Shawn Morimando - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Remains in organization The Marlins outrighted Morimando to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Impact Predictably, Morimando -- a 28-year-old journeyman reliever with six career MLB relief appearances -- attracted no interest when the Marlins exposed him to waivers over the weekend. He'll remain on hand as bullpen depth at Jacksonville, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot will hurt his chances of earning another call-up to the majors before season's end.

DFA'd Saturday The Marlins designated Morimando for assignment Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Morimando got knocked around in Friday's contest, giving up three runs on seven hits in 2.2 innings of relief. The lefty has allowed at least three runs in three of his four appearances this season en route to a 9.58 ERA, so it would be surprising to see him pitch for the Marlins again in 2021.

Rejoins major-league bullpen Morimando's contract was selected by the Marlins on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Morimando made two relief appearances for the Marlins earlier in the year and allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out five in 5.2 innings. He'll provide bullpen depth after left-hander Sean Guenther was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Clears waivers Morimando has cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Morimando was DFA'd on Saturday despite tossing five scoreless relief innings in Friday's loss to Atlanta. He didn't attract any interest on the waiver wire, so he'll remain in the Miami system going forward, though now without a spot on the 40-man roster. Morimando will resume his Triple-A campaign with a 6.35 ERA and 2.12 WHIP.

Designated for assignment Morimando was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Morimando spent a single day on the Marlins' roster but was quite effective in his lone appearance, tossing five scoreless innings of relief. His reward will be to be removed from the 40-man roster entirely, with Preston Guilmet's contract getting selected in a corresponding move.

Shuts down Atlanta as bulk reliever Morimando didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-0 loss to Atlanta, giving up three hits and four walks over five scoreless innings of relief. He struck out five.

Impact The southpaw was the only Miami pitcher to be at all effective on the night as he tossed 52 of 90 pitches for strikes behind opener Anthony Bass. Given how banged-up the team's rotation is, this effort as a bulk reliever could earn Morimando more work after the All-Star break, but his career numbers in a limited sample in the majors (8.71 ERA, 2.52 WHIP in 10.1 innings) and even his performance at Triple-A this season (4.87 ERA, 1.52 WHIP in 44.1 IP) aren't encouraging.

Contract selected by Miami Morimando had his contract selected by the Marlins on Friday.

Impact The left-hander stuck around in the organization after being designated for assignment by Miami in late May, and he'll now receive another big-league opportunity. Morimando appeared in only one game for the Marlins and has a 4.87 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 44.1 innings (nine starts) at Triple-A this season. He could provide some length behind opener Anthony Bass on Friday after scheduled starter Zach Thompson (illness) was scratched.
