The Miami Marlins have reinstated Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jean Segura from the injured list and optioned Jacob Amaya and Garrett Hampson to Triple-A Jacksonville. They also claimed Eli Villalobos off waivers from the Pirates and assigned him to Double-A Pensacola. Chisholm is returning after a long absence due to turf toe, while Segura is back after a minimum stint on the IL. Villalobos, who turns 26 today, rejoins his original organization after being claimed off waivers by the Pirates in April.
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.
The Miami Marlins have called up their No. 9 prospect, infielder Jacob Amaya, to make his Major League debut. Amaya has been producing well at Triple-A Jacksonville this season with a .278/.346/.472 slash line. In a corresponding move, the Marlins have placed veteran infielder Jean Segura on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left hamstring.
