Detwiler is slated to start Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, serving as the opening pitcher for what's expected to be a bullpen game, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miami initially listed Pablo Lopez as its probable starter for Wednesday, but he'll be pushed back to Thursday's series finale in what amounts to an extra day of maintenance, according to Mish. Miami doesn't have a clear pitcher in its bullpen that's capable of serving as a bulk reliever, so neither Detwiler nor any of the arms that follow him are expected to cover more than three innings.

Detwiler pitched a scoreless first inning Sunday against the Giants. He did not allow a hit while walking and striking out a batter in 16 pitches.
EDGE Analysis
Detwiler was used as an opener Sunday ahead of Paul Campbell. The 35-year-old issued a leadoff walk to Austin Slater but was able to get the next three hitters out to escape without any damage done. Detwiler has been a pleasant surprise this season, as he's fired 8.1 scoreless innings and owns a 10:5 K:BB thus far.

Detwiler is listed as the Marlins' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Detwiler has previously made 95 big-league starts, but he's worked exclusively as a reliever since the start of the 2020 season. Considering that he's maxed out at 1.2 innings and 30 pitches over his nine relief appearances on the season, Detwiler will most likely be working as an opener in front of Rule 5 pick Paul Campbell, whom the Marlins initially planned to start Sunday.

Detwiler gave up a hit and a walk while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning during Friday's loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lefty can't fill a LOOGY role any more due to MLB's new bullpen rules, but Detwiler has still been deployed in short stints, recording fewer than three outs in five of his nine appearances. His 1.23 ERA through 7.1 innings is solid, but a 9:4 K:BB indicates he's had a bit of good luck, and his low-leverage usage has left him without a hold. save or decision so far.

Detwiler is expected to begin the season in the Marlins' bullpen, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw has had a shaky spring, posting a 6.75 ERA and 5:3 K:BB over 6.2 innings, but the Marlins are giving more weight to his solid 3.20 ERA and 1.22 WHIP from 2020 when he was used exclusively in relief. Detwiler's career track record is spotty at best, and he will likely be limited to low-leverage situations.

Detwiler signed a one-year contract with the Marlins on Friday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Detwiler was designated for assignment by the White Sox in late September and elected free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The southpaw tossed 19.2 relief innings in 2020, posting a 3.20 ERA and 1.22 WHIP during the abbreviated season. Detwiler will attempt to maintain his production over a full year heading into his age-35 season.

Detwiler elected free agency Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Detwiler chose free agency after being designated for assignment Thursday. He was fairly effective in 19.2 innings of relief this season, posting a 3.20 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, which could keep him on a big-league roster next season for his 13th season in the league.

Detwiler was designated for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox activated a pair of hurlers (Carlos Rodon, Aaron Bummer) from the 45-day injured list and needed to clear a couple 40-man roster spots in the process. Detwiler had given up seven earned runs in 7.1 innings over his last seven appearances.

Detwiler struck out two over a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Detwiler continued his scoreless season. He's allowed four hits and no walks while striking out nine over 11.1 innings. The 34-year-old Detwiler has been primarily a starter during his career, but he's thriving out of the bullpen in 2020, although a .148 BABIP suggests there's correction coming.

Detwiler is a candidate for the rotation if Carlos Rodon's shoulder injury forces him to miss time, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Detwiler was one of six relievers to fill in Monday after Rodon left with shoulder soreness. He allowed one hit and struck out three over 1.1 scoreless innings and earned his first victory of the season. The left-hander's been strong for the White Sox through 8.1 scoreless innings of relief, ceding two hits and no walks. If Rodon hits the injured list, Detwiler, who's been a starter throughout his career, is a logical choice to fill in. In 12 starts for the White Sox in 2019, Detwiler posted a 5.84 ERA, but he looks like a different pitcher in 2020.
