JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Miami Marlins announced several transactions that impact their Double-A affiliate Jacksonville Suns roster prior to today's game against the Chattanooga Lookouts at Bragan Field at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.

Right-handed starting pitcher Matthew Neil has been reinstated from the temporary inactive list to the Suns active roster. Neil was placed in the temporary inactive list due to the birth of his first child this past week. He will start for the Suns today against the Chattanooga Lookouts.
