The Marlins announced that they have selected right-hander , a move that was . In corresponding moves, righty has been optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville and righty has been designated for a signment. Gillispie, 27, was claimed off waivers from Atlanta in January. He earned a rotation job to start the season but couldnt hold it. In six starts, he allowed 25 earned runs in 26 innings, leading to an unsightly 8.65 ERA. That got him optioned down to Triple-A, where he has since logged 33 2/3 innings with a 4.28 ERA. While that was obviously a big improvement, luck was a big factor. He struck out just Frank Ntilikina Jersey 15.7% of batters faced in the minors while giving out walks at an 11.4% clip. If it werent for a tiny .161 batting average on balls in play, he would have fared far worse, hence his 6.55 FIP. Hes now been nudged off the 40-man roster and will likely end up on waivers in the coming days. His minor league work prior to this year was better. From 2021 to 2024, he logged 406 innings on the farm with a 4.12 ERA. His 9.6% walk rate was a tad high but he also punched out 24.1% of opponents. He is still optionable for the rest of this year and one further season, so perhaps a club with a need for depth and a plan to get Gillispie on track could have interest. If he clears outright waivers, he would stick with the Marlins as non-roster depth. Photo courtesy of Ryan Sun, Imagn Images Alec Burks Jersey
