Hit hard in short outing 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.
Impact 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.

Scratched from Sunday's start Urena was a late scratch from Sunday's scheduled start against the Phillies, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
Impact There is no reason being given for why Urena was scratched and no roster moves, so he is presumably day-to-day. Robert Dugger will get the start instead. Manager Don Mattingly is not doing a pre-game interview, so we may have to wait until after Sunday's game to learn the reason for Urena's absence.

Strong outing Monday Dugger tossed four shutout innings in Monday's intrasquad game, allowing two hits and striking out two.
Impact 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.
