Jay, you've been calling for extra rehab starts for basically every pitcher all season.

Jay, you've been calling for extra rehab starts for basically every pitcher all season.

I thought Latos had 1 for a knee problems and he looked awful. They're talking about 3 for Cosart who's injury was vertigo. Not that it's not serious but he's been pitching fine and his arm strength is there.

Doesn't deserve it's own thread but how has Don Kelly not started a rehab assignment yet? Didn't he have an identical injury as Mathis.

who cares

who cares

People who see Dietrich being sent down if he's ready before Morse.

--INF/OF Don Kelly (fractured right ring finger) went on the 15-day disabled list April 13. Kelly did not need surgery, but the timetable for his return is uncertain.

Cosart to be activated Thursday and will join the bullpen. Haren will start Thursday followed by Nicolino Friday, Koehler Saturday and TBA Sunday (Urena's spot.)

Cosart isn't very good.

He was optioned to AAA after the start last night, to make room for Michael Morse coming off the DL.

So Cosart, has a legit disorder:

MIAMI -- After undergoing a series of medical tests, Jarred Cosart has been diagnosed with a right inner-ear disorder that has affected his balance. The 25-year-old right-hander, who opened the season in the Marlins' rotation, is seeing a specialist this week in Chicago to further evaluate his condition.

Cosart went on the disabled list in May due to vertigo, and he had a relapse during a July 17 start while he was pitching for Triple-A New Orleans.
The inner-ear disorder is causing a nerve on his right side to be less response than his left side. The impacted nerve, Cosart says, affects "balance and gravity."
Being able to pinpoint the issue has been a relief for the Texas native, who is confident his recovery shouldn't be a long process.
Currently on the Minor League disabled list, Cosart is taking medications, and he's been throwing in recent days. He says he, "feels great."
Doctors believe Cosart has been dealing with the condition all season.
After seeing the specialist in Chicago, Cosart will have a better idea of when he may return to game action. Foremost, he is striving to get "back to normal."
It's been a rough year for Cosart, who dealt with a blister in Spring Training, and opened the season as Miami's fifth starter. But on May 19, he went on the disabled list with vertigo, and returned on June 25.
On the mound, he's never settled into a rhythm. In nine games (eight starts), Cosart is 1-4 with a 5.36 ERA.
Cosart still projects to be part of Miami's rotation in the future. The club this week traded veteran right-handers Mat Latos to the Dodgers and Dan Haren to the Cubs.
Once Cosart gets healthy and he shows improvement on the mound, he could be an option to start for the Marlins later this month or in September.
"We need him to come back healthy and ready," manager Dan Jennings said. "Glad they were able to identify the problem."

This season's numbers can basically be taken with a grain of salt then.

He's probably still not gonna be good, but if he's been dealing with this all year...

[Mainge]

Some hope yet then.

Losing service time sitting on the minor league DL. I guess there's at least a legitimate claim that the Marlins didn't know about the condition or that he would relapse.

Not sure he is losing, or will lose, enough time to change his clock though.
