The Marlins outrighted Devers to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. After receiving a call-up from Jacksonville on Aug. 31, Devers logged just four plate appearances over three games before being removed from Miami's 40-man roster Thursday. The infielder will remain in the organization after clearing waivers.

The Marlins designated Devers for assignment Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports. Devers was recalled at the start of September but has played sparingly this month while dealing with a hand injury. The 24-year-old slashed just .228/.293/.360 across 209 plate appearances this season with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Devers exited Friday's game against the Phillies with an apparent hand injury, MLB.com reports. Playing first base for the first time in his career in a blowout loss, Devers was trying to field an errant throw from Connor Norby in the eighth inning and collided with Johan Rojas in the process. The severity of the issue is not currently clear.

The Marlins selected Devers' contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday. Devers has spent most of the season with Jacksonville, where he's slashed .228/.293/.360 with 18 RBI across 209 plate appearances, though he does have MLB experience -- he played 21 games with Miami in 2021. He'll now be called upon to give the Marlins some extra infield depth as Vidal Brujan (shoulder) lands on the injured list. Xavier Edwards (back) is trending toward a return from the injured list in early September, however, so Devers' stay in Miami may be short.

Devers was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Tuesday. Devers made his MLB debut in 2021 but spent last season at Double-A Pensacola, and the Marlins won't keep him on the 40-man roster after he posted a .210/.265/.313 slash line in 58 games.
