|
| Taylor Tankersley is slated to undergo surgery Friday to repair a stress fracture in his left elbow, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Tankersley may miss the entire 2009 campaign. He would not have held much fantasy value as a middle reliever if healthy.
|
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley has been optioned to Triple-A New Orleans, according to the Miami Herald. He struggled in spring action and said, "I have been trying to get back to my old self and I have not found it yet. The results do not help your confidence."
|
Our View: Tankersley would not have held much fantasy value if he made the Marlins as a middle reliever. He will now serve as organizational depth in the minors.
|
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley was rocked for six hits and six earned runs in Sunday's outing against the Mets. |
Our View: The 26-year-old has now allowed 11 earned runs in 5.1 innings this spring. He was trying to break the opening day roster but that is beginning to look like a long shot.
|
|
|
|
| The Marlins optioned Taylor Tankersley to Triple-A Albuquerque Thursday to make room on the roster for Anibal Sanchez. |
Our View: Tankersley has really struggled this year, holding a 8.15 ERA in 25 games.
|
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to Monday's game against the Mets, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He will be the corresponding move for Rick VandenHurk, who was optioned to Triple-A. |
Our View: Tankersley will work out of the bullpen until Anibel Sanchez is called up to start Thursday. He allowed 16 earned runs and 21 hits over 16.2 innings with Florida this season, and does not merit fantasy attention.
|
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley has been optioned back to Triple-A Albuquerque, according to MLB.com. The team called up 21-year-old top prospect Christopher Volstad from Double-A Carolina as an adjoining move. |
Our View: The reliever held no fantasy value with the Marlins prior to his demotion, as he allowed 16 earned runs, 21 hits, and eight walks over 16.2 innings.
|
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley was called back up on Wednesday after compiling a 1.98 ERA in 13.2 innings in the minors. |
Our View: Tankersley was awful at the start of the season but had a combined 3.46 ERA in 116 appearances over 2006 and 2007. The Marlins need another lefty in their bullpen and are no doubt hoping that Tankersley has returned to form.

|
|
| The Marlins have optioned LHP Taylor Tankersley to Triple-A Albuquerque, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: The team has been carrying 13 pitchers, and manager Fredi Gonzalez said a position player will be brought up before Wednesday's 1:10 p.m. ET game with the Braves at Turner Field.

|
| The Marlins recalled Taylor Tankersley from Triple-A Albuquerque Friday. Tankersley held a 6.65 ERA in 32 games with the Fish earlier this year. Erasmo Ramirez was sent to Albuquerque to make room on the roster. |
|
|
|
| The Marlins optioned Taylor Tankersley to Triple-A Albuquerque following Friday's game. "We just want to see the same Tank we saw last year," manager Fredi Gonzalez told the Miami Herald. "He's going to Triple-A and work on throwing strikes. I have all the confidence he can come back." Tankersley's ERA sits at 6.65 and his WHIP at 1.74, but he should be back with the Marlins if he can figure things out in the minors. |

|
| The Marlins activated Taylor Tankersley off the disabled list after last night's game, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He had been out with a sore pitching shoulder. |
|
|
|

|
|

|
| Taylor Tankersley pitched an inning for Single-A Jupiter on a rehab assignment Thursday and may be activated from the DL when the Marlins begin a trip next Friday, manager Fredi Gonzalez told the AP. Tankersley is recovering from shoulder tendinitis. |
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley allowed three runs in one messy inning at Single-A Thursday, which might be enough to push back his return date. Tankersley is eligible to come off the disabled list Saturday, but the Marlins will probably look for him to do more rehab work first. He's returning from a sore pitching shoulder. |
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley threw 25 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday, the Miami Herald reports. It's still not clear yet if Tankersley (shoulder) will be ready to come off the DL on schedule Saturday. "We're starting to close the gap on it," pitching coach Rick Kranitz said. "But I'd like to see him throw a little bit more. We've got to get him some more games." Tankersley is scheduled for a relief appearance Thursday at Single-A. |

|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley threw batting practice on Sunday, according to the Miami Herald. Dealing with a sore pitching shoulder, he should work a minor league game either Tuesday or Wednesday. |
|
|
|
| As expected, Taylor Tankersley threw 35 pitches in a bullpen session on Friday, according to the Miami Herald. He likely will toss batting practice on Monday, as he continues to recover from a sore pitching shoulder. |
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley is slated to throw off the mound again on Friday, and he'll throw batting practice on Sunday, the Marlins official site reports. If Tankersley doesn't have any setbacks with his shoulder, he could see his first Grapefruit League action on Tuesday or Wednesday. |
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley felt good after throwing from the mound Saturday and he is gaining confidence that he can be ready by opening day, according to the Miami Herald. "Today was a step," he said. "I've got about eight steps I've got to hit. My arm has to respond well at each step." |
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley threw a light toss on flat ground before Saturday's game, moving one step closer to pitching off a mound again, the Marlins official site reports. He's dealing with tendinitis in his left shoulder. "It was pain-free and felt normal -- as normal as you can feel after 12 days off," Tankersley said. "Opening Day is a real possibility if I keep progressing this way. If there's any setbacks, it will be tough." |
|
|
|
| Taylor Tankersley, out with tendinitis in his left shoulder, is scheduled to throw this week, "probably in three days," manager Fredi Gonzalez said Monday, according to the Miami Herald. Tankersley is one of the leading candidates to close for the Marlins, but he may not be ready for the start of the season. |
|
|
|
| The Sun-Sentinel reports that Taylor Tankersley has been diagnosed with posterior capsulitis, or inflammation behind his left shoulder. "Right now opening day is realistic, but I wouldn't say probable," Tankersley said. He hasn't pitched since Sunday, and it's not clear when he'll pick up a ball again. |
|
|
|
| The Marlins are in talks with both the Red Sox and Astros about trading Taylor Tankersley, according to the official team website. In exchange, Florida would receive either Boston minor league prospect outfielder David Murphy, or Houston center fielder Willy Taveras. If a trade is not made in August, it still remains a possibility in the offseason. |
