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.

EDGE Analysis

With Locke nearing activation from the disabled list, it appears he will start in place of Worley on Thursday and take over for him in the rotation thereafter. He'll likely assume a long relief role in the bullpen with an opportunity at starts should another spot open up in the Marlins' rotation.
