Marlins Designate Brett Eibner For Assignment

By Connor Byrne | September 23, 2020 at 3:02pm CDT

The Marlins have designated right-hander Brett Eibner for assignment and reinstated lefty Stephen Tarpley from the 60-day injured list, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com tweets.

This is the second time this season Miami has designated Eibner, a former Royals, Athletics and Dodgers outfielder from 2015-17 who has reinvented himself as a pitcher in the past couple years. The Marlins signed Eibner to a minor league contract in early August, at which point the team was dealing with serious coronavirus concerns.

To his credit, the 31-year-old Eibner has been successful enough as a hurler to get back to the majors in 2020. But Eibner has struggled across 3 1/3 innings as a member of the playoff-contending Marlins, with whom he has yielded five earned runs on seven hits, including two homers, with four walks and four strikeouts.

    I saw this coming. He looked terrible last night and they left him out there to eat it. Typically you don’t do that to players you have a vested longer term interest in… although the marlins did do that to another younger player earlier this season against the braves

      Agreed. The Marlins probably decided to cut him mid-appreance and needed to save other arms. Kudos to him for making it back, but his stuff did not look good.

    Royals came back from down 6 or so in the bottom of the 9th and Eibner hit the walkoff, I think it might have even been his major league debut.

      May 28, 2016 scored 7 in the bottom of the 9th to beat the White Sox 8-7 and Eisner drove in the run. It as his second career game.
