Also on Thursday, news came out that the Miami Marlins had designated former Blue Jays player Leo Jiménez for assignment.
Christina De Nicola of MLB.com wrote: “#Marlins will be recalling Deyvison De Los Santos and DFAing Leo Jiménez. With the recent additions of Jared Serna and Graham Pauley to the roster, that meant less 3B, 2B and 1B reps for Jiménez, who was out of Minor League options. DLS provides a righty power option at 1B/DH.”
