Braves signed RHP Mike Morin to a minor league contract.
Morin hasn’t appeared in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign when he made one relief appearance for the Marlins. The 32-year-old righty provides the Braves with some extra organizational relief depth in the upper minors after making 17 appearances this year in the independent Mexican League.
Marlins sent RHP Mike Morin outright to Triple-A New Orleans.
Morin was one of three pitchers that were reinstated from the 60-day injured list only to be outrighted off the roster. The right-hander was placed on the IL with a right elbow UCL injury in August after appearing in just three games. He's expected to become a free agent after refusing the assignment.
Morin was invited to the Brewers' big-league camp Wednesday.
Morin finished last season with a 4.62 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 50.2 innings pitched, the lowest marks since his rookie season in 2014. If the right-hander is able to impress the big-league coaching staff this spring, he is a candidate to provide depth to a Brewers bullpen that projects to include several new faces this season.
Morin refused an outright assignment to the minors Monday and became a free agent.
Morin finished the season with a playable 4.62 ERA despite striking out just 12.4 percent of opposing batters. He's unlikely to have a particularly busy market this offseason.
