Wade LeBlanc, who was so impressive in March that Ozzie Guillen called him the team's Cy Young Award winner of spring training, is expected to be called up Sunday from Triple A New Orleans to replace injured reliever Edward Mujica.
In 16 starts with the Zephyrs, the left-handed LeBlanc has gone 5-5 with a 3.74 ERA.
The Marlins obtained LeBlanc in an offseason trade with the Padres for catcher John Baker.

There is no one else? LeBlanc is better suited as backup for a starter. Or are they bringing him up just in case Nolasco needs another trip to AAA, or Zambrano loses control of the game in the first three innings again?
