Tinoco (elbow) elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tinoco was outrighted off the Marlins' 40-man roster Wednesday and will now enter the open market while he recovers from a UCL surgery he underwent in September. He's expected to take the mound again in 2027.

The Marlins activated Tinoco (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and outrighted him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tinoco has been outrighted previously, so he has the ability to elect free agency. The right-handed reliever will be sidelined until 2027 after undergoing UCL surgery in September.

Tinoco underwent UCL reconstruction surgery on his right arm Friday, Alex Krutchik of Fish on First reports.

EDGE Analysis

The timeline for Tinoco's recovery is 13-to-14 months, which means the 30-year-old right-hander will miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from his UCL procedure. He's been on the Marlins' injured list since early June and was pulled off his throwing program in mid-August after suffering a setback during his throwing program. He appeared in 20 games out of the bullpen for the Marlins in 2025 and posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and four saves (on six chances) across 19.1 innings.

Tinoco (forearm) will undergo surgery to repair his right forearm flexor and is expected to miss most, or all, of the 2026 season, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tinoco has been on the shelf since June 6 with a strained right forearm and was shut down from throwing Aug. 12. He'll require a procedure to fix his right forearm flexor. Tinoco will have the surgery in early September and could miss the entirety of the 2026 campaign. The 30-year-old ends the 2025 season with a 5.12 ERA and 10:8 K:BB across 19.1 innings.

The Marlins shut Tinoco (forearm) down from throwing Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tinoco wasn't bouncing back from a throwing session the way the team had hoped, so Miami has shut him down for the time being. A new timeline for the 30-year-old's recovery should emerge once the Marlins re-evaluate him, though there's a good chance his setback will delay his return until late August or September.

The Marlins transferred Tinoco (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

A right forearm strain sent Tinoco to the injured list in early June. The 30-year-old reliever has been throwing since mid-June and is nearing a return to mound work, though his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least Aug. 5. His 40-man roster spot will be handed to Michael Petersen, who was acquired in a trade with Atlanta on Wednesday.

The Marlins announced July 7 that Tinoco (forearm) is continuing to make progress with his throwing program and could soon be cleared to throw bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tinoco was able to resume playing catch just over a week after he was placed on the injured list June 6 due to a right forearm strain, but the Marlins have been bringing the right-hander along slowly in his recovery. As a one- or two-inning reliever, Tinoco won't require an extended rehab assignment, but since he has yet to get back on a mound, he shouldn't be expected to return from the IL until late July at the soonest.

Tinoco (forearm) resumed a throwing program Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tinoco has missed much of June with a right forearm strain but has been cleared to play catch. The right-handed reliever will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

The Marlins placed Tinoco on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right forearm strain.

EDGE Analysis

Tinoco didn't strike out a single batted over his last five appearances and had been deployed in low-leverage situations lately, so it's possible he's been hurt for a while. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, an MRI on Tinoco's forearm didn't reveal any structural damage, but it's not clear how long he might be shelved.

Tinoco gave up one hit in 1.1 scoreless innings to record his fourth hold of the season during Monday's extra-innings loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

While it was an effective performance that saw Tinoco fire 13 of 17 pitches for strikes, the right-hander was a long way from closing duties as he entered the game to get the final out of the sixth inning. Tinoco has blown two of his last four saves chances while staggering to an 8.68 ERA in 9.1 innings over his last 10 appearances, and Ronny Henriquez -- who picked up his first career save Sunday -- appears to have emerged as the Marlins' top high-leverage arm.
