• Angels' Jake Marisnick: Headed to Triple-A

  03/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Marisnick will begin the season at Triple-A Salt Lake, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. Marisnick chose not to exercise the opt-out clause in his minor-league deal with the Halos on Friday, suggesting that he may have had an opportunity to break camp with the big-league squad. However, he will head back to the minors despite slashing .302/.333/.558 with three homers and seven RBI across 45 spring plate appearances. If the 32-year-old is able to stay hot at the plate to begin the minor-league season, he could hit his way back into the majors, but he would likely be limited to a bench role in Anaheim.

• Angels' Jake Marisnick: Doesn't invoke opt-out

  03/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  Marisnick didn't trigger his opt-out clause Friday and will remain in the Angels organization for the time being, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Marisnick signed with the Angels on a minor-league deal in December and, as a veteran of at least six years who finished last season on the injured list, could have invoked a clause Friday that would require Los Angeles to either release him or add him to the 40-man roster. The fact that he didn't use the opt-out suggests that he has a legitimate shot of making the cut for Opening Day, and he's done all he can to earn that opportunity with a .302/.333/.558 slash line, three homers, seven RBI, seven runs and five steals over 45 plate appearances this spring. Marisnick could serve as a reserve outfielder if he does break camp with the Angels, but a spot isn't guaranteed given the team's crowded outfield situation.
