O'Grady (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day DL and outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady was removed from the 40-man roster in order to make room for some of the younger prospects in the club's system. The left-hander missed a majority of the 2018 season after suffering a left shoulder sprain in April.

O'Grady (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Friday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady has been on the disabled list with a left shoulder sprain since mid-April, so the move doesn't significantly affect his recovery timetable. It's unclear where exactly the 28-year-old is at in the recovery process, and he will likely require a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment after sitting out the last two months.

O'Grady was put on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to Tuesday due to a left shoulder sprain, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady will be eligible to return from the DL next Friday prior to the Marlins' series against Colorado. The southpaw appeared to have suffered the injury during his outing versus the Yankees on Tuesday, though the club has failed to describe a timetable for him at this point. In a corresponding move, Miami recalled Merandy Gonzalez from Double-A Jacksonville.

O'Grady is a frontrunner to earn a spot in the Marlins' bullpen, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady was initially vying for one of the team's final rotation spots, but manager Don Mattingly noted the team would prefer to have the 27-year-old in a more versatile bullpen role. "I think we're looking at [O'Grady] more from a reliever standpoint, but as a reliever who can do multiple things," Mattingly said. With the Marlins' top lefty reliever from 2017, Jarlin Garcia, auditioning for a starting role, O'Grady could slide in as the team's top left-handed bullpen arm while also offering the flexibility to pitch multiple innings. O'Grady held lefty hitters to a .167 average last season, though he's not viewed strictly as a specialist.

O'Grady is competing for one of the Marlins' final three rotation spots in spring training, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Dan Straily and Jose Urena entering spring as the only two locks to open the season in Miami's rotation, O'Grady is set to compete with a slew of other candidates to earn one of the team's remaining spots. He split time between the bullpen and rotation in his first taste of the majors last season, struggling to a 5.47 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across six starts (26.1 innings) but tossing 6.2 scoreless innings of relief, posting a 1.50 WHIP during that stretch.

O'Grady tossed a scoreless inning and was credited with his first hold of the season in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Since being activated from the 10-day disabled list Sept. 19 following a bout with an oblique injury, O'Grady has made three appearances in relief, tossing scoreless innings each time out. The Marlins had previously deployed the lefty in the rotation, but because of the month-long layoff due to the oblique issue, O'Grady didn't have enough time to build up his arm for a starting role and instead looks poised to work out of the bullpen during the final week of the season.

O'Grady (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady is back with the Marlins after spending more than a month on the shelf with an oblique strain. He compiled a 5.47 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 26 strikeouts in 26.1 innings prior to the injury. Now that he's healthy, it's unclear if he'll rejoin the rotation or finish the season in Miami's bullpen.

O'Grady (strained right oblique) was placed on the 10-day DL on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He left his start Monday after 1.1 innings due to the injury, and is now set for an extended absence. It is unclear who will replace him in the Marlins' rotation, but given their lack of quality depth, it is unlikely to be an intriguing option for fantasy purposes. O'Grady posted a 5.47 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 26 strikeouts in 26.1 innings (six starts) in his first season in the big leagues.

O'Grady was removed in the second inning of Monday's game against Washington after suffering what appeared to be a right oblique injury, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
O'Grady made an attempt to stay in the game but was unable to pitch through the pain. Oblique injuries can be particularly tough for pitches and could cost O'Grady multiple weeks, but until we hear more from the Washington training staff, consider him day-to-day.

O'Grady coughed up six runs on seven hits and two walks over three innings but escaped with a no-decision in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Nationals. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The Nats ambushed O'Grady in the second inning, scoring all six of their runs, but when Max Scherzer removed himself from the game in the bottom of the second due to neck spasms, the door was open for the Marlins' hitters to rally and take their young lefty off the hook for a loss. O'Grady will take a 5.40 ERA into his next start Monday, a road rematch with Washington.
