The Marlins announced this afternoon that theyve claimed right-hander off waivers from the Guardians and optioned him to Triple-A. Left-hander was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move to make room for McCaughan on the 40-man roster. McCaughan, 28, was a 12th-round pick by the Mariners back in 2017 and has pitched Orelvis Martinez Jersey in parts of three big league seasons since making his debut in Seattle back in 2021. He hasnt found much succe s in the majors to this point with a 9.12 ERA and nearly matching 9.02 FIP acro s 24 2/3 innings of work in the big leagues, and his minor league numbers (including a 5.25 career ERA at the Triple-A level) do little to inspire confidence in the rightys abilities either. While many of those innings of work were pitched in the inflated offensive environment of the Pacific Coast League, McCaughans struggles continued with Clevelands International League affiliate as he posted a 5.06 ERA in 32 innings at the level with the club this year. The move actually marks McCaughans second stint in the Marlins organization. The righty was acquired by the club in a cash deal with the Mariners and spent the early part of the season with the clubs Triple-A affiliate in Jacksonville before the club to Cleveland in a second cash trade in early May. McCaughan even made an appearance at the big league level with the Marlins during his brief stint with the club, allowing eight runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in one appearance for the club. Hell likely serve in a similar depth role for the Marlins going forward, acting an innings-eating spot starter or multi-inning reliever as nece sary. As for Weathers, the southpaw has been on the injured list since early June due to a . Manager Skip Schumaker told reporters ( ) that Weatherss placement on the 60-day IL wasnt a setback, exactly, but that the lefty was still dealing with swelling and figured to be another four to six weeks away from a return to action. That makes the transaction more procedural than anything else, although the news is surely still frustrating for fans in Miami. After all, Weathers has emerged as perhaps the clubs most reliable arm this year before going down with injury, as back in June. In 13 starts with the Marlins this year, Weathers has posted a 3.55 ERA with a 3.93 FIP. Carlos Delgado Jersey
