Marinez was designated for assignment on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers needed to clear room on the 40-man roster for some roster additions, and Marinez was a casualty. He has a 3.70 ERA and 45 strikeouts across stops with the Brewers, Pirates and Rangers this season.

Marinez covered 1.1 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Angels, giving up one hit and hitting a batter with a pitch. He also notched a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Since joining the Rangers via a waiver claim earlier this month, Marinez has made three appearances, conceding two runs over 5.1 innings. Though injuries to Keone Kela (shoulder) and Matt Bush (knee, concussion) have left the Rangers short on setup arms, it's not expected that Marinez will warrant much consideration for those duties. Instead, it's likely Marinez's usage will be relegated to mostly low-leverage situations, as was the case Tuesday amid the blowout loss.

Marinez was claimed off waivers by the Rangers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Marinez, who was designated for assignment by the Pirates over the weekend, is set to join his third different team in 2017. The right-handed reliever compiled a 3.91 ERA and 40:23 K:BB through 50.2 innings between the Brewers and Pirates this season. He is expected to join the big club ahead of Friday's series opener against the Astros, with a corresponding roster move to be announced then.

Marinez was designated for assignment on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He has a 3.91 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 50.2 innings split between the Brewers and Pirates this season. The Pirates needed to clear a 40-man roster spot for George Kontos, who was claimed from San Francisco.

Marinez has allowed five runs on 10 hits over hist last 5 innings pitched.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has pitched better since joining the Pirates in mid-May, but there's still been plenty of ups and downs. Marinez has made 19 appearances with the Pirates and has a 3.51 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 19 strikeouts across 25.2 innings pitched. The right-hander has yet to show the consistency this season to garner much fantasy interest in standard formats.

Marinez has pitched 14.1 innings in nine games with a 2.51 ERA and 1.33 WHIP since being claimed off waivers by the Pirates in the middle of May.
EDGE Analysis
Marinez benefited from a change of scenery this season when he went from Milwaukee to Pittsburgh. With the Brewers, he gave up 10 runs in 16.2 innings for an ERA of 5.40 to go along with a WHIP of 2.04. Now for the season as a whole, he has lowered his ERA and WHIP to 4.06 and 1.71. It's only his second season in the majors, so it's difficult to project which version of Marinez we've seen this season is what we should expect moving forward, but the version of Marinez we saw last season is closer to the reliever he is in Pittsburgh rather than who he was in Milwaukee.

Marinez threw 2.2 scoreless innings Monday in his debut for the Pirates. He allowed two hits and two walks without striking out a batter.
EDGE Analysis
He loaded the bases in his final inning before Daniel Hudson relieved him and recorded the third out. Marinez offers a sinking fastball which the organization believes can become an effective weapon. Milwaukee released him recently after he allowed 23 hits and 11 walks in 16.2 innings. He'll likely continue to work in low-leverage spots as the team attempts to turn his season around.

Marinez has been added to the 25-man roster and will be available Saturday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old will be in uniform Saturday after being claimed off waivers earlier in the week. Marinez was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday after a rocky start to the season, but he was a serviceable reliever in 2016 with a 3.18 ERA over 62.1 innings. He figures to slot into a middle relief role, and his 94 mile per hour fastball could be a valuable weapon in the Pirate bullpen if he improves his location (5.94 BB/9 this season).

Marinez was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Friday, MLB.com's Adam Berry reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being designated for assignment by Milwaukee earlier in the week, the 28-year-old has found a landing spot in Pittsburgh. He did struggle over his 15 appearances with the Brewers this season, notching a 5.40 ERA and an astronomical 2.04 WHIP in 16.2 innings. That said, Marinez was able to post a much more palatable 3.18 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 62.1 innings last season, so there's a chance he'll be able to regain his form in Pittsburgh.

Marinez was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Marinez was one of the more reliable members of the 2016 Brewers' bullpen, but the same could not be said about his performance this season. In 16.2 innings, the 28-year-old held a 5.40 ERA, a 2.04 WHIP and a 5.9 BB/9. He'll head back to Triple-A to get more work in (albeit in an incredibly hitter-friendly environment) while Brent Suter heads to the big leagues to fill his spot in the bullpen.
