Worth noting

• According to Redmond, right-hander Nathan Eovaldi threw between 30 to 40 pitches in a bullpen session on Thursday, and "everything was good." Eovaldi will probably toss another one or two bullpen sessions before progressing further.

• Catcher Jeff Mathis, reinstated from the disabled list with a broken collarbone he sustained during the first game of Spring Training, made his first start in Thursday's series finale.

• First basemen Kotchman and Mahoney took grounders and played catch before batting practice. Kotchman also hit and is close to going out on a rehab assignment.

• The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced that right-handed pitcher Juan Arias received a 50-game suspension without pay after testing positive for metabolites of Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. Arias, who is currently on the Marlins' Dominican Summer League roster, will begin his suspension at the start of the DSL season.
