Miami Marlins promote Cole Gillespie, Miguel Rojas
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY SportsBoth will give the Marlins right-handed depth off the bench.
In addition to placing Giancarlo Stanton on the 15-day disabled list with a broken bone in his hand, the Marlins announced they have optioned Donovan Solano to Triple-A New Orleans and recalled infielder Miguel Rojas. Cole Gillespie was selected in the corresponding Stanton move.
Solano, 27, served as a utility infielder for the Marlins but has struggled offensively of late. In 38 games, he posted a .153/.180/.220 batting line to complement five RBIs. Rojas will likely serve in the same capacity after batting .302/.345/.431 in Triple-A.
