Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Chirinos for assignment Tuesday.
The move comes one day after Chirinos was roughed up for five runs on nine hits and four walks over five innings in a loss to the Mets. He's held a 6.30 ERA over six starts for Miami this season and seems likely to clear waivers.

Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Roughed up in loss
Rotowire
Chirinos (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five earned runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out four in five innings.
Chirinos was hoping to rebound after a brutal start his last time out in which he allowed three long balls and seven earned runs, but Monday's outing wasn't much better as the right-hander yielded two more home runs. The 30-year-old has failed to find his footing in 2024, logging a dismal 6.30 ERA and 1.87 WHIP with a 25:13 K:BB in 30 innings. The right-hander will not be a recommended fantasy option for his next start, currently scheduled for this weekend in Milwaukee.
Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Struggles early in Cincinnati
Rotowire
Chirinos (0-1) took the loss Friday against the Reds, allowing seven runs on eight hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out one.
He served up three homers through the first three innings, including a Rece Hinds grand slam in the third. It's the first loss in five starts this year for Chirinos, but he hadn't allowed more than three runs in an outing prior to Friday. The 30-year-old right-hander's ERA is now up to 5.76 with a 1.72 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB across 25 innings. Despite those numbers, Chirinos is expected to remain in the Marlins' injury-ravaged rotation following the All-Star break.
Chirinos allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.
Chirinos went five innings for the third time in his four starts this season. It was a fairly neutral performance for the right-hander, who is still looking for his first decision this season. He's maintained a 4.19 ERA with a 1.60 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB across 19.1 innings. Chirinos is projected to make his next start in Cincinnati -- a hitter-friendly park makes that a challenging matchup for the 30-year-old.
Chirinos came away with a no-decision in Sunday's loss to the Phillies, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings while striking out four.
The damage against the right-hander could have been worse considering all the traffic he put on the basepaths, but it was still a shaky effort from Chirinos. He's made three starts for the Marlins and has at least pitched into the fifth inning in each outing, helping to take a little pressure off the team's overtaxed bullpen. Chirinos sports a 3.77 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB through 14.1 innings for Miami, and he lines up to make his next trip to the mound at home this weekend against the White Sox.
Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Yields one run in no-decision
Rotowire
Chirinos allowed one run on three hits and three walks over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Tuesday. He struck out five.
Chirinos looked solid again in his second start this season, punching out five with eight whiffs in a 78-pitch performance. Considering Miami's injury woes in the rotation, the 30-year-old right-hander should remain a starter, as he's posted a 2.70 ERA with 11:3 K:BB over 10 innings so far. Chirinos currently lines up for a difficult opponent in his next outing as he draws the Phillies on the road this weekend.

Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Chirinos is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Royals in Kansas City.
He'll make another turn through the Miami rotation after he acquitted himself well in his Marlins debut this past Wednesday against the Cardinals, striking out six while allowing two runs on eight hits and no walks over five innings in a no-decision. With the Miami pitching staff having been decimated by injuries of late, Chirinos should have the opportunity to stick in the rotation beyond Tuesday if he continues to perform reasonably well.

Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Solid in Marlins debut
Rotowire
Chirinos didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on eight hits over five innings. He struck out six.
Both runs against Chirinos came in the second inning where he allowed four straight hits to lead off the frame, including a Nolan Gorman homer. Otherwise, the 30-year-old right-hander was sharp in his 2024 debut, putting the Marlins in position for an eventual 4-3 victory. Chirinos pitched to a 5.40 ERA across 85 innings between Atlanta and Tampa Bay last season, though he pitched well with Triple-A Jacksonville this year, posting a 3.00 ERA over 12 starts. With Miami still dealing with a rash of injuries to their starting pitchers, Chirinos could warrant a longer look in the rotation. He's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Royals early next week.

Rotowire
The Marlins selected Chirinos' contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.
Chirinos will get the start for Miami on Wednesday versus the Cardinals. The veteran right-hander has spent all of the 2024 season with Jacksonville, collecting a 3.00 ERA and 47:23 K:BB over 66 frames covering 12 starts. He could earn additional starts for the Marlins if he pitches well.

Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
The Marlins will promote Chirinos from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday to start against the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Chirinos signed a minor-league deal with the Marlins during the offseason and has spent all season at Triple-A, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 66 innings over 12 starts. He'll now get another look in the big leagues, and a strong outing versus St. Louis could allow him to make a second start considering the Marlins' injury-hampered rotation.

Marlins' Yonny Chirinos: Latches on with Miami
Rotowire
Chirinos signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Chirinos was effective across 25 starts combined between the 2018 and 2019 seasons with the Rays, but a combination of struggles on the field and a serious elbow injury have derailed his opportunity in the majors since then. The Marlins have a deep rotation so Chirinos isn't likely to find immediate opportunity, though he could be a leading candidate for spot starts when injuries occur if he can stick in the organization.

Yonny Chirinos: Cast aside by Atlanta
Rotowire
Chirinos (elbow) was non-tendered by Atlanta on Friday, MLB.com reports.
He didn't pitch after Aug. 19 due to elbow inflammation. Chirinos tallied a 5.40 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 85 innings while splitting time between Atlanta and the Rays in 2023.
Chirinos (elbow) was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Tuesday.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Penn Murfee. Chirinos had seemed likely to be non-tendered, anyway, after posting a 5.40 ERA over 20 appearances for Tampa Bay and Atlanta in 2023. He ended the season on the 60-day injured list with an elbow problem and it's not clear what his current health status is.
