Marlins Designate Bryan Mitchell For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | August 25, 2021 at 3:19pm CDT

The Marlins are designating right-hander Bryan Mitchell for assignment, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald was among those to relay. The move creates an active roster spot for top pitching prospect Edward Cabrera, who has officially been recalled to make his major league debut tonight against the Nationals. Mitchell’s designation also creates a vacancy on the 40-man roster, which now sits at 39.

Miami selected Mitchell to the big league club last week. He’s since made two appearances, tossing four innings of two-run ball out of the bullpen. He struck out four batters while issuing one unintentional walk in that time. That brief showing marked Mitchell’s first big league work in three years, as he hadn’t made it back to the majors after struggling to a 5.42 ERA over 73 innings with the 2018 Padres.

In the intervening seasons, Mitchell has bounced around between a few organizations. He’s spent most of the past couple years at Triple-A, and that’s been true in 2021 as well. Mitchell signed with the Phillies and began the year with their top affiliate in Lehigh Valley. He was released with a 6.04 ERA and a mediocre 20:16 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 28 1/3 frames with the IronPigs. But Mitchell has looked better after landing with the Marlins on a minors pact. He tossed twelve innings of four-run ball with fourteen strikeouts and six walks for Triple-A Jacksonville to earn the long-awaited call back to the majors last week.

Mitchell will now find himself on waivers over the coming days. If he passes through unclaimed, he’d have the right to reject an outright assignment in favor of free agency because he has previously been outrighted in his career.

    Still waiting for MLB to put replay umpires in NY on designated assignment. It is like all the luck from the first half the Mets got rubbed off and took the D-train to the Bronx.

      Keep crying about it, sorry your team can’t hang with the big boys. I like how yo conveniently left out the bogus foul tip call and the countless missed strike 3 calls that cost the Yankees multiple runs. Grow up.

        I’m not crying nor care because the Braves will be another first-round exit if they make it.

        Regardless, bad calls are made on the field daily, but when umps look at the replay and still get it wrong, you have a problem. Kinda like the problem the Yanks have with their terrible rotation.

          Man you were doing so well until that factually dubious and nonsensical last sentence. Such a shame.

          Please do some research.
          Google Matt Blake
          Yankee pitching coach and how he literally gets the best out of every pitcher this year.

          The Yankees have an incredible rotation. Really shows how much you watch baseball if you didn’t know that.

          Why do you think the braves will have a 1st round exit? Oh! You don’t think the playoffs are a complete and utter crapshoot.

    Excited for Cabrera’s debut. Some say he has a higher potential than Sixto.

      Except this time, nobody got busted for PEDs, and Fernando Tatis Sr. didn’t make a deal to have his name removed by snitching on many other players that did them with him.
