The Marlins announced a huge batch of transactions today, including the previously reported claim of right-hander Lake Bachar. They also claimed Anthony Veneziano off waivers from the Royals. They also reinstated left-hander Josh Simpson from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville. To open 40-man roster spots for those three, they designated catcher Alà Sánchez, left-hander Kent Emanuel and right-hander Emmanuel RamÃrez for assignment. Sánchez and RamÃrez were on the active roster, so those two spots will be taken by infielder Xavier Edwards, who has been reinstated from the 10-day IL, and right-hander Anthony Maldonado, who has been recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville.
More to come.
