Marlins righty Matt Andriese cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville, according to the MLB.com transaction log. He has the service time to decline the assignment in favor of free agency, although it isn't clear if he'll do so.
Andriese could well decide to stick with the organization after signing a minor league deal over the winter. The 34-year-old got back to the majors this spring for the first time since 2021.
Miami called Andriese to the majors before he had a chance to pitch in Triple-A this season. He spent all of last year at the top minor league level, working 93 2/3 frames with the Dodgers' affiliate.
His 18.6% strikeout rate was below the league average, although he showed strong control by walking fewer than 6% of opponents.
