Rea left Saturday's game in the fourth inning with an apparent injury, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't obvious what was ailing Rea, but he signaled to the dugout after striking out Jedd Gyorko to start the fourth and promptly left the game. He was replaced on the mound by David Phelps. Rea was making his first start Miami after coming over from San Diego in a trade the day before.

Rea will start Saturday against the Cardinals, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from San Diego on Friday along with Andrew Cashner and Tayron Guerrero, Rea will slot into the rotation right away, starting opposite Jaime Garcia in Game 3 of the Cardinals series. Rea has seen an uptick in walks and a reduction in strikeout rate this year, resulting in lackluster numbers overall, but he's an upgrade over the likes of Jose Urena and Justin Nicolino at the back of the rotation. That said, he could move to the bullpen late in the year if the Marlins decide they need to limit his innings.

The trade that sends Rea, Andrew Cashner, and Tayron Guerrero to the Marlins in exchange for Jarred Cosart, Josh Naylor, Carter Capps, and Luis Castillo is now official, MLB Network Insider Jon Heyman reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rea's career numbers in the majors -- a 4.81 ERA and 1.41 WHIP -- don't stand out, but he provides the Marlins another starting pitching option down the stretch, and does have 24 big league starts under his belt. The Marlins have not announced how their rotation will look now that Rea and Cashner are on board, but it seems likely that Rea will grab one of the five spots so that the team can immediately take a look at how he fares in that role in his new surroundings.

Rea is expected to be traded to the Marlins on Friday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The final details of the deal are still being worked out, but the Padres and Marlins are set to make a trade that will send Rea and fellow starting pitcher Andrew Cashner to Miami. Full details of the trade should become available shortly.

Rea (5-5) took the loss on Monday, allowing three runs over six innings against the Blue Jays. He allowed five hits, walked four and struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Monday's start lowered Rea's ERA back below 5.00. The righty has had struggles with control of late, walking 10 and striking out 10 over his last three starts. For the season Rea carries a 4.98 ERA and 1.46 WHIP. He'll take the ball on Sunday against the Reds.

Rea (5-4) threw six innings and allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while punching out two and getting a loss in the first game of a doubleheader against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rea was originally slated to pitch Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, which was rained out, lining him up for the day game Wednesday. The long ball was Rea's downfall Wednesday, allowing homers in the second, fourth, and sixth innings. He managed to get through six innings and keep the game close, but the Padres were unable to muster much offense against Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez. Rea hasn't exactly been dominant this year, with a 5.01 ERA and just 72 strikeouts to 40 walks.

Rea will start Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals after Tuesday's game was postponed, the San Diego Union-Tribune's Dennis Lin reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will receive an extra day of rest following Tuesday's postponement, and will face Cardinals starter Carlos Martinez in his 17th start of the season. Paul Clemens will start Game 2 of the doubleheader for the Padres, with Andrew Cashner taking the ball Thursday.

Rea (4-3) gave up three hits, four runs (one earned) and four walks over five innings in Friday's 13-4 victory over the Reds. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

Rea was spotted a 3-0 lead following the top of the third, before blowing it in the bottom half of the frame by surrendering four runs that were admittedly aided by a pair of errors. The right-hander was actually effective otherwise, but the extended inning helped balloon his pitch count to 98 in just five frames, facilitating his relatively early exit. The victory was the 25-year-old's first since May 5, and the seven whiffs represented a season high in that category. He'll take on the Yankees in his next trip to the mound, which comes next Friday night.

Rea (3-3) pitched 6.1 quality innings, but did not factor in the decision, Saturday against the Nationals. He allowed two runs, four hits and two walks while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie right-hander turned in one of his best outings of his young career, but didn't get a boost of confidence when get got into a seventh-inning jam. With men on first and second, sitting on just 82 pitches, manager Andy Green pulled Rea and went to his bullpen. Understandably, Rea hasn't given the coach much to be optimistic about when weighing these decisions, but yanking Rea left something to be desired by his owners. The six strikeouts tied his career high and the four hits were just one off another personal best. He'll be back on the bump Friday at home against the Reds.

Rea was lit up for eight runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks as he lasted just 2.2 innings in a loss Monday to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Rea hasn't held an opponent to fewer than three runs since May 5 against the Mets (8 IP, 1 ER). He has just three quality starts in 12 sstarts all year. Rea has just a 48:27 K:BB in 65.1 innings this year, and the combination of a mediocre strikeout rate with constant baserunners (1.45 WHIP) is too much for him to to overcome and will lead to the occasional hit parade like he allowed Monday night.
