Orioles' Jhan Marinez: Rehab to begin Monday
Rotowire
Marinez (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with the Orioles' Gulf Coast League affiliate, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Marinez has been out since early August with a hamstring strain. Given the relatively short length of the injury, it's likely that his rehab assignment won't be too long, leaving him ready to return sometime in the middle of next week.

Orioles' Jhan Marinez: Suffers hamstring injury
Rotowire

He gave up two runs on two hits and three walks in the fourth inning and came back out to eat some innings in the fifth inning but was unable to get through his warm-up pitches. For now he should be considered day-to-day, although he could end up on the disabled list.

Orioles' Jhan Marinez: Joins big-league club
Rotowire
Marinez's contract was purchased from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.
Baltimore needed a fresh arm for the bullpen, and it will turn to Marinez. He had a 2.78 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 46 strikeouts in 45.1 innings at Triple-A, working primarily as a reliever. The Orioles had an open spot on the 40-man roster, so no corresponding move was needed there.

Orioles' Jhan Marinez: Headed to big-league spring training
Rotowire
Marinez will attend Baltimore's major-league spring training as a non-roster invitee.
Despite being designated for assignment by the Brewers, Pirates and Rangers during the 2017 season, Marinez pitched 58.1 innings over 43 games and finished the season with a respectable 3.70 ERA. While his 1.54 WHIP and 9.9 percent walk-rate suggests that his control has room for improvement, Marinez could open the year in the big club's bullpen with a productive spring training.

Orioles' Jhan Marinez: Agrees to minors pact with Orioles
Rotowire
Marinez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Marinez was designated for assignment by each of the three teams he played for last season -- the Brewers, Pirates and Rangers. He ended the 2017 campaign with a 3.70 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 45:26 K:BB across 58.1 major-league innings. Given his prior big-league experience, the right-handed reliever should compete for a spot in the Orioles' bullpen in spring training.

Rangers' Jhan Marinez: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Marinez was assigned outright to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
The right-handed reliever was designated for assignment for a third time this season Friday, but unlike the previous two instances, he went unclaimed off waivers this time around. Marinez, who has compiled a 3.70 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 58.1 innings in the big leagues this season, will presumably finish out the campaign with Round Rock before hitting free agency this winter.

Rangers' Jhan Marinez: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Marinez was designated for assignment on Friday.
The Rangers needed to clear room on the 40-man roster for some roster additions, and Marinez was a casualty. He has a 3.70 ERA and 45 strikeouts across stops with the Brewers, Pirates and Rangers this season.

Rangers' Jhan Marinez: Pitches in garbage time Tuesday
Rotowire
Marinez covered 1.1 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Angels, giving up one hit and hitting a batter with a pitch. He also notched a strikeout.
Since joining the Rangers via a waiver claim earlier this month, Marinez has made three appearances, conceding two runs over 5.1 innings. Though injuries to Keone Kela (shoulder) and Matt Bush (knee, concussion) have left the Rangers short on setup arms, it's not expected that Marinez will warrant much consideration for those duties. Instead, it's likely Marinez's usage will be relegated to mostly low-leverage situations, as was the case Tuesday amid the blowout loss.

Pirates' Jhan Marinez: Scuffling in recent appearances
Rotowire
Marinez has allowed five runs on 10 hits over hist last five innings pitched.
The 28-year-old has pitched better since joining the Pirates in mid-May, but there's still been plenty of ups and downs. Marinez has made 19 appearances with the Pirates and has a 3.51 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 19 strikeouts across 25.2 innings. The right-hander has yet to show enough consistency this season to garner much interest in standard formats.

Pirates' Jhan Marinez: Change of location paying dividends
Rotowire
Marinez has pitched 14.1 innings in nine games with a 2.51 ERA and 1.33 WHIP since being claimed off waivers by the Pirates in the middle of May.
Marinez benefited from a change of scenery this season when he went from Milwaukee to Pittsburgh. With the Brewers, he gave up 10 runs in 16.2 innings for an ERA of 5.40 to go along with a WHIP of 2.04. Now for the season as a whole, he has lowered his ERA and WHIP to 4.06 and 1.71.

Pirates' Jhan Marinez: Makes first appearance for Bucs on Monday
Rotowire
Marinez threw 2.2 scoreless innings Monday in his debut for the Pirates. He allowed two hits and two walks without striking out a batter.
He loaded the bases in his final inning before Daniel Hudson relieved him and recorded the third out. Marinez offers a sinking fastball, which the organization believes can become an effective weapon. Milwaukee released him recently after he allowed 23 hits and 11 walks in 16.2 innings. He'll likely continue to work in low-leverage spots as the team attempts to turn his season around.

Pirates' Jhan Marinez: Added to roster
Rotowire
Marinez has been added to the 25-man roster and will be available Saturday against the Phillies.
The 28-year-old will be in uniform Saturday after being claimed off waivers earlier in the week. Marinez was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday after a rocky start to the season, but he was a serviceable reliever in 2016 with a 3.18 ERA over 62.1 innings. He figures to slot into a middle-relief role, and his 94 mph fastball could be a valuable weapon in the Pirates bullpen if he improves his location (5.94 BB/9 this season).

Pirates' Jhan Marinez: Claimed by Pirates
Rotowire
Marinez was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Friday, MLB.com's Adam Berry reports.
After being designated for assignment by Milwaukee earlier in the week, the 28-year-old has found a landing spot in Pittsburgh. He did struggle over his 15 appearances with the Brewers this season, notching a 5.40 ERA and an astronomical 2.04 WHIP in 16.2 innings. That said, Marinez was able to post a much more palatable 3.18 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 62.1 innings last season, so there's a chance he'll be able to regain his form in Pittsburgh.
