Koehler (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Wednesday and optioned to Triple-A New Orleans, Joe Capozzi of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Koehler showed no ill effects from the sore shoulder over two rehab starts with New Orleans, during which he covered seven innings and gave up four runs while striking out 13 batters. While the Marlins rotation is lacking in quality depth, it doesn't appear Koehler is viewed as a solution to the team's starting pitching woes after he posted a 7.04 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 38.1 innings with the big club prior to landing on the DL. Vance Worley is expected to stick around as the Marlins' fifth starter for the time being.
