Roach will make another spot start Saturday against the Marlins, CSN Chicago's Patrick Mooney reports.

The Cubs are unsure when Tsuyoshi Wada will return from the DL, but in the meantime Roach appears to be the top replacement option. He only lasted 3.1 innings in his season debut, giving up four runs on eight hits against the Cardinals. While the Marlins offer a much better matchup, he is still a bottom tier option in daily leagues.

Roach's game is all about keeping the ball on the ground, and he mostly succeeded in that Saturday, but as the Cards helped demonstrate, that sort of high-contact approach carries a high risk level too. This was only expected to be a spot start for Roach, so he'll likely be returned to Triple-A Iowa soon.
