The Marlins made a series of roster moves Monday, beginning with the announcement that right-hander Sterling Sharp has been designated for assignment. Miami also reinstated infielder Eddy Alvarez from the paternity list and optioned him to the alternate training site. Lefty Stephen Tarpley, meanwhile, has been placed on the 10-day IL due to an oblique strain, while fellow southpaw Brandon Leibrandt was optioned to the alternate site.
Up from the alternate site in place of Sharp, Tarpley and Leibrant are first baseman Lewin Diaz and right-handers Jorge Guzman and Jesus Tinoco.
Sharp, 25, joined the Marlins via the NL East-rival Nationals as a Rule 5 pick over the winter. He went on to throw 5 1/3 innings with the Marlins this year before they booted him from their roster, but Sharp struggled mightily along the way. The soft-tossing Sharp made four appearances out of Miami’s bullpen and yielded seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and five walks, striking out just three in the process. Sharp will now head to the waiver wire, and if nobody claims him there, the Marlins will have to offer him back to the Nats.
How is Sterling’s neck?
at this point Sharp probably only has to be carried for ~30 games on an expanded roster. someone like Pittsburgh would be lapse not to pick him up.
When did Sterling Sharp start playing Baseball
When he dropped the e from his last name.
another great baseball name lol
Guess they’re not gonna add Shannon Sharp(e) then…..
Seems like a solid Mariners pickup. What we got to lose. And were already testing out a bunch of young arms maybe the PNW will be good for him.
As a Marlins fan, I know, I think I’ve watched all of his outings, and I can say he didnt show much.
Angels
How many yards did he rush for? The most every carry is 120 yards?
As a Marlins fan, I saw most of his outings. Clearly pitching in the Bigs too soon. He may crack it in a year or so. I wish him all the best.
