Overview
- The Marlins designated right-hander Chris Paddack for assignment, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.
- Being designated for assignment removes a player from the 40-man roster and opens a path to a trade, a waiver claim, or release.
- Paddack posted an 0-5 record with a 7.63 ERA in six starts, allowing a major league-high 26 earned runs, including seven in 2 2/3 innings against the Phillies.
- He joined Miami on a one-year, $4 million deal in the offseason after the club traded Edward Cabrera to the Cubs.
- Miami is 16-19 and now has a rotation spot to fill as it seeks more reliable innings.
