Colin D. Rea (born July 1, 1990) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). He also pitched in one game during his three days with the Miami Marlins in late-July 2016.

Career

Rea played college baseball at the University of Northern Iowa before transferring to St. Petersburg College and then Indiana State University. He was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 12th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft.[1] He made his professional debut that season with the Eugene Emeralds.[2] He played for the Fort Wayne TinCaps in 2012 and Fort Wayne and the Lake Elsinore Storm in 2013.[3] Rea played for Lake Elsinore in 2014 and started 2015 with the Double-A San Antonio Missions.[4][5] Rea made his major league debut on August 11, 2015.[6]

Rea was involved in a pair of transactions between the Padres and Marlins just before the MLB trade deadline on August 1, 2016. He was first traded along with Andrew Cashner and Tayron Guerrero to the Marlins for Jarred Cosart, Carter Capps, Josh Naylor, and Luis Castillo on July 29.[7] He then made his Marlins debut in an 11–0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Marlins Park the following night on July 30, but an injury ended his start after one out in the fourth inning. His right elbow strain landed him on the 15-day disabled list on July 31.[8] Rea's four-day odyssey ended on August 1 when he and Castillo were returned to their original ballclubs.[9] NBC Miami reported that Miami felt it had been sent an injured player in Rea from the Padres. [10] On August 5th, Rea was diagnosed with a torn UCL. After visiting Dr. James Andrews, Rea opted for a platelet rich plasma injection instead of undergoing Tommy John surgery.[11]
