The Marlins announced four roster moves prior to their game with the Yankees, most notably the activation of tonight’s scheduled starting pitcher. Trevor Rogers has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list, and newly-acquired catcher Alex Jackson has also officially been added to the roster. In corresponding moves, right-hander Preston Guilmet was designated for assignment and righty Jordan Holloway was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville.
Rogers returns after just a minimal absence due to back spasms. The left-hander’s second MLB season has seen him break out with a 2.37 ERA over 106 1/3 innings, with Statcast delivering good reviews of his work apart from a below-average walk rate. Rogers’ performance earned him an All-Star nod, and the 23-year-old looks to be establishing himself as yet another building block of a young arm in the Miami rotation.
Guilmet has tossed one inning for the Marlins this season, with that lone appearance marking the righty’s first Major League game since the 2018 season. Guilmet has now appeared in five different seasons since 2013, accumulating 34 innings in the Show and posting a 9.00 ERA.
Originally a ninth-round draft pick for Cleveland back in 2009, Guilmet has been a member of 11 different MLB organizations, not to mention a stint in Japan with the Yakult Swallows. Because the Marlins have already outrighted Guilmet off the 40-man roster earlier this season, he has the right to decline another outright assignment and elect to become a free agent once again.
1-2-3 inning for Trevor Rogers including two K’s versus Gleyber Torres and Joey Gallo
Strange how Jeters team benches their best bat (Aguilar) against the Yankees. Hmmm…
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or if you don’t know players get days off once in a while.
Plus Lewin Diaz needs some ABs and he’s the 1st baseman of the future.
Did you know that sometimes players need a rest day or managers platoon versus especially tough righties or if Aguilar has an issue with pitches with similar shaping to Germans? Just a thought
That’s some deep-state conspiracy theory promulgation going on there.
What if The MyPillow guy logged onto MLBTR?
ahh – Now I suspect you’re the My Pillow guy trying to throw us off your trail.
somewhat off topic, but does anyone know if Alex Jackson has exceeded rookie eligibility yet?
According to Baseball-Reference, he hasn’t yet
i mean, neither has Dylan Carlson per then and he’s been a regular in STL for 4 months.
