Ken Rosenthal reports that the Miami Marlins are sending starter Colin Rea back to the San Diego Padres.
Rea was dealt to the Marlins as a part of the seven-player trade which involved him and Andrew Cashner as the primary pieces. Rea left in the fourth inning of his first start with the Marlins, however, suffering elbow problems. He was subsequently placed on the disabled list with a sprained elbow. He said he felt pain while warming up before the game.
Jeff Passan says the Marlins are “livid” about Rea’s injury and they believe they were dealt damaged goods by San Diego. Obviously, if Rea is going back west, someone -- or at least a bunch of cash -- will be headed back to Miami to undo that part of the deal.
UPDATE: Here’s what’s coming back:
