The Marlins selected De Los Santos' contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. De Los Santos finished the 2024 season with 40 home runs and 120 RBI between the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He got his strikeout rate down to 24.7 percent overall on the season, but it came in at 28.4 percent with Jacksonville after he landed there via trade. While there are swing-and-miss concerns, De Los Santos won't turn 22 until June and has immense raw power. He could get a shot with the Marlins at some point in 2025.

De Los Santos finished the 2024 season with 40 home runs and 120 RBI between the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He got his strikeout rate down to 24.7 percent overall on the season, but it came in at 28.4 percent with Jacksonville after he landed there via trade.

The Marlins outrighted Roa (shoulder) to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. Miami claimed Roa off waivers from Cincinnati on Nov. 1, but he's now been stripped of his 40-man roster spot after just 15 days with the organization. The 25-year-old righty spent all of last season in Triple-A, where he posted a 5.55 ERA and 1.76 WIHP across 48.2 innings before going down with a sprained shoulder, and he'll likely need to show some improvement at Jacksonville before getting a chance to make his MLB debut.
Simpson cleared waivers and was outrighted off the Marlins' 40-man roster Monday. A 27-year-old southpaw, Simpson had surgery in April to repair the ulnar nerve in his left elbow and was able to return late in the year with a rehab assignment before being assinged to Triple-A. Simpson logged a 7.62 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and a 19:7 K:BB in his final 13 innings last season and has never reached the big leagues.
The Marlins outrighted Hensley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will stick around in the organization. Hensley, who turns 29 in March, has slashed .188/.280/.279 in 69 games over parts of three big-league seasons.
The Marlins outrighted McCaughan to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. McCaughan has been outrighted before, so he can exercise his right to free agency if he wants. The right-hander posted an unsightly 6.21 ERA over 42 frames between the Marlins and Guardians in 2024.
The Marlins outrighted Anderson to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. Anderson has been outrighted previously, so he has the option to elect free agency. The righty held an 8.27 ERA and 10:1 K:BB across 16.1 frames between the Rangers and Marlins this season.
The Marlins claimed Roa (shoulder) off waivers from the Reds on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Roa posted a 5.55 ERA and 47:30 K:BB over 48.2 innings with Triple-A Louisville in 2024 before going down in August with a right shoulder sprain. He did not have surgery, but it's unclear whether Roa will be ready for the start of spring training.
Garrett was diagnosed with a left elbow impingement last week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Garrett missed multiple months of action with a strained left forearm before suffering a setback with his elbow during a bullpen session in September. He is currently going through a throwing progression at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida, and the setback isn't considered something that will jeopardize his availability for the start of spring training.
