Conley (finger) is scheduled to throw 45 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season, Conley simply doesn't have time to build his pitch count up enough to return to the rotation, but he appears on track to contribute out of the Marlins' bullpen before the end of the year. Conley said he thinks "the biggest thing is just to eliminate any doubt or question mark with the health of my hand." Conley posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 122:61 K:BB in 24 starts before hitting the DL and should compete for a rotation spot in spring training.
