TransactionMarlins claimed RHP Garrett Acton off waivers from the Rockies.
Acton was designated for assignment back on January 22nd, so it’s unclear why this move is just happening now. The Rockies needed to clear room to sign Willi Castro, and Acton had earlier been claimed off waivers from the Rays after pitching to a 3.68 ERA and a 71/27 K/BB in 58 2/3 innings for Triple-A Durham last season. He has a chance to win a job in the Marlins bullpen.
