Conley will be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to start against the Reds on Saturday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. Conley has impressed in 15 starts at New Orleans this season, posting a 2.33 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 62 strikeouts over 89 innings. The young southpaw struggles a bit with command, however, issuing 34 free passes over the same amount of frames. His start will likely be of the spot variety with the All-Star break on deck.

Conley was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday. The Marlins weren't going to keep Conley in the bullpen for long if they saw him as a long-term starter, so this shouldn't be too much of a shock. Conley will return to New Orleans where he had been pitching decently well and wait for the Marlins to need him in a larger role. Check back Friday to see what the Marlins' corresponding move is.

The Marlins recalled Conley from Triple-A New Orleans on Monday to replace the injured Bryan Morris. In 10 starts for Triple-A New Orleans, Conley went 5-2 with a 3.05 ERA and a 44:23 K:BB ratio in 59 innings, but he will likely step into the bullpen for the big club. The former second-round pick still projects as a starter down the road, but he figures to work in middle-to-long relief for now.

Conley was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. Conley gave up four runs (two earned) during his only Grapefruit League appearance and will head back to Triple-A to start the year. Though he'll likely continue to work as a starter on the farm, Conley's future in the major leagues will likely be as a bullpen piece.
