The Marlins claimed Gillispie off waivers from Atlanta on Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie allowed two runs with an 8:5 K:BB over eight innings covering three appearances with the Guardians in 2024 in his first major-league stint. The 27-year-old split his time between the rotation and bullpen last year at Triple-A Columbus, and it's not clear what role the Marlins have planned for him.

Atlanta designated Gillispie for assignment Thursday, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie signed a one-year deal with Atlanta earlier this winter with hopes of earning a spot in the team's starting rotation or in the bullpen as a long reliever. Instead, he'll be put on waivers to make room for Jurickson Profar, who agreed to a three-year deal with Atlanta on Thursday. The 27-year-old Gillispie fared well in a small sample size with the Guardians last season, allowing just two earned runs over eight innings, and he finished with a 4.05 ERA in Triple-A over 113.1 frames.

Gillispie signed a one-year deal with Atlanta on Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie spent most of the 2024 regular-season with Triple-A Columbus, and over 27 games (including 15 starts) he went 5-7 with a 4.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 119:48 K:BB across 113.1 innings. He did make three appearances for the Guardians during the regular season, and across eight innings of work he allowed two runs on four hits and five walks while striking out eight batters. Gillispie will have an opportunity to carve out a role for himself either in Atlanta's starting rotation or out of the bullpen as a potential long-relief option.

The Guardians non-tendered Gillispie on Friday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie was dropped from the Guardians' 40-man roster Tuesday, and he'll now enter the open market after not receiving a contract offer from Cleveland ahead of Friday's deadline. The right-hander logged a 4.05 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 113.1 innings in the minors last season.

The Guardians designated Gillispie for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie yielded just two earned runs over eight MLB innings in 2024, but he also logged a 4.05 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 113.1 Triple-A frames. His 40-man spot will be handed to Nic Enright, who consequentially is protected from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft.

The Guardians optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie tossed two scoreless innings in the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Royals, but he's being sent back down ahead of the nightcap. The starter of the second game, Logan Allen, was called up from Triple-A to take Gillispie's roster spot.

The Guardians recalled Gillispie from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The addition of Gillispie gives the Guardians a fresh arm out of the bullpen for Thursday's series finale at Yankee Stadium after long relievers Pedro Avila and Eli Morgan were both needed for two innings in Wednesday's 8-1 loss. Gillispie was up with the Guardians earlier this month and made his MLB debut Aug. 4 against the Orioles, striking out three and allowing one run over three innings.

The Guardians returned Gillispie to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gillespie was sent back to Columbus after he served as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks, only to go unused in both ends of the twin bill. The Guardians have another doubleheader on tap Friday versus the Twins, but Joey Cantillo was called up from Triple-A to serve as the 27th man this time around.

The Guardians recalled Gillispie from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Guardians two days later since Cleveland is designating him as its 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks. The right-handed reliever will presumably head back to Columbus once the twin bill is completed.

The Guardians optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gillispie was brought up to the big club Sunday and gave up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out three over three innings of relief in his MLB debut in Cleveland's 9-5 loss to Baltimore. Since he was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for at least the next couple of days, Gillispie will move off the active roster to clear room for Logan Allen, who was called up from Columbus to start Monday against the Diamondbacks. Gillispie has logged a 4.01 ERA across 89.2 innings for Columbus this season.
