Marlins Designate Deven Marrero, Select Luis Marte

By Mark Polishuk | June 19, 2021 at 5:52pm CDT

The Marlins announced that infielder Deven Marrero has been designated for assignment.  Taking Marrero’s place on the roster is infielder Luis Marte, who is back in the majors after his contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Marrero had his contract selected back on Wednesday, and the 30-year-old started at third base that day for his lone appearance in this brief stint with Miami.  It marked Marrero’s first Major League game since 2019, when he played in five games for the Marlins.  (Incidentally, Marrero is 0-for-8 plate appearances in those six games, so Marrero is still looking for his first hit since the 2018 season.)  Now a veteran of parts of six MLB seasons, Marrero returned to the Marlins on a minor league contract back in May.

Marte has also made just one appearance in 2021, making his MLB debut on June 1 in a game against the Blue Jays.  He was DFA’ed and then outrighted following that cup of coffee in the big leagues.  Marte is a veteran of 10 minor league seasons with the Rangers, Braves, and Marlins organizations, and he has a .213/.228/.360 slash line over 79 PA at Triple-A this season.

      Has anyone ever seen Marrero and Marte in the same place at the same time? Seems like a Clark Kent and Superman kind of thing here.

    Marrero couldn’t hit ML pitching with the Red Sox, I didn’t think that would change with Arizona or Miami. He made it to The Show though, props to him.

      Doubtful. Hit .250 in the Minors. That’s why they designated him.

      EDIT: Never mind, I read this wrong.
