White Sox Make Roster Moves Including Amaya's Selection and Varland's DFA

Marlins Promote Top Prospect Jacob Amaya, Place Segura and Cabrera on IL

The Miami Marlins have called up infielder Jacob Amaya from Triple-A to make his Major League debut, potentially as early as today's game against the Nationals. Amaya was acquired from the Dodgers in January and is known for his strong defensive skills. The Marlins could use his help, as they rank last in the league in defensive runs above average. The promotion could also be a corresponding move for Jean Segura, who has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain. Segura has struggled this season, hitting only .190/.259/.234 over 225 plate appearances while providing subpar defense at third base.
