The Marlins outrighted McCaughan to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. McCaughan has been outrighted before, so he can exercise his right to free agency if he wants. The right-hander posted an unsightly 6.21 ERA over 42 frames between the Marlins and Guardians in 2024.

McCaughan came away with a no-decision in Sunday's loss to Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five. The right-hander was lifted after 67 pitches (43 strikes), the fourth time in five September outings that McCaughan has failed to last five innings. He's stumbled to a 5.91 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 21.1 innings on the month, but the Marlins don't have any better healthy options to fill their rotation to close out the season. McCaughan lines up to make his final start on the road this weekend in Toronto.

McCaughan didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four. McCaughan got through the first two innings unscathed before he was tagged for four runs in the third on a Shohei Ohtani homer and a Max Muncy double. He'd allow a fifth run on a Miguel Rojas solo shot in the fourth. McCaughan has yet to make it past the fifth inning in his four starts with the Marlins. His ERA is up to 7.33 with a 1.67 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 27 innings. McCaughan will look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus Atlanta.
