George Soriano

Marlins Select Jeff Lindgren

By Nick Deeds | July 2, 2023 at 10:16am CDT

The Marlins have selected the contract of right-hander Jeff Lindgren and optioned fellow righty George Soriano to Triple-A, as noted by Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Lindgren takes the 40-man roster spot opened up by the club’s decision to designate veteran reliever Archie Bradley for assignment yesterday.  Miami’s 40-man is now at capacity.

Lindgren, 26, made his MLB debut with the Marlins earlier this season. The righty allowed four runs on four hits and three walks over five innings without recording a strikeout in a five-inning relief appearance back in April. Since then, he was designated for assignment, selected back onto the roster, and then designated for assignment again without making an additional appearance. While Lindgren had the option to test free agency after being outrighted for a second time, he opted to stick in the Marlins organization. In 61 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season, Lindgren has posted a 4.55 ERA. McPherson indicates that Lindgren will be a long man out of the bullpen for the Marlins going forward.

As for Soriano, the 24-year-old hurler sports an impressive 1.98 ERA over 13 2/3 innings since making his MLB debut with the Marlins back in April. After providing 3 2/3 scoreless innings of work against the Braves yesterday, Soriano heads back to Triple-A, though the righty hasn’t been able to replicate his success at the big league level in the minors this season. In 25 1/3 innings with the club’s affiliate in Jacksonville, Soriano has posted a 5.33 ERA. He’ll look to improve those results while waiting for his next big league opportunity.

Marlins Designate Archie Bradley For Assignment

By Mark Polishuk | July 1, 2023 at 1:10pm CDT

The Marlins designated right-hander Archie Bradley for assignment, and recalled righty George Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville.  Bradley pitched in Miami’s 16-4 loss to the Braves yesterday, allowing seven runs over 2 1/3 innings of work.

All told, Bradley has a 12.27 ERA over 7 1/3 total innings since the Marlins selected his contract from Triple-A in mid-June.  Bradley’s stint in free agency extended into the regular season, as he didn’t sign his minor league deal with Miami until almost two weeks into April.  Missing Spring Training has surely contributed to Bradley’s lack of form, though he did pitch pretty well in Jacksonville, posting a 2.95 ERA in 18 1/3 Triple-A innings.

Bradley was a solid-to-very good reliever with the Diamondbacks, Reds, and Phillies from 2017-21, highlighted by a stint as Arizona’s closer and even a 20th-place finish in NL MVP voting in 2017 as a nod to a dominant relief campaign.  However, things started to go south for Bradley during an injury-plagued 2022 season with the Angels, as he was limited to 18 2/3 innings due to multiple injuries, most prominently an elbow fracture.  He also had a forearm strain right at the end of September, which set back his offseason prep work.

The Marlins have seen enough to move on from the 30-year-old, but it seems likely that Bradley’s past track record and pedigree will earn him a look with another team.  While Bradley may not be quite ready to face Major League batters yet, another extended stint in Triple-A might help him get on track and get fully ramped up after his unusual offseason.  Miami could also keep him in the organization if Bradley clears waivers and accepts an outright assignment to Triple-A, though Bradley has enough big league service time to elect free agency rather than agree to an outright.

Marlins Select Sean Nolin

By Darragh McDonald | April 24, 2023 at 3:30pm CDT

The Marlins have announced to reporters, including Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald, that they have selected the contract of left-hander Sean Nolin. Right-hander George Soriano was optioned to make room on the active roster while righty Jeff Lindgren was designated for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man.

Nolin, 33, is a journeyman to the extreme. A Blue Jays draft pick back in 2010, he then bounced around to the systems of the Athletics, Rockies, White Sox and Mariners, before expanding his range to independent ball and overseas. He spent the 2020 season with the Seibu Lions in Japan, returned to North America in 2021 for a stint with the Nationals and then went to the Kia Tigers in Korea last year. He posted a 2.47 ERA in 124 innings with the Tigers last year.

Nolin returned to North America this offseason, signing a minor league deal with the Twins in February. It was reported over the weekend that the Marlins had acquired him from the Twins and he’ll now join the big league club. He made one appearance in Triple-A, logging four innings on Wednesday. He’ll give a fresh arm to a pitching staff that has been taxed in a few ways of late. Injuries to Johnny Cueto and Trevor Rogers have dealt a few blows to the rotation. The club also had to play a doubleheader on Saturday, using nine different pitchers to get through that twin bill against the Guardians. Nolin has a career 5.74 ERA in 18 games, eight of those in the 2013-2015 period before getting 10 more with the Nats in 2021.

As for Lindgren, 26, this is the second time this year he has been selected to the roster and quickly designated for assignment, even though the season is just a few weeks old. Since he cleared waivers and was outrighted the first time, he’ll now have the right to reject a second outright and elect free agency if he clears waivers again. He got a five-inning emergency outing in his first stint but didn’t get into a game this time around. He posted a 4.21 ERA in the minors last year.

Marlins Place JT Chargois On IL With Oblique Strain

By Darragh McDonald | April 10, 2023 at 5:27pm CDT

The Marlins announced that they have placed right-hander JT Chargois on the 15-day injured list due to a right oblique strain. Fellow righty George Soriano was recalled in a corresponding move. Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reported on the moves prior to the official announcement and also relayed that Chargois will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his strain.

Chargois, 32, is a late-blooming journeyman, having spent time in the big leagues with the Twins, Dodgers, Mariners, Rays and Marlins. He was traded from Seattle to Tampa at the 2021 deadline and posted a 1.90 ERA for the Rays down the stretch. He followed that up by registering a 2.42 ERA last year, striking out just 19.8% of batters faced but keeping his walks down to a 5.8% clip and getting grounders on 59.7% of balls in play. Those numbers from last year came over a relatively small sample of 21 appearances as left oblique tightness kept him on the injured list for about four months from April to August.

Despite that solid stretch of play, the Rays were facing a roster crunch at the end of last year. They had a batch of players that needed to be added in order to protect them from being selected in the Rule 5 draft and another big crop eligible for arbitration. They dealt with that logjam by making eight relatively minor trades in November and December, dealing away players like J.P. Feyereisen, Ji Man Choi and Brooks Raley. One of those deals saw Chargois and infielder Xavier Edwards become Marlins, with prospects going the other way. Chargois has made five scoreless appearances for the Marlins already in the young season, not even allowing a hit or a walk yet. He wasn’t going to sustain that forever, obviously, but it’s still a blow for the Marlins to lose a reliever who was off to a hot start. It’s unclear how long he’ll be out of action, with the upcoming MRI surely to provide more information, though even mild oblique strains usually lead to weeks-long absences. Chargois himself missed that lengthy stretch just last year due to issues with his left oblique.

As for Soriano, 24, he’ll be making his major league debut as soon as he gets into a game. He was a starter for most of his minor league career but worked exclusively in relief upon reaching Triple-A last year. In 32 appearances for the Jumbo Shrimp, he had a 2.49 ERA, 25.7% strikeout rate, 12% walk rate and 34.5% ground ball rate. Based on that performance, he was selected to the 40-man roster in November to protect him from being selected in the Rule 5 draft and was ranked the club’s #25 prospect by Baseball America.

Marlins Designate Elieser Hernandez, Four Others For Assignment

By Anthony Franco and Simon Hampton | November 15, 2022 at 6:42pm CDT

The Marlins have announced a number of designations on Rule 5 protection day. Right-handers Elieser Hernandez, Nick Neidert, Jeff Brigham, José Devers and Lewin Diaz for assignment (h/t to Joe Frisaro). In corresponding moves, Miami added George Soriano, Josh Simpson and Eli Villalobos onto the roster.

Brigham threw 24 innings of 3.38 ERA ball out of the Marlins’ bullpen this year, posting solid strikeout (27.7%) and walk (9.9%) rates. Those are decent enough results that should leave Brigham with options for 2023, but the 30-year-old was arbitration eligible and a likely non-tender candidate, so the Marlins opted to cut him loose in favor of a freed up 40-man spot. Neidert and Hernandez are the others pitchers Miami cut loose. Neidert only appeared in one game for the Marlins this year, but had a 1.96 ERA at Triple-A in 46 innings. Hernandez struggled mightily in the big leagues, winding up with a 6.35 ERA across 62 1/3 innings.

Miami also parted ways with hitters Devers and Diaz. Devers appeared in 21 games as a middle infielder, slashing .244/.304/.317 without a home run. Diaz has struggled in parts of three seasons in the big leagues for Miami. The first baseman hit just .169/.224/.288 with five home runs in 174 plate appearances this year. He did grade out well defensively, but his lifetime .181/.227/.340 line was never going to be enough from a bat-first position.

The Marlins used the open spots to add a trio of intriguing arms to their 40-man roster. Villalobos blew away Triple-A hitters in 17 1/3 innings this year, striking out 26 and posting a 1.04 ERA. Simpson did the same, striking out 23 batters in 12 1/3 innings after being called up from Double-A. Soriano didn’t post any big strikeout numbers, but the 2.49 ERA he wound up with over 47 Triple-A innings was certainly enough promise to earn him a spot on the 40-man. All three are now a chance to feature in the Marlins’ bullpen in 2023.
