The Marlins are calling up right-hander Robinson Pi\u00f1a<\/a> for his major league debut, reports<\/a> Kevin Barral of Fish On First. The team has not announced the move yet. Pi\u00f1a\u2019s contract will need to be selected to what is currently a full 40-man roster in Miami, so the Fish will need to make a corresponding move in that regard.<\/p>\n

Pi\u00f1a, 26, will make his big league debut the first time he takes the mound. He spent the 2017-23 seasons in the Angels system before becoming a minor league free agent and signing with the Phillies ahead of the 2024 campaign. The Phils never added him to the 40-man roster, and Pi\u00f1a again became a minor league free agent this past offseason, signing with Miami in his second run through the open market. This time around, he\u2019ll get that coveted first MLB opportunity.<\/p>\n

Pi\u00f1a has certainly earned his call to the majors. He\u2019s appeared in 13 games, 11 of them starts, and tallied 57 innings with a 3.47 ERA, a 22.2% strikeout rate, a 6.2% walk rate and a 46.9% ground-ball rate. Command was an issue for him early in his minor league career, but he\u2019s now turned in consecutive minor league seasons with walk rates that clock in considerably south of average. This year\u2019s 92.8 mph average sinker is up a mile per hour over last year\u2019s levels, and Pi\u00f1a has been consistent all season; he hasn\u2019t yielded more than three earned runs in any appearance and has held opponents to two or fewer runs in 10 of 13 outings overall.<\/p>\n

Miami has Edward Cabrera<\/a> lined up to start today, with Janson Junk<\/a>, Eury P\u00e9rez<\/a> and Sandy Alcantara<\/a> listed as probables in their next three games thereafter. There\u2019s no need for an immediate spot starter \u2014 barring an injury the team has not yet made public \u2014 but they could be looking to add some length with Junk having spent the season in a long relief role. The Marlins also have an off-day coming on Monday, so they could option Adam Mazur<\/a> and skip the fifth starter\u2019s spot next time through the rotation. Doing so would give them options for how best to use Pi\u00f1a, who\u2019s fully stretched out and has topped 80 pitches in five of his past six appearances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Marlins are calling up right-hander Robinson Pi\u00f1a for his major league debut, reports Kevin Barral of Fish…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2395],"tags":[5,1816,778,58,4171,4,22742],"class_list":{"0":"post-115999","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami-marlins","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-marlins","10":"tag-miami","11":"tag-miami-marlins","12":"tag-miamimarlins","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-robinson-pina"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114711268300111115","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
