Struggles again Yamamoto allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across 3.1 innings Wednesday against the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Yamamoto was given an early eight-run cushion, but couldn't work deep enough into the game to qualify for a chance at the win. He worked two scoreless frames, but was then derailed by a pair of two-run home runs. The result was a short outing, and he failed to work efficiently by racking up 75 pitches in order to retire just 10 batters. It's unclear if he will get another turn through the rotation, pending the status of the Sandy Alcantara (illness), Caleb Smith (undisclosed), Jose Urena (illness) and Robert Dugger (undisclosed).

Getting another start Yamamoto is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays in Buffalo.
Impact The Marlins have yet to bring back any of their missing four starters (Sandy Alcantara, Caleb Smith, Jose Urena and Robert Dugger) from the 10-day injured list or COVID-19 injured list, so Yamamoto will pick up a second turn through the rotation after making his season debut last week in Baltimore. He was pulled after four innings and 66 pitches in that start, giving up four runs on six hits and no walks while striking out four.

Impact Yamamoto didn't last long in his season debut, but he didn't factor into the decision since Baltimore's starting pitcher, Wade LeBlanc, also endured his fair share of struggles. It remains to be seen whether Yamamoto will be able to make another start due to the team's fluid situation amid their COVID-19 outbreak.

Starting Thursday Yamamoto will start Thursday's game against the Orioles, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The 24-year-old was recalled by the Marlins on Tuesday, and it unsurprisingly won't take long before he enters the starting rotation with the team missing a plethora of players after the COVID-19 outbreak. Yamamoto had a 4.46 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 82:36 K:BB in 15 starts as a rookie last season and will now have a chance to showcase himself in 2020.

Likely to serve as No. 5 starter Hernandez will likely begin the season as the Marlins' No. 5 starter, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hernandez was competing for the fifth rotation spot with Jordan Yamamoto during camp, but Yamamoto was transferred to the team's alternate training site Friday. The 25-year-old Hernandez has made 53 appearances (21 starts) in the majors over the past two seasons, posting a 5.11 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 148 innings.

Still likely No. 5 starter Yamamoto remains the most likely candidate to be the Marlins' No. 5 starter, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Don Mattingly confirmed Monday that the club plans to use a traditional five-man rotation rather than get too creative with its pitching staff, and Yamamoto appears poised to slot in behind Sandy Alcantara, Jose Urena, Caleb Smith and Pablo Lopez. The 24-year-old right-hander could find himself on a restricted pitch count, however, as Mattingly suggested the team is considering a "piggyback" arrangement at the back of the rotation -- a move that would limit Yamamoto's already questionable fantasy value.
