Mandatory Credit: Ryan Sun-Imagn Images The Miami Marlins optioned starting pitcher Connor Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday and promoted fellow right-hander Luarbert Arias to take his place on the active roster.
Gillispie, 27, posted a 0-3 record with an 8.65 ERA in six starts this season.
That includes Saturday's start at Seattle in which Julio Rodriguez and Jorge Polanco each belted a home run. Gillispie surrendered seven earned runs before being lifted after two innings. His 25 earned runs lead the National League entering Sunday's play.
Arias, 24, made his major-league debut March 31 and threw three scoreless innings against the New York Mets.
He was optioned to Jacksonville after giving up eight earned runs over 3 1/3 innings in his next three appearances to push his ERA to 11.37. He has allowed three runs and six hits over 4 1/3 innings for the Jumbo Shrimp.
