Marlins' Brett Eibner: Contract selected
Eibner's contract was selected Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
He was designated for assignment two weeks ago, but with the Marlins about to play 15 games in 11 days, they need all the pitching reinforcements they can get. Eibner should be limited to mop-up duty for the most part.

Marlins' Brett Eibner: Contract selected by Marlins
Eibner's contract was selected by the Marlins on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old spent the 2016 and 2017 seasons in the majors as an outfielder, but he'll now work as a pitcher for the Marlins, likely in low-leverage situations.

Eibner was added to the Marlins' alternate training site Monday.
Eibner signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, and he'll work with the alternate squad. The team is expected to use him as a pitcher, but he's a bit of a long shot to appear in the majors during the abbreviated 2020 season.

The Marlins are expected to use him as a pitcher.

Rangers' Brett Eibner: Resumes pitching
Eibner (elbow) pitched an inning in the rookie-level Arizona League on Tuesday, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Eibner is a former outfielder who injured his elbow and needed Tommy John surgery after initially attempting a conversion to pitching while in the Dodgers' organization. The Rangers announced him as an outfielder when they signed him last December, but the transformation from the field to the mound continues.

Rangers' Brett Eibner: Agrees to deal with Texas
Eibner (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday, Jared Sandler of 105.3 The Fan reports.
Eibner will likely miss part or most of the 2018 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in early August, which was required after he attempted to convert from an outfielder to a relief pitcher for the Dodgers. It's important to note that the Rangers announced Eibner as an outfielder during his signing, which dispels any notion that he will try to return as a pitcher. He'll have a much faster recovery from the surgery as a position player anyway. During 17 big-league games with Los Angeles in 2017, he slashed .182/.250/.364 with two home runs and six RBI.

Brett Eibner: Let go by Dodgers
Eibner (elbow) was released by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of TrueBlueLA.com reports.
Eibner was cut loose after being designated for assignment earlier in the week. The 28-year-old slashed .182/.250/.364 with two homers in 17 games with the Dodgers this season. Eibner underwent Tommy John surgery at the beginning of August, so he isn't expected to return until late next season.

Dodgers' Brett Eibner: Designated for assignment
Eibner (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Friday.
Just a month after undergoing Tommy John surgery, Eibner was handed a DFA in order to make room for September call-ups on the active roster. This was a somewhat expected move considering he won't be returning to the field until late next season. During 17 games with the Dodgers this season, Eibner hit .182/.250/.364 with a pair of home runs and six RBI.

Dodgers' Brett Eibner: Out for year following TJ surgery
Eibner (elbow) will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery Tuesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
There was some speculation earlier in the year that Eibner could develop as a pitcher a bit and act as a hybrid outfielder/reliever for Los Angeles at some point, but this likely puts the kibosh on those plans. The 28-year-old will likely be able to return to action much earlier as a hitter than as a pitcher, but this appears to be an extended absence for him either way.

Dodgers' Brett Eibner: Heads back to minors
Eibner was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Eibner has struggled mightily during his brief tenure in the big leagues this season, and with the Dodgers getting Justin Turner back from the disabled list Friday, Eibner was an easy choice to send back to the minors. He'll continue to act as organizational outfield depth until injuries arise in Los Angeles again.

Dodgers' Brett Eibner: Smacks two-run homer Friday
Eibner went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in a 7-2 win over the Marlins on Friday.
Just recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in the wake of Justin Turner's hamstring injury, Eibner paid immediate dividends, taking Justin Nicolino deep with a 403-foot shot to center in the fourth. The 28-year-old has slashed .308/.400/.769 in 13 games with the big-league club overall this season and should see solid playing time during his current stint.
