Galloway

Galloway was designated for assignment by the Fish last Friday and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 29-year-old is a career .186/.244/.297 hitter in 128 plate appearances at the major league level.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Bryan Holaday. Galloway figures to clear waivers.

The 29-year-old was dreadful at the plate in his limited action with the Marlins, hitting just .167/.167/.185 with a 17/0 K/BB ratio in 54 plate appearances. He should get another chance with the big league club later in the season, but it’s clear that he’s not ready to handle major league pitching just yet.

Galloway is actually in the starting lineup on Tuesday. He should help the Marlins’ defense, but fantasy owners should expect much help offensively based on what he showed during his first taste in the majors last year.

It appears that there could be multiple moves on the way for the Marlins, though nothing is official just yet. Galloway made his major league debut last year after more than 10 years in the minors, batting .203/.301/.391 over 74 plate appearances. The 29-year-old has some speed, but he’s likely to be a bench player and can be avoided in most fantasy legues.

Galloway had been designated for assignment, but he cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. The 29-year-old made his major league debut in 2018 after more than 10 years in the minors.

The move creates a spot on the 40-man roster for Austin Brice. Galloway, 29, made his major league debut in 2018 after more than 10 years in the minors. He batted .203/.301/.391 over 74 plate appearances and figures to be back in the minors to begin 2019.

It took until the top half of the 10th inning for either team to scratch out a run in this one, with Galloway delivering the go-ahead RBI double to plate Brian Anderson who had doubled before him. That was Galloway’s lone at-bat in the contest, as he entered as a pinch-runner earlier in the contest. The 28-year-old is hitting .218/.317/.436 with three homers and seven RBI in his first 63 plate appearances with the big league club.

Galloway went 6-for-27 with a homer this spring. He’s a non-prospect.

Galloway’s bat has held him back throughout his minor league career, but he did hit .327/.397/.553 in 49 games while healthy last year. He probably wouldn’t be a threat to make any other team in the majors, but since he’s a Marlin, there’s a chance he could win a spot as a reserve.
