Twins' Darren McCaughan: MiLB contract with Minnesota
The Twins signed McCaughan to a minor-league contract Dec. 4.
McCaughan, 28, held a 6.21 ERA over 42 innings between the Marlins and Guardians in 2024. The right-hander has experience as a starter and a reliever, and it's unclear which role the Twins have planned for him, but he'll likely begin the 2025 season at Triple-A St. Paul.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Fans five in no-decision
McCaughan came away with a no-decision in Sunday's loss to Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander was lifted after 67 pitches (43 strikes), the fourth time in five September outings that McCaughan has failed to last five innings. He's stumbled to a 5.91 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 21.1 innings on the month, but the Marlins don't have any better healthy options to fill their rotation to close out the season. McCaughan lines up to make his final start on the road this weekend in Toronto.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Early exit vs. Dodgers
McCaughan didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
McCaughan got through the first two innings unscathed before he was tagged for four runs in the third on a Shohei Ohtani homer and a Max Muncy double. He'd allow a fifth run on a Miguel Rojas solo shot in the fourth. McCaughan has yet to make it past the fifth inning in his four starts with the Marlins. His ERA is up to 7.33 with a 1.67 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 27 innings. McCaughan will look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus Atlanta.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Allows three runs in no decision
McCaughan came away with the no-decision in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings while striking out one.
McCaughan got off to a rough start, giving up three runs in the first inning before settling down and getting through the next four frames unscathed. McCaughan was making his third straight start and completed five innings for the first time this year. The 28-year-old has yet to strikeout more than four hitters in any of his eight appearances this season and carries a 7.06 ERA through 29.1 innings.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Can't hang on for first win
McCaughan came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Phillies, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits over 4.2 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.
The 28-year-old righty was mostly effective, but he left the mound after 73 pitches (52 strikes) one out short of qualifying for his first MLB win. McCaughan appears likely to plug a hole in Miami's injury-plagued rotation for the rest of September, but if he continues to be capped at around 75 pitches, wins will be hard to come by even if his performance continues to improve. Over 13.2 big-league innings since the beginning of August, he's posted a 3.95 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB. McCaughan is scheduled to make his next start on the road next week against the Nationals.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Drawing another start
McCaughan is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Phillies in Miami.
The 28-year-old righty will make his second straight turn through the rotation after he took a no-decision while giving up four runs (three earned) over four innings versus the Giants last Sunday. Over six total appearances in the big leagues this season between the Marlins and Guardians, McCaughan owns an 8.24 ERA, 1.98 WHIP and 10:10 K:BB across 19.2 innings.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Yields four runs
McCaughan allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over four-plus innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Giants. He struck out two.
McCaughan gave up two runs through four frames, including a leadoff shot by Mike Yastrzemski. McCaughan was pulled after putting the first two batters on base to begin the fifth inning and was charged with both runs. It was his first MLB appearance since Aug. 8 and third since the start of August. In those three outings, he's posted a 4.00 ERA with a 7:1 K:BB over nine frames. It's unclear if he'll get another turn through the rotation, but McCaughan is tentatively lined up for a home start against the Phillies this weekend.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Called up, will start Sunday
The Marlins recalled McCaughan from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. He'll start in the Marlins' series finale in San Francisco against the Giants.
McCaughan will take over the rotation spot that previously belonged to Roddery Munoz, who was optioned to Jacksonville on Wednesday. The 28-year-old right-hander has previously made five appearances at the big-league level this season between Cleveland and Miami, logging an 8.62 ERA and 2.11 WHIP over 15.2 innings. He performed much better over his 11 starts with Jacksonville (4.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 59:18 K:BB in 53.2 innings), but McCaughan doesn't make for a reliable streaming option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Guardians' Darren McCaughan: Loses 40-man spot
The Guardians designated McCaughan for assignment Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
McCaughan will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Gavin Williams (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Since the Guardians acquired him from the Marlins on May 9, McCaughan made two appearances out of the Cleveland bullpen, giving up six earned runs on nine hits and six walks over six innings. He'll stick around in the organization as starting depth at Triple-A Columbus if he clears waivers.

After being recalled by the big club Thursday, McCaughan pitched four innings against the Royals on Friday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out one. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for right-hander Eli Morgan (elbow), who was activated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.
