The Blue Jays acquired Pop and Anthony Bass from the Marlins in exchange for minor-league infielder Jordan Groshans on Tuesday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pop has a 3.60 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB in 20 innings of relief this season for the Marlins. Four of the eight earned runs he's yielded came in one appearance July 25, so he's been effective for the most part. Saves will be hard to come by as long as Jordan Romano is healthy and pitching well, but Pop should see ample opportunities for holds while working in the middle innings going forward.

Pop (2-0) picked up the win in Thursday's victory over the Reds, striking out one over a perfect eighth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander left Monday's appearance with an undisclosed injury, but it was apparently nothing serious as Pop was back on the mound three days later in a key spot. Both his wins on the season have come since July 13, and aside from Monday's game (four runs in 0.2 innings before exiting), Pop has given up only one earned run since being called back up from Triple-A Jacksonville in late June. Even with that rough outing included, the 25-year-old sports a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB through his last 15 innings. If the Marlins trade some veteran relievers before the deadline, Pop could find himself seeing consistent late-inning action over the final two months of the season.

Pop was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was sent to the minors in early June but will rejoin the Marlins' bullpen after Louis Head (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Pop allowed three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four in three innings over his first two major-league appearances of the season.

Miami optioned Pop to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Pop was returned to the minors one day after he was called up to serve as the Marlins' 27th man in the team's doubleheader with the Rockies. He appeared in relief during the Marlins' 14-1 win in Game 1, working two innings and striking out three while giving up an earned run on two hits.

Pop was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to serve as the 27th man in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pop was sent to the minors in early May, and he posted a 4.70 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 7.2 innings over seven relief appearances in Jacksonville since then. The right-hander will provide additional bullpen depth during Wednesday's twin bill before likely heading back to the minors.

The Marlins optioned Pop to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pop was sent down to the minors and Shawn Armstrong was designated for assignment as the Marlins reduced their active roster from 28 to 26 men ahead of Monday's deadline. The right-hander's demotion comes just one day after he made his 2022 debut for the big club, as Pop gave up two earned runs on three hits in an inning of relief in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

The Marlins recalled Pop from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Byron Kerr of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll enter the bullpen as a replacement for lefty Daniel Castano, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. The promotion to the big leagues is the first of the season for Pop, who turned in a 4.12 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 51:24 K:BB across 54.2 innings in his 50 appearances for the Marlins as a rookie.

Pop was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miami's bullpen got more crowded when the team acquired Cole Sulser and Tanner Scott from the Orioles on Sunday. Pop had a respectable 4.12 ERA in 54.2 innings as a rookie last season but will have to wait to get his next chance in the majors.

Pop (finger) was activated off the injured list Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pop will wind up missing just shy of three weeks with a sore middle finger. He's ready to go following a pair of rehab appearances and will be looking to continue the strong form he was showing prior to the injury, as he didn't allow a single earned run over his last nine relief appearances. He'll take the roster spot that had belonged to Paul Campbell, who hit the injured list for undisclosed reasons.
