Two embattled relievers are returning to action for the Marlins, but neither will be used in critical situations. Renyel Pinto returned from the disabled list Monday, and Kevin Gregg will be available Tuesday for the first time since Aug. 29.
Pinto had been out since Aug. 23 with a strained left hamstring. Gregg, who has saved 29 games as Florida's closer all year, had been sidelined with left knee inflammation.
For now the closer's role will go to Matt Lindstrom, who got his first career save Friday.
"It's an opportunity for him," manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
As for Pinto and Gregg, both pitchers will be eased into action, first pitching in non-save and non-critical situations.
PHILLIES 8, MARLINS 6: Anibal Sanchez followed up a three-inning outing last week with the shortest start of his career Monday. He allowed five runs in just 1 2/3 innings as the Marlins (72-72) fell to .500 for the first time since April 6, when they were 3-3.
