Manager Don Mattingly said Worley will likely head to the bullpen once Jeff Locke (shoulder) is activated from the DL, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

It appears Locke will start in place of Worley on Thursday and take over for him in the rotation thereafter. Worley will likely assume a long-relief role in the bullpen with an opportunity to gain some starts if another spot opens up in the Marlins' rotation.
