Right-hander Tyler Zuber is heading back to the Marlins on a minor league deal, according to the transaction log on his MLB.com profile page. Zuber was outrighted off the 40-man roster in early November. Since he had been outrighted before in his career, he had the option to elect free agency, which he exercised. Miami grabbed Zuber off waivers from the Mets in early July. He gave up two runs over two innings in his lone appearance with New York.

Ohtani initially began facing batters in simulated games of one and two innings. But there then was a shift to effectively continue the rehab process with the Dodgers in Major League games. Ohtani made his Dodgers pitching debut against the San Diego Padres on June 16, throwing one inning. He repeated a one-inning start six days later and has been on a steady progression since that point.
