Rotowire
The Marlins outrighted Go to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Go was designated for assignment last week and after clearing waivers, he'll stick around in the Marlins organization at Jacksonville. The 25-year-old owns a 3.00 ERA in nine innings with Jacksonville and has yet to make his MLB debut.

Marlins' Woo-suk Go: Designated for assignment

The Marlins designated Go for assignment Thursday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Shaun Anderson, who was acquired via trade from the Rangers. Go was just picked up in a trade himself in the deal earlier this month that sent Luis Arraez to the Padres. The 25-year-old has spent the duration of the season in the minors, posting a 3.80 ERA and 18:6 K:BB over 21.1 innings between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A Jacksonville.

Marlins' Woo-suk Go: Sent to Miami in Arraez deal
Rotowire
The Padres traded Go, Dillon Head, Nathan Martorella and Jakob Marsee to the Marlins on Friday in exchange for Luis Arraez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
The Padres signed Go to a two-year deal in January with the expectation that he would serve as a high-leverage option out of the bullpen. However, a poor performance during spring training caused the 25-year-old reliever to be optioned to Triple-A and later demoted again to Double-A San Antonio, where he has posted a 4.38 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with a 15:4 K:BB through 12.1 innings. The Marlins may be willing to give Go a chance in the majors given their depleted pitching staff and relatively weak bullpen, but his Double-A stats don't spark much optimism.
The Marlins optioned Go to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
Go was part of the Padres' trade package to acquire Luis Arraez on Friday. Before the trade, Go was demoted to Double-A San Antonio, where he has posted a 4.38 ERA and 1.49 WHIP over 12.1 frames. He'll start his career in the Marlins' system with Triple-A Jacksonville and look to work his way to the big club.
The Padres optioned Go to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Go had been a candidate to pitch in high-leverage situations when he signed a two-year deal with the Padres in January, but he will instead head to the minors after giving up six runs in 4.1 innings during Cactus League play. Go's stay in the minors doesn't figure to be a long one -- it's likely San Diego promotes him to its bullpen once the 25-year-old is able to build some positive momentum versus Triple-A hitters.
