The Marlins have acquired outfielder Cesar Puello from the Angels, per a club announcement. Cash considerations are going to Los Angeles for the recently-designated Puello.
That explains the just-reported move to designate Rosell Herrera. In other news, the club placed starter Pablo Lopez on the 10-day injured list, as anticipated. Southpaw Jose Quijada will take the open roster spot for the time being. The club will ultimately still need to find a space for hurler Zac Gallen, who is slated to be promoted tomorrow.
The Fish have little to lose in giving a shot to Puello, who surprised in fill-in duty for the Halos. He slashed .390/.500/.683 in fifty plate appearances after racking up a .299/.434/.507 line in his 166 trips to the plate at Triple-A. Once considered a prospect of note, Puello has received only limited MLB opportunities but carries a .844 OPS in over fifteen hundred attempts at the highest level of the minors.
He tore it up. I hope he gets a chance to play there was fun to watch fora few weeks.
I don’t know why the O’s didn’t go after him.
They have a roster full of guys just like him.
you cant tell me they’d rather have Wilkerson then him
best of luck in miami!
Great landing spot for Puello. He deserves a real shot at playing time and he just might get it in Miami.
He earned more ABs. Good for him and good luck.
