Chris Coghlan will make his major league debut tonight against the Rockies at second base in plaace in regular starter Dan Uggla. The Marlins selected Coghlan from Triple-A New Orleans after placing right-hander Anibal Sanchez on the disabled list with a right shoulder sprain.

Uggla has appeared in all but two of the Marlins first 29 games, missing one (May 2) because of a tight hamstring. He is in a miserable slump, going 8 for his last 65 (.123).?Just six of Uggla's 18 RBI?have come since April 16.

The rest of the batting order against right-hander Jason Hammel:

Bonifacio, 3B; Coghlan, 2B; Ramirez, SS; Cantu, 1B; Baker, C; Ross, RF; Hermida, LF; Amezaga, CF; Nolasco, SP?
