Dean was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Thursday, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dean slashed .337/.401/.635 with 18 home runs in 73 games with Triple-A New Orleans last season, but he failed to translate that production to the majors. The 26-year-old played in 64 games for the Marlins last year but only managed a .261 OBP with six home runs and 21 RBI. While he's been a productive minor-leaguer in the past, he'll need to generate more output at the top level in order to secure a consistent major-league roster spot.

Dean went 1-for-4 with a home run, one RBI and one run scored in the Marlins' 5-3 win over the Nationals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Dean ignited a seventh-inning rally for the Marlins as he opened up the inning with a solo shot to left off Hunter Strickland to tighten the score to 3-2. The Marlins ended up scoring three more runs that inning to take a 5-3 lead. Dean is capping off the 2019 season with a bang as he now has a hit in five straight games as well as two home runs and seven RBI. He has upped his slash line to .224/.261/.401 through 161 plate appearances on the season and figures to see regular time in either left field or at first base to close out 2019.

Dean went 1-for-4 with a walk, double and three RBI Saturday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Dean delivered the majority of the Marlins' offense with one swing of the bat, clubbing a three-RBI double deep to left field in the eighth inning. While his .223/.261/.385 line across 56 games is hardly impressive, Dean has put together some strong performances of late. Notable, he is now riding a four-game hitting streak, during which he's driven in six and scored five runs.

Dean went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Dean hit a solo homer off Mike Leake in the fourth inning to cut the Marlins' deficit to one. The long ball was the fourth of the season for the 25-year-old outfielder, who is batting .220/.255/.376 across 54 games.

Dean went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, three runs scored and two RBI in the Marlins' 12-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dean did his part on a big day for the Miami offense, stroking two of his team's eight doubles for the game. It was a nice performance, but it was just the fourth multi-hit game of the season for Dean, who still sports a meager .219/.255/.358 slash line in 53 games.

Dean went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Dean knotted the score at 2-2 with a solo home run off Alex Wood in the fifth inning. After getting called up from Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday to replace Brian Anderson (finger), Dean has started in all but one game. Through 38 contests this season, he's batting just .210/.216/.350 with three long balls.

Dean is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dean drew back-to-back starts in left field to close out the weekend series with Philadelphia but failed to do much with the opportunity, going 0-for-5 between the two contests. The Marlins have a regular opening in the starting nine with Brian Anderson (finger) recently going down with a season-ending injury, but manager Don Mattingly may simply choose to rotate multiple players in and out of the lineup rather than settling on a regular replacement for Anderson.
