The Marlins activated Conley (undisclosed) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and designated him for assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Conley had yet to make an appearance out of the Miami bullpen in 2020 after being placed on the IL back on Aug. 4 due to the unspecified issue. The lefty reliever underwhelmed over 60 outings in 2019, submitting a 6.53 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 53:29 K:BB. The transaction should give the Marlins some extra flexibility leading up to Monday's trade deadline, when the team could add more players to the 40-man roster.

Conley was placed on the 10-day injured list, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conley was among the 13 Marlins placed on the injured list ahead of the team's return to play after a COVID-19 outbreak. However, a specific reason for Conley's placement on the injured list wasn't announced.

Conley posted a 3.52 ERA and 8:4 K:BB through 7.2 innings this spring before MLB was put on pause.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old is coming off a rough 2019, but his performance two years ago suggests he can still be an effective option for the Marlins, if not necessarily a high-leverage one. Conley's main competition for the role of top left-hander in the bullpen is offseason acquisition Stephen Tarpley, but neither one appeared to have a decisive advantage when camp was suspended. Conley's experience and lack of minor-league options would likely give him the edge if the club only has room on the 26-man roster for one of them.

Conley agreed to a one-year, $1.525 million deal with the Marlins on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is Conley's second of four years as an arbitration-eligible player. He has been worth 2.5 fWAR in 414.1 innings over the past five years.

Conley got the final out of Thursday's 9-2 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw entered the game after Tayron Guerrero ran into trouble and got Charlie Culberson to pop out, but Conley had to work for it in a seven-pitch at-bat. The usage highlights how far down in the bullpen pecking order he has fallen after being considered a potential closing option in the spring -- his last hold came in late May, and he's been deployed in increasingly low-leverage spots ever since. On the season, Conley has a 6.56 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 46.2 innings.

Conley gave up one hit and struck out seven over three scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has had a mostly rough 2019, sitting with a 7.20 ERA even after Tuesday's performance, but this was still an encouraging outing for Conley. The Marlins have plenty of rotation depth and aren't likely to start experimenting with openers or bullpen days, but given that he's a converted starter, using Conley as something other than a traditional one-inning setup man could be an option for the club in the second half.

Conley (1-7) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins fell 2-1 to the Cardinals, giving up a walkoff solo home run to Paul Goldschmidt in the 11th inning.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins were hoping Conley could emerge as a late-inning shutdown weapon for their bullpen this season, but instead the left-hander has been a disaster, stumbling to an 8.00 ERA and 1.74 WHIP through 27 innings with a 23:12 K:BB. Conley's been taken deep in three of his last five appearances and been scored upon in six of his last nine, and there's no reason to have him anywhere near a fantasy roster right now even as a speculative saves play.

Conley earned the save by recording the final two outs in Saturday's win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Conley entered the game with the bases empty but things weren't easy as he needed 15 pitches for the pair of outs despite retiring both batters he faced. The save is the 28-year-old's second in as many chances, with the first coming in his fourth outing of the year April 6. Conley has a 6.48 ERA and 1.62 WHIP but is likely to continue being utilized as a high-leverage option by the Marlins.

Conley (1-3) picked up the win Monday over the Cubs, giving up a hit and striking out one in a scoreless eighth inning.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins were down 4-3 when the southpaw took the mound, but three runs in the top of the ninth turned things around and gave Conley his first win of the year. He now sports a 6.39 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB through 12.2 innings, but Miami will likely continue to use him in a high-leverage role given the upside he's shown since transitioning to the bullpen.

Conley faced one batter in Friday's win over the Nationals, getting Juan Soto to pop out to record his third hold of the season.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty remains firmly in the late-inning mix for the Marlins despite his 7.71 ERA and 2.14 WHIP through seven innings. Conley has made 10 appearances and has a save to go along with his holds, although he's also been tagged with two losses. His poor ratios are at least partially due to bad luck -- he has a .423 BABIP against -- and Conley's 96.2 mph fastball average is the highest of his career, so his numbers should improve over the summer.
