Set to join major-league roster The Marlins are expected to recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The infielder will get his first look in the big leagues after batting .232 with 12 home runs and 28 stolen bases over 106 games for Jacksonville. The Marlins haven't announced who will be moved off the 26-man active roster in a corresponding move, but Graham Pauley could be headed to the 10-day injured list after experiencing side discomfort during Sunday's win over the Red Sox. Acosta has played exclusively second base and shortstop in the minors this season, so he would likely be in line for a depth role rather than being a candidate to potentially replace Pauley as the Marlins' primary third baseman.

Bumped to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Acosta to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Acosta's option to Triple-A will act as a promotion of sorts, as he spent all of last season in Double-A as part of the Rangers organization. The 22-year-old went 3-for-11 with a home run in his first spring with the Marlins, and a lack of depth in the big-league infield keeps the door open for Acosta to debut in 2025.

Sent to Miami The Rangers traded Acosta to the Marlins on Tuesday alongside Echedry Vargas and Brayan Mendoza in exchange for Jake Burger, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In 104 games with Double-A Frisco last season, Acosta slashed .286/.351/.423 with 56 RBI and swiped 26 bags. He was selected to the Rangers' 40-man roster in November to protect him from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft, which means he will now have a spot on Miami's 40-man roster. While the 22-year-old is unlikely to crack the big-league squad out of spring training, a promotion to Triple-A Jacksonville could come in the near future.

Contract selected The Rangers selected Acosta to their 40-man roster Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Acosta spent his entire 2024 season in Double-A Frisco. He slashed .286/.351/.423 with eight home runs and 58 strikeouts over 433 plate appearances. It was the infielder's fourth season in the minors and the numbers he tallied were his best yet. The 22-year-old is now protected from the Rule 5 Draft in December.
