Marlins Claim Xzavion Curry, Designate Shaun Anderson

By Steve Adams | August 9, 2024 at 1:08pm CDT

The Marlins have claimed right-hander Xzavion Curry off waivers from the Guardians, the teams announced Friday. Cleveland designated Curry for assignment earlier in the week. In order to open space on the 40-man roster, Miami designated righty Shaun Anderson for assignment.

Curry, who recently turned 26, was the organization’s seventh-round pick back in 2019. He made his big league debut in 2022 and has ranked as highly as No. 22 in the Guardians’ farm system on Baseball America’s prospect rankings. Despite that, however, he’s yet to find much success in the majors. He’s logged 129 innings and yielded a 4.53 ERA, including a particularly tough 5.84 mark in this year’s 24 2/3 innings. Curry has a strong 7.3% walk rate in the majors but a lackluster 15.2% strikeout rate. He’s seen both his 92-93 mph fastball and his curveball hit hard by big leaguers — particularly the latter (.321/.355/.607).

He hasn’t fared particularly well in Triple-A either, but Curry had solid numbers up through Double-A, has good command of the strike zone and is in the second of three minor league option years. He’ll give Miami some length in the bullpen or an option to step into a rotation that’s been depleted by myriad injuries and the deadline trade of southpaw Trevor Rogers.

Miami acquired the 29-year-old Anderson in a cash swap with the Rangers back in May. He’s been up and down a couple times with the Fish but been tagged for an ugly 13 runs in just 10 2/3 innings. The well-traveled righty has fared far better in Triple-A this season, with a 2.42 ERA and 45-to-11 K/BB ratio in 48 1/3 frames. The Marlins are Anderson’s seventh big league club. He’s pitched 149 2/3 innings in the majors but struggled to a 6.19 ERA in that time. Anderson has a nice Triple-A track record (3.66 ERA, 20.7 K%, 7.4 BB% in six seasons) but hasn’t managed to carry that over to the big leagues yet.

Now that the trade deadline has passed, Anderson will be placed on outright waivers or release waivers by next week.

    Looks like the Marlins are hoping Xzavion Curry will spice up their bullpen, but let’s hope his performance isn’t too mild this time around!

    Scrabble next gen.

    Xzavion is for given names what Rzepczynski is for surnames.

    Guards really did give him every opportunity to succeed, but like the article said he’s not found any kind of success above AA. I wish him well, but Miami better have some low expectations going in.

    Oh why couldn’t it have been Gavin Williams?!

    Think Gavin Williams must have slept with your wife. He has more potential than 80% of Cleveland’s starting staff.
