JUPITER, Fla. — The Miami Marlins claimed right-handed reliever Seth Martinez off waivers Thursday from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Martinez was designated for assignment Monday by the Diamondbacks when they finalized a $1.35 million, one-year contract with right-hander Kendall Graveman that can be worth up to $3.3 million.
Arizona got the 30-year-old Martinez off waivers from the Houston Astros after the end of last season. Martinez had a 3.59 ERA in 44 games for the Astros in 2024 and was 6-6 with a 3.93 ERA in 111 games since making his big league debut with them in 2021.
Right-hander Eury Perez, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery last April, was put on the 60-day injury list to make room on the Marlins roster. Perez was 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA in 19 starts for the Marlins as a rookie in 2023.
