The Marlins selected Lindgren's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Saturday's doubleheader with the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Miami is designating Lindgren as its 27th man for the doubleheader in Cleveland, so he'll presumably be sent back to Triple-A immediately following the twin bill. Devin Smeltzer is making a spot start in Game 1 but is just three days removed from making a 23-pitch relief appearance, so he'll likely be in line for a limited workload. Lindgren, who most recently covered five frames in a start for Jacksonville on April 15, could be the top option to eat innings once Smeltzer exits the game.
