Marlins Roster Moves: Prospects Berry, Monteverde among those reassigned

[Ely Sussman]

Marlins big league camp has been trimmed from 65 players to 59 following this initial round of cuts.

In advance of the team's 10th Grapefruit League game, the Miami Marlins announced their first round of spring training cuts on Tuesday morning. All of these players remain with the Marlins organization—they just weren't serious candidates to earn Opening Day roster spots. They'll appear in spring games less frequently moving forward as the established big leaguers gradually increase their workloads.

In alphabetical order:

• INF Jacob Berry (.375 BA, .944 OPS in 9 PA during Grapefruit League play) reassigned to minor league camp
• LHP Kent Emanuel (22.50 ERA, 5.00 WHIP in 2.0 IP) reassigned to minor league camp
• C Bennett Hostetler (.000 BA, .000 OPS in 3 PA) reassigned to minor league camp
• RHP Jeff Lindgren (3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP in 3.0 IP) reassigned to minor league camp
• RHP Darren McCaughan (0.00 ERA, 1.50 WHIP in 2.0 IP) optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville
• LHP Patrick Monteverde  (0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP in 4.0 IP) reassigned to minor league camp

Berry ranked 14th and Monteverde ranked 15th on our newly updated Fish On First Top 30 prospects list.
