In addition to the 40 guys on the major league roster, the Miami Marlins have invited an additional 26 to Spring Training.

Continue to check back in throughout Spring Training as we update the rotation on each Tuesday. The rest of the schedule is as follows:

Monday – Starters

Tuesday – Outfielders

Wednesday – Bullpen

Thursday – Catchers

Friday – Infielders
