The Major League Baseball trade deadline is Thursday

The Marlins acquired minor-league outfielder Matthew Etzel, who was traded for the second year in a row. Tampa Bay got minor-league infielder Jadher Areinamo in the trade with the Brewers. The trade deadline is Thursday.

The 28-year-old Fortes hit .240 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 59 games for the Marlins. He hit .300 over his final 29 games with Miami.

Fortes is a .225 hitter over a career spent entirely with the Marlins, who took him in the fourth round of the 2018 amateur draft. He has 25 homers and 96 RBI in 363 games.

Etzel has been on the injured list since June 22. He hit .230 with five homers and 34 RBI in 56 games with Class AA Montgomery, Ala. The Rays acquired him from Baltimore last summer in a trade that sent Zach Eflin to the Orioles.

On Monday night, the Rays dealt Jansen to his hometown Milwaukee Brewers for Areinamo.

Jansen was in Tampa Bay’s original lineup against the New York Yankees but got pulled about 45 minutes before the first pitch. The trade was announced shortly after the Rays ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win at Yankee Stadium.

Jansen said he found out about the deal after meeting with manager Kevin Cash and president of baseball operations Erik Neander.

“I was getting ready to play the game, and I understand that side of baseball,” said Jansen, in his eighth major-league season. “Just grateful for the time spent here with the guys.”

Tampa Bay signed Jansen to an $8.5 million, one-year contract on Dec. 13. He batted .204 with 11 homers and 29 RBI in 73 games for the Rays, who also sent cash to the Brewers as part of the deal.
