Marlins' Pat Venditte: Back with Marlins
Rotowire
Venditte signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Venditte joined the Marlins as a non-roster invitee earlier in the year but elected free agency in July after he was left out of the team's 60-man player pool. Now with the Marlins dealing with multiple absences related to COVID-19, it sounds like the veteran reliever could be summoned to the majors in short order.
