Marlins Announce Numerous Roster Moves

By Jeff Todd | August 3, 2020 at 4:01pm CDT

As they prepare to resume play, the Marlins have announced a flurry of additions to the active roster (as covered on Twitter by reporters including Jordan MacPherson of the Miami Herald). Just who’ll move to the COVID-19 injured list remains to be seen.

Most of these players were picked up in the last week or so as the organization’s coronavirus outbreak unfolded. The Fish will select the contracts of righties Nick Vincent and Josh A. Smith, infielders Logan Forsythe and Eddy Alvarez, and catcher Ryan Lavarnway.

Also coming up are a host of other fill-ins that had already gone onto the 40-man roster. Outfielders Matt Joyce and Lewis Brinson are coming off of the injured list. Righties Justin Shafer, James Hoyt, and Mike Morin will join lefties Josh D. Smith, Richard Bleier, and Brian Moran in the bullpen.

Most notably, perhaps, are the additions of youngsters Jordan Yamamoto, Monte Harrison, and Jorge Guzman. Yamamoto had 15 solid starts in 2019 and will be looking to lock down a job for the foreseeable future. As for Harrison, a former top-100 prospect, it’ll be his first taste of the bigs. Guzman is a live-armed young hurler who’ll get his first look.

In other news from Miami, both president Derek Jeter and manager Don Mattingly pushed back on the prevailing narrative surrounding the team’s coronavirus issues. While the leaders acknowledged that some players may have let their guard down, they rejected any rumors that players had recklessly engaged in risky activities away from the ballpark.

Jeter also rejected the notion that the Marlins’ players had made their own decision to take the field against the Phillies after several players tested positive. He says the organization simply played a scheduled game and noted that the league and opposing team had full knowledge of the testing results.

    I know that names are being kept private because of HIPPA but it’s going to become rather obvious once its simply the list of guys that were on the team but now are missing.

        Players have to waive their privacy right in order for covid to be announced. I don’t know if it’s hippa but it’s specifically in the agreement for this season.

    Do these roster moves give us any clues as to which Marlins will be placed on the IL before tomorrow’s game? I hope all of the Covid guys are Ok, but I need to set my fantasy line up today!

    Not saying Guzman will put up great numbers but he’ll open a bunch of eyes. For some reason he has never gotten much attention.

      3.70 career minors ERA and not usually too young for his level.

        that’s not great but not bad but 24 isn’t old for a debut especially for a pitcher by any means

    I could rewrite this article, substitute totally made-up names, and there would only be a handful of people who would know the difference. What a franchise!

      You want them to add Derek Jeter? The team has to replace 18 players. No franchise is set up to do that.
