Woo-Suk

Go

Go has an assignment clause in his contract, so he has to be added to the active roster. Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports that move will be made prior to Tuesday’s game. Go has struck out 32 hitters over 27 2/3 innings in Triple-A this year, and will get a chance to help the Minnesota bullpen.

The Korean-born pitcher was last with Miami, posting a 4.11 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 14/9 K/BB in 15 1/3 innings in the minor leagues. He has yet to make his MLB debut.

Go was jettisoned from Miami’s 40-man roster last June just a handful of weeks after coming over from the Padres as one of the ancillary components of the Luis Arraez deal. The 26-year-old righty never wound up pitching in the big leagues after signing with San Diego as an international free agent ahead of the 2024 season.

Go went unclaimed after being designated for assignment. The 25-year-old is just organizational depth at this stage in his career.

The 25-year-old was traded to the Marlins from the Padres in early May after posting a 4.38 ERA and 15/4 K/BB over 10 appearances for Double-A San Antonio. He had a 3.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in nine innings at Triple-A for the Marlins. It hasn’t been the best start to his MLB career, but another team will likely give him a shot.

Anderson was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Sunday to make room for Gerson Garabito after Garabito had his contract selected to start against the Twins. The 29-year-old made four starts in Triple-A this season, posting a 2.53 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 21 1/3 innings with 22 strikeouts and four walks. He made two relief appearances with the Rangers this year and could operate in a swing role for Miami. Woo-Suk Go was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Head is the prize for the Marlins in the trade. The 19-year-old outfielder was the Padres’ first-round selection (25th overall) from the 2023 draft. He’s at least a couple of years away from helping out at the big league level but projects as an impact five-category contributor. Suk-Go should immediately step in and help in the big league bullpen. It’s unusual to see a team wave the white flag on the season in the first week of May, but nothing that the Marlins do should be that surprising anymore.
