Ramp when you need him to pull some strings!

[LocoMarlinFan]

If its going to be a position player then its likely boner

I'm working on it, trying to find out. New Orleans' game was rained out so I couldn't tell by the box score since there was none.

I'm gonna try and send some texts and find out.

The #Marlins are NOT calling up Mike Stanton to replace OF Bryan Petersen, who was optioned to NOLA.

Bryan Petersen, who has seen limited playing time, was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans after the Marlins' 7-3 loss to the Braves on Wednesday night.

The team didn't announce who would get brought up. Manager Fredi Gonzalez hinted that it would be a position player. At this point it is not expected to be slugger Mike Stanton, who his tearing up Double-A.

A possibility is speedster Emilio Bonifacio, who is at Triple-A New Orleans. Bonifacio is on the 40-man roster. Mike Lamb, a left-handed hitter who made the Opening Day roster, also is at Triple-A. But Lamb is not on the 40-man roster.

Stanton also isn't on the 40-man roster.

Bonifacio is batting .289 with a .361 on-base percentage. He is a switch-hitter, who can play infield and outfield.

Petersen was 1-for-16 with the Marlins, with his lone hit coming in his first MLB at-bat.

"He's a young player, sitting on the bench, and pinch-hitting every once a game, that's not what you want to have with a young player," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez joked afterwards when asked if the initials of the player being called up is M.S, "You mean Mike Schmidt."

Emilio solves nothing for us!
