Kevin Slowey will return to the Marlins' starting rotation on Monday night against the Braves. Ricky Nolasco was traded to the Dodgers on Saturday, so Slowey slides right back into a familiar role for the Fish. The veteran right-hander has posted 4.24 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 69/17 K/BB ratio over 85 innings between the rotation and bullpen this season. He's not a great fantasy option.

The Marlins have demoted Kevin Slowey to the bullpen. Slowey is clearing the way for the return of Nathan Eovaldi to the rotation. "Slowey's going to be kind of that swing man, that long guy, to come in and throw multiple innings," said manager Mike Redmond. "That'll be how it goes now for a while." Slowey got off to a great start this season but has posted a 7.08 ERA over his last seven appearances. Tom Koehler will remain in the rotation for now, but Henderson Alvarez is due back soon.

Kevin Slowey allowed six runs -- five earned -- in five innings to take the loss against the Brewers on Wednesday. Of the nine hits Slowey gave up, two were triples and one was a home run, accounting for four of the six runs allowed. On the plus side, he did strike out six while walking none. The loss moved him to 2-6 on the season. He'll start in Arizona on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Kevin Slowey will make his next start on Wednesday. Slowey was supposed to start Sunday but wound up getting a win after pitching seven shutout innings in relief during Saturday's 20-inning contest. He'll be starting on short rest against the Brewers.

Kevin Slowey allowed four runs on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Rays. He struck out four. Despite the pretty uninspiring effort, Slowey left in line for the win. Unfortunately, Ryan Webb allowed both of Slowey's inherited runners to score, saddling the starter with a no-decision. The good news is that Slowey's left lat, which forced him from his last start, didn't appear to be an issue. He'll get the Mets this weekend.

Kevin Slowey (lat) said he's a "go" for his scheduled start Tuesday after completing a bullpen session Saturday with no issues. Slowey had to leave his last outing with a left lat strain, but it was obviously very minor. He boasts a 3.30 ERA and 1.22 WHIP this season and isn't a bad streaming option Tuesday in Tampa.

Kevin Slowey left Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with a left lat strain. The Marlins are calling him day-to-day, so it's evidently a minor strain. Still, he'll likely be re-evaluated on Thursday before it's determined whether he can make his next start. Slowey was pitching well Wednesday before getting hurt, tossing five innings of one-run ball on six hits and no walks while recording six strikeouts.

Kevin Slowey had to leave Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with an apparent injury. Slowey was warming up before the top of the sixth before manager Mike Redmond and the trainer visited him on the mound. After a brief discussion, the righty exited the field. It's not clear at this point what ailment he's dealing with. Slowey allowed just one run over five frames before exiting.

Kevin Slowey was knocked around in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks, surrendering six runs on seven hits in only three innings of work. Slowey walked one and struck out one in the brief outing. His undoing on this evening was his inability to keep the ball in the yard, as he allowed three home runs, including a pair of two-run shots to Paul Goldschmidt. Despite his 1-4 record, Slowey has actually pitched very well for the Marlins this season, posting a 3.44 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 37/12 K/BB ratio over his first 52 1/3 innings. He'll attempt to get back on track when he takes on the Phillies at home on Wednesday.

Kevin Slowey was handed a loss after giving up five runs in 4 2/3 innings against the Dodgers on Friday. Slowey allowed 11 hits, walked three and struck out none tonight, so his fantasy owners should be counting their lucky stars that he gave up just the five runs. He's a better play in fantasy leagues when the Marlins are at home.
