Marlins Designate Shawn Morimando, Place Zach Pop On 10-Day Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | August 14, 2021 at 3:27pm CDT

The Marlins have designated left-hander Shawn Morimando for assignment and placed righty Zach Pop on the 10-day injured list.  Right-hander Jorge Guzman and left-hander Sean Guenther were called up from Triple-A to take the two spots on the active roster.  (MLB.com’s Christina De Nicola was among those to report the moves.)

Pop has been sidelined with soreness in the middle finger of his throwing hand, interrupting a very respectable rookie season for the 24-year-old.  Over his first 43 1/3 innings in the majors, Pop has a 4.36 ERA/4.05 SIERA, plus a 58.1% grounder rate that has continued his reputation from the minors as a groundball specialist.  The Marlins landed Pop via the Rule 5 Draft (acquiring the right-hander from the Diamondbacks after Arizona drafted him out of the Orioles’ organization), and Pop has certainly pitched well enough to remain on the MLB roster for the entire season, so Miami will retain his rights going forward.

This is the second time the Marlins have DFA’ed Morimando this season, with the first designation resulting in an outright assignment to Triple-A for the southpaw.  After making his big league debut with Cleveland in 2016, Morimando didn’t receive another MLB opportunity until this season, when he posted a 9.58 ERA over 10 1/3 innings for the Marlins.

    Wow, Pop has been quite solid for a very inexperienced Rule 5 guy.

      given his minors numbers, it was a no-brainer to try. when he was healthy in the Minors he was dominant, and missing time can help with R5 stickiness.

    Zach Pop would be a great name for a power hitter.

      The artful Dodgers, convincing teams to take trash for their best players for years.

    The Orioles generally make lousy trades, it would be nice if it would change. On the other hand, Taylor Wells looks like a winner.

    The Orioles biggest problem was holding on to Machado to long. If they had made that trade a year earlier they could have gotten Dodgers top prospects.

    Their mistaken belief that they had a playoff roster, has cost them dearly.
