Marlins Designate Rob Brantly For Assignment
Briefly

Catcher Rob Brantly has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list but designated for assignment by the Marlins instead of returning to the active roster. At 36 years old, Brantly played three games in April, achieving a 3-for-7 batting average, before a lat strain led to his longer stint on the injured list. Across ten major league seasons, he has participated in just 141 games and has a career batting average of .226. The Marlins face a five-day deadline to decide Brantly's future.
