Marlins starting pitcher Nate Eovaldi was able to play catch without any apparently discomfort Saturday, and will attempt to throw a bullpen session Sunday. Eovaldi was scratched from his most recent start with a back injury.
"Eovaldi came in much better," manager Mike Redmond told MLB.com. "He is getting better each day."
Assuming Eovaldi continues to progress well, the team is targeting a possible return for Wednesday against the Phillies, in the series finale. The Marlins have yet to announce their starter for Wednesday, leaving that spot open for Eovaldi if he avoids a setback.
