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
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.

Rotowire
Marisnick signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Dec. 13.
Marisnick played 46 games with the White Sox, Tigers and Dodgers last season and had a .237/.280/.408 slash line. The veteran outfielder should serve as organizational depth in 2024 and has an outside chance at making the Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder.

Dodgers' Jake Marisnick: Gets MLB deal from Dodgers
Rotowire
Marisnick signed a one-year contract with the Dodgers on Thursday, Kenny Van Doren of Bally Sports Midwest reports.
Marisnick elected free agency after being removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster and has quickly found a new home. The veteran outfielder could give the Dodgers a platoon mate for James Outman in center field. Marisnick is a career .228/.281/.385 hitter over parts of 11 major-league seasons.

Jake Marisnick: Becomes free agent
Rotowire
Marisnick elected free agency after clearing waivers Thursday.
Marisnick was designated for assignment by Detroit on Sunday to make room for Trey Wingenter, and now Marisnick will look to latch on with another club. The 32-year-old outfielder is slashing .225/.263/.408 through 77 plate appearances this season and figures to serve as a bench piece for the team that signs him.

Rotowire
Marisnick was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Sunday.
Marisnick had a .690 OPS in 33 games for the Tigers since being acquired from the White Sox in late May, and he's now lost his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Trey Wingenter was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Tigers' Jake Marisnick: Settling back into bench role
Rotowire
Marisnick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Marisnick had started in center field in three of the Tigers' last four games, but his opportunities will likely become more sparse moving forward after Detroit recently brought back Akil Baddoo and Riley Greene from the injured list. Manager A.J. Hinch frequently rests Baddoo and fellow left-handed hitter Kerry Carpenter against southpaws, so the right-handed-hitting Marisnick could be a candidate to make occasional starts when the platoon advantage is in his favor.

Tigers' Jake Marisnick: Goes deep in rout
Rotowire
Marisnick went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Athletics. He also stole a base.
Marisnick provided plenty of offense from the No. 9 spot in the lineup, recording his second home run and second stolen base of the season. That production has all come in the last six games, as he had no long balls or steals in his first 35 games of the year, during which he batted just .196. The outfielder is now batting .221 after this recent stretch of improved play.

Tigers' Jake Marisnick: Launches grand slam
Rotowire
Marisnick went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Sunday's 14-9 win over the Rockies.
Marisnick slugged the Tigers' second slam of the day, padding their lead to 14-6 in the top of the eighth inning. The outfielder has gone just 7-for-33 (.212) over 19 contests since his last multi-hit effort, though he's also seen a lot of time in a bench role in that span. With Riley Greene (fibula) close to beginning a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo and Akil Baddoo (quad) already playing rehab games, Marisnick's playing time could be set for a further decline soon. The veteran outfielder is slashing .210/.258/.355 with a homer, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base through 67 plate appearances between the Tigers and the White Sox this year.

Tigers' Jake Marisnick: Picks up first steal
Rotowire
Marisnick went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Rockies.
Marisnick has found playing time sparse over the last few weeks. He hasn't made a great case to get in the lineup more often, as he's hit .192 (10-for-52) in June. The veteran outfielder's steal Friday was his first successful theft in three attempts this year. He's slashing a poor .207/.258/.310 with no home runs, three RBI and six runs scored over 63 plate appearances between the Tigers and the White Sox.

Tigers' Jake Marisnick: Hits bench in Vierling's return
Rotowire
Marisnick is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Marisnick had started in center field in nine of the Tigers' last 10 games, but he batted just .222/.276/.259 over 29 plate appearances. The Tigers remain without Riley Greene (fibula), but with Matt Vierling (back) making his return from the 10-day injured list Monday, Marisnick could settle into more of a fourth-outfielder role moving forward.

Tigers' Jake Marisnick: On bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Marisnick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Akil Baddoo will slide over from left field to fill in for Marisnick, who had started in center field in each of the last six games while going 3-for-16 with seven strikeouts. Despite his lack of production at the plate, Marisnick's defensive prowess may be enough for him to stick around as a regular in the Detroit outfield until the Tigers get Matt Vierling (back) and Riley Greene (fibula) back from the injured list.

Tigers' Jake Marisnick: Starting series finale
Rotowire
Marisnick is starting in center field and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Marisnick will be making his fourth straight start since joining the Tigers last week, and he looks to be the team's primary option in center field for the time being with Riley Greene (leg) and Matt Vierling (back) both on the injured list. Marisnick is a stronger defensive player than he is as a hitter, but he may have some short-term fantasy value in AL-only leagues as long as he's playing regularly.
