The Marlins announced today that outfielder  has been selected to the roster, a move that was yesterday. The club also added right-hander  , recently claimed off waivers, to the active roster. To open spots for those two, they club optioned right-hander  and placed infielder  on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 24, with mild back extensor sorene Jason Kidd Jersey  s. Outfielder  has been designated for a signment to open up a 40-man spot. The club didnt announce a corresponding 40-man move when Baumann was claimed but it appears to be  , as his transactions tracker at MLB.com lists him as designated for a signment.  Wall, 28, was claimed off waivers from Atlanta a month ago. Hes mostly been kept on optional a signment in that time, only taking three plate appearances with the Marlins. Combined with his brief time with Atlanta, he has a strong line of .311/.380/.422 but in a small sample of 50 trips to the plate at the major league level.  Hes had a much larger sample of playing time in the minors, but with le s impre sive numbers. From 2021 to the present, hes appeared in 352 minor league contests with a .269/.355/.383 line and a 94 wRC+.  But beyond the bat, he can provide value with his legs. In that aforementioned 352-game stretch of minor league games, he has swiped 155 bags while being caught 29 times. His brief major league career has also involved nine steals in 13 tries.  Thats clearly an enticing quality but the tepid offense hasnt been enough for him to earn much playing time and hes now been squeezed off a roster again. With the trade deadline now in the rear-view mirror, the Marlins will have to place him on waivers in the coming days. If any club is looking for some wheels for their bench or in a depth role, Wall still has a full slate of options and le s than a year of service time. He doesnt have a previous career outright nor three years of service time, so he wouldnt have the right to elect free agency if he pa ses through waivers unclaimed.  Gray, 28, was signed by the Marlins to a minor league deal in the offseason and was selected to the roster in May. He has only received seven plate appearances in the majors this year, spending most of his time on optional a signment in Triple-A. Hes hit 17 home runs in 100 games at that level but the offensive environment is strong in the International League this year and his .245/.318/.459 line only translates to a wRC+ of 97.  That increases the sample size of Gray being a bit below average at Triple-A. From 2021 to the present, he has 431 games at that level with a .236/.305/.470 batting line and 95 wRC+. He does bring defensive versatility to the table, having played all four infield positions, but the lack of offense has limited him to 12 major league plate appearances to this point in his career.  Like Wall, Gray will be on waivers in the coming days. He also has a full slate of options and le s than a year of service time, so he could provide a claiming club with many years of club control. If he were to pa s through waivers unclaimed, he could elect free agency by virtue of having a previous career outright.  Wilson Chandler Jersey
