Marlins Designate Infielder Christopher Morel for Assignment, Place Slugger Liam Hicks on IL
- On Sunday, the Miami Marlins designated infielder Christopher Morel for assignment and activated outfielder Griffin Conine from the 60-day injured list before their game against the San Francisco Giants.
- Morel batted.162 with no home runs in 22 games after signing a $2 million, one-year contract to provide power depth. Manager Clayton McCullough said, 'Coming into the season we had the high hopes that Christopher could turn around the talent ability that he has and kind of refine the '22, '23 version, and it just didn't happened.'
- Conine returns after tearing his hamstring against the Cincinnati Reds on April 9, while the Marlins simultaneously placed outfielder Liam Hicks on the injured list with a lower back strain.
- Miami also selected the contract of catcher Brian Navarreto from Triple-A Jacksonville, a move made as the team sits one game back from the final National League wild card spot.
- Morel, 26, previously hit 16 home runs in 2022 and 26 in 2023 during stints with the Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays, but had not appeared in a game since June 10.
