The Marlins are promoting first baseman Deyvison De Los Santos, reports Kevin Barral of Fish On First. Miami scratched Christopher Morel from tonight’s starting lineup with a left oblique strain.
The Fish will know more about Morel’s status after he goes for imaging tomorrow. Even mild oblique strains usually require injured list stints. They tend to cause too much discomfort for hitters trying to rotate through swings. Moderate strains can cost a player more than a month.
That’ll open the first major league opportunity for De Los Santos. The 22-year-old was acquired from the Diamondbacks in the A.J. Puk deadline deal in 2024. Miami added him to the 40-man roster that offseason to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. The Guardians had actually plucked De Los Santos from the Arizona system in the prior Rule 5, but he had a tough spring and was returned to the D-Backs at the end of camp. He got out to a monster start to the ’24 season, connecting on 28 home runs across 87 games before the trade.
De los Santos’ production dropped as soon as he switched organizations. He finished the ’24 campaign with a .240/.284/.459 slash over 50 games for Miami’s top affiliate. De Los Santos spent all of last year with Triple-A Jacksonville (aside from an injury rehab assignment in A-ball). He had a below-average .241/.311/.363 slash with just 12 longballs. A left quad strain cost him five weeks between May and June.
Miami will not need to make any corresponding roster moves aside from placing Morel on the 10-day injured list. De Los Santos still holds his 40-man roster spot and will be recalled from his season-opening optional assignment to the minors. He’ll probably work as a right-handed bench bat. Connor Norby made his first career start at first base in their Opening Day win over the Rockies. Graham Pauley and utilityman Javier Sanoja could pick up some extra third base work if Norby plays first regularly while Morel is out of action.
