The Marlins optioned Bachar to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
Bachar gave the Marlins 2.2 innings out of the bullpen and allowed one run during Friday's contest, dropping his ERA to 4.73 through 26.2 frames on the year. In an effort to keep their bullpen stocked with fresh arms, the Marlins will now send him back to Triple-A in favor of Janson Junk, though Bachar could still return to Miami before the end of the year.

Marlins' Lake Bachar: Nabs third hold
Rotowire
Bachar walked one in a scoreless inning of relief Friday to record his third hold of the season in a 7-4 loss to the Nationals.
The 29-year-old righty continues to have trouble finding the plate consistently -- he's got a 7:6 K:BB through nine innings this season -- but Bachar has mostly avoided paying for it, posting a 2.00 ERA and 0.78 WHIP. He's appeared in seven of the Marlins' first 13 games, and the team's bullpen is enough of a mess that Bachar could work his way into the high-leverage mix despite stuff that would be better suited in middle relief.
