Earlier this week, the Marlins assigned right-hander Hector Noesi and catcher Tyler Heineman to Triple-A New Orleans. Noesi produced a 8.46 ERA over 12 appearances throughout 2019, while Heineman made his MLB debut in September and was used sparingly over the last few weeks of the season. Reliever Josh Smith was claimed off waivers by the Reds, too, so Miami now has three open spots on the 40-man roster which will be vital for protecting some of the organization’s top prospects from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings.
