While the Marlins may be thinking about the implication of playing baseball without All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto next season, the franchise made other moves to increase the number of active players on the 40-man roster this week.
According to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, the Marlins have reinstated third baseman Martin Prado, outfielder Garrett Cooper, and pitchers Caleb Smith and Pablo Lopez from the 60-day disabled list. The transactions bump Miami’s 40-man roster to 35. With the Hot Stove season in sight, these “housekeeping” items are in preparation for the offseason ahead.
