Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Sent packing from big-league camp
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
The 22-year-old is heading into his second season as a member of the Marlins' 40-man roster but is still waiting to make his MLB debut. Before garnering a look in the big leagues, De Los Santos will need to tap into more power after taking a step backward at Jacksonville during 2025. After posting a .277 ISO between Double-A and Triple-A in 2024, De Los Santos dropped all the way down to .119 over his 440 plate appearances with Jacksonville last season.

Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Nursing quad strain
Rotowire
Triple-A Jacksonville placed De Los Santos on the 7-day injured list Saturday with a left quad strain, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Given De Los Santos' defensive shortcomings, he wasn't necessarily pushing for a promotion prior to the injury, as he was slashing .250/.317/.399 with five home runs and a 30.5 percent strikeout rate through 40 games in a repeat of Triple-A. He has started 30 games at first base and five games at third base. All three of the players (Eric Wagaman, Matt Mervis, Jonah Bride) to get time at first base for Miami have been below replacement level, per FanGraphs, so De Los Santos will likely still get a shot sometime in the second half.
Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: Optioned to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
De Los Santos slashed .263/.308/.520 with 26 home runs and 83 RBI across 422 total plate appearances in Triple-A last year. That level of offensive production wasn't on display this spring, as he'll finish Grapefruit League play 2-for-11 across six games while striking out six times -- something that's long been a problem for the 21-year-old. If De Los Santos is able to get back on track quickly, he could get an opportunity in the majors as Miami's DH or at first base.
Marlins' Deyvison De Los Santos: May begin season at Triple-A
Rotowire
De Los Santos seems likely to begin the season with Triple-A Jacksonville, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Acquired from the Diamondbacks in the A.J. Puk trade, the 21-year-old led the minors in home runs last season with 40 over 137 games split between Double-A and Triple-A, and he could provide a power-starved Marlins lineup with a legitimate long-ball threat if he can win a starting job in spring training. De Los Santos also struck out 144 times in those 137 contests while only drawing 33 walks, however, and Miami may want him to prove his plate discipline has taken a step forward before beginning his big-league service clock. Defensively, De Los Santos will likely be limited to DH in the majors, although he did play 108 games at first base in 2024.
