He left with right elbow soreness, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro.
Rea struck out Jedd Gyorko to lead off the fourth inning, then immediately waved to the trainer - it was not clear what he had injured.
Rea pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out four.
David Phelps relieved Rea with the Marlins leading the Cardinals 4-0.
Rea, right-hander Andrew Cashner, and prospect Tayron Guerrero were acquired for right-handers Jarred Cosart and Carter Capps and two minor leaguers, pitcher Luis Castillo and first baseman Josh Naylor.
