Dugger (undisclosed) was reinstated from the injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger's lone appearance for the Marlins came in a start on July 26, when he gave up five runs (four earned) in 3.1 innings. He'll remain on the short list of potential rotation options for Miami, but with Sandy Alcantara due to return from the COVID-19 IL on Sunday and Sixto Sanchez and Elieser Hernandez seemingly solidifying rotation spots with their strong performances so far this season, Dugger will likely work out of the bullpen now that he's healthy again.

Dugger allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out two across 3.1 innings on Sunday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Dugger experienced most of his struggles in the first inning, allowing the first two batters he faced to reach base prior to a three-run homer to Bryce Harper. He allowed another run in the opening frame, but went on to retire seven of the last nine batters he faced. While he was roughed up in the start, Dugger may have the chance to stick in the rotation after Jose Urena tested positive for coronavirus.

Dugger will start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jose Urena was scratched after testing positive for coronavirus, so Dugger will step into the mix. He had been poised to serve as a long reliever initially this season but was stretched out as a starter in camp. If Urena is forced to miss multiple outings, Dugger could stick in the rotation, especially if he holds his own in this spot start.

Dugger tossed four shutout innings in Monday's intrasquad game, allowing two hits and striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old right-hander remains in the mix for the Marlins' No. 5 spot in the rotation, but Dugger is more likely to wind up in long relief. While he posted strong numbers at Double-A in 2019, his efforts at Triple-A and in the majors (combined 6.88 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 87.2 innings) left a lot to be desired.

Duggar remains in the mix for a spot at the back of the Marlins' rotation, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old is facing competition from Jordan Yamamoto, Elieser Hernandez and Nick Neidert for the No. 5 starter role. Duggar wasn't pitching himself out of the equation when MLB was put on pause, posting a 0.00 ERA through 9.2 spring innings and sitting 94-95 mph with his fastball, but his 7:4 K:BB was less impressive and he'd gotten the start in only one of his four Grapefruit League appearances. He seems a more likely candidate to begin the regular season at Triple-A Wichita.

Dugger (0-4) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on six hits and two walks over two innings in a 10-3 rout by the Mets. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
A three-run shot by Pete Alonso in the second inning was the big blow, but Dugger wasn't sharp right from the jump, walking Brandon Nimmo to lead off the bottom of the first inning and get the Mets offense rolling. The 24-year-old rookie wraps up his first exposure to the big leagues with a 5.77 ERA and 25:17 K:BB through 34.1 innings.
