Scouting Report: Stephen Jones
Miami Marlins | RP
Overall
Summary
Stephen Jones, a 28-year-old right-handed pitcher, was called up to the Miami Marlins on May 7, 2026, after eight seasons in the minor leagues. He was promoted from Double-A Pensacola to Triple-A Jacksonville on May 6, then directly to the MLB roster on May 7. However, he did not appear in any games during his brief stint with the Marlins. He was designated for assignment on May 8, 2026, just one day after his promotion, to make roster space for Robby Snelling's debut. Jones was subsequently outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville after clearing waivers. The transaction indicates he was used as an emergency bullpen arm during a period of roster shuffling due to Chris Paddack's designation for assignment.
Strengths
- Finally reached MLB after 8 seasons in minor leagues
