Dan Uggla hit a solo shot off the Padre’s Kevin Correia to become the all-time home run leader in Florida Marlins history. The home run, 144th in Uggla‘s career (all as a Marlin), passes Mike Lowell who set the previous mark in 2005.

The Marlins have traded Jorge Cantu to the Texas Rangers for AA right-handed pitchers Evan Reed and Omar Poveda. The trade was approved by MLB just minutes before the Marlins wrapped up a 5-0 win against the San Francisco Giants. The Marlins also sent cash to Texas to offset some or all of the $2MM remaining on Cantu‘s salary for this season.
While Poveda is on the 60-day DL following Tommy John Surgery, Reed has pitched 39 innings in AA and has 34 strikeouts with 13 walks. Not clear if he is ready to move up to the Majors where the Marlins desperately need bullpen relief.
For now, the Marlins will call up Hector Luna from AAA to backup Wes Helms and Donny Murphy. When Chris Coghlan returns from the DL, he will take over the starting 3B spot.

With Chris Coghlan on the DL, Logan Morrison in the majors and Jorge Cantu on the trading block, Edwin Rodriguez is debuting a new lineup for tonight’s match up in San Francisco.
1. Hanley Ramirez, SS
2. Logan Morrison, LF
3. Gaby Sanchez, 1B
4. Dan Uggla, 2B
5. Wes Helms, 3B
6. Cody Ross, CF
7. Mike Stanton, RF
8. Ronny Paulino, C
9. Josh Johnson, P
Not sure how long this lineup lasts and whether it makes a difference but certainly a different look for the Fish.

After a series of bad starts, including a 10-0 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday, the Marlins designated Nate Robertson for assignment. Jorge Sosa was recalled to take his spot in the lineup. No word on who will assume the spot in the rotation. Also, Brett Hayes was put on the 15-day DL and catcher Brad Davis was selected from New Orleans.

Despite a turbulent month, where the Marlins lost both their manager and significant ground in the NL East, Josh Johnson was named the NL Pitcher of the Month and Gaby Sanchez was named the NL Rookie of the Month. Congrats to both on well deserved awards.
