The Marlins are selecting infielder Deven Marrero and left-hander Shawn Morimando to the big league roster, relays Christina de Nicola of MLB.com (Twitter link). Second baseman Jazz Chisholm is landing on the COVID-19 injured list. Chisholm has been suffering from virus-like symptoms and stayed behind in Denver, where the Fish just wrapped up a series against the Rockies.
Both Marrero and Morminado have been yo-yoed on and off the roster this season. Miami has rather remarkably selected Marrero’s contract four times, designating him for assignment and passing him through outright waivers shortly after each of his first three calls. Most recently, Marrero was selected and DFA’d just last week — incidentally while Chisholm was on the COVID-19 IL for a day after not feeling well. The 30-year-old has only picked up seven plate appearances over his various big league stints; he’s hitting .252/.327/.397 this year with Triple-A Jacksonville.
Morimando is up for the third time. He’s made two appearances, allowing four runs in just two-thirds of an inning against the Phillies on May 24 but tossing five scoreless frames against the Braves on July 9. The 28-year-old has a 4.43 ERA over 63 innings with Jacksonville this season.
they’re just playing around with Guilmet, Morimando, Marrero, Marte, and Madero this year smh
this is getting absurd at this point
GUYS HES BACK!
Good heavens. Deven Marrero has had his contract selected then was DFA’d three times in the last month and a half. This is his fourth time getting his contract selected. A DFA is in his future sometime in the next four days or so
We need to start some sort of betting pool. What day of the week will you see this headline? Place your bets
August 10th, Marrero DFA’d
August 12th, Marrero selected
August 14
DFA
DFA = Deven For Assignment
Deven Marrero is playing the worlds longest game of musical chairs. Somebody needs to get Guinness on line 2.
He’s used to it. The Red Sox used to do that to him too
What is the record for call ups in a season? And what poor soul owns it?
Guarantee the Marlins eventually select Marrero and to make room they will DFA Marrero in a corresponding transaction.
He will become legendary like Brad Gulden, Harry Chiti, Dickie Noles, and John McDonald.
This guy needs to change his name to DFA Marrero
