Quick Hits: Marlins, Galarraga, Rays, Rodriguez

Here's the latest from around the majors as the Rangers and Tigers start a four-game set in Detroit..

• The agent of right-hander Armando Galarraga recently reached out to Marlins skipper Ozzie Guillen to see if the club might have interest in signing him, writes Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald.  "I've passed [the request] up the ladder," Guillen said. "We'll see what happens."  Galarraga, 30, signed a minor league deal with the Orioles this spring, but was released after just four appearances.
• Rays skipper Joe Maddon is excited about the club's additon of outfielder/first baseman Brandon Allen, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.  Allen, 26, was claimed off of waivers from the A's earlier today.
• Nationals GM Mike Rizzo doesn't have any openings for Ivan Rodriguez to join the club as a coach but gave the retired catcher a ringing endorsement, tweets Bill Ladson of MLB.com.
• Cardinals GM John Mozeliak told Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (via Twitter) that a roster move may be necessary due to Jon Jay's shoulder injury.
