The Marlins have released veteran right-hander Carlos Marmol, the team announced via Twitter. Miami designated Marmol for assignment last week.
Marmol, 31, pitched 13 1/3 innings for the Fish this season, posting an 8.10 ERA and continuing his career pattern of posting high strikeout numbers (9.5 K/9) along with a lack of control (6.8 BB/9). The righty was able to miss enough bats to deliver a few impressive seasons out of the Cubs bullpen but eventually became too unreliable for the closer’s job. Chicago dealt him to the Dodgers last July and Marmol then signed a minor league deal with the Marlins during the offseason.
Justin Maxwell (Royals) and Jeff Keppinger (White Sox) are the only players still in DFA limbo, according to the MLBTR DFA Tracker.
