Claimed by White Sox The White Sox claimed Marinaccio off waivers from the Yankees on Monday.
Impact The White Sox had the highest waiver priority of any team and used it to scoop up Marinaccio, who had been designated for assignment by the Yankees last Friday. Marinaccio has spent a large chunk of 2024 in the minors, but he's posted a career 3.22 ERA and 137:61 K:BB over 114.2 innings covering parts of three seasons in the majors. He's been optioned to Double-A Binghamton for the time being.

Designated for assignment The Yankees designatedMarinaccio for assignment Friday.
Impact Marinaccio has collected a 3.86 ERA and 25:10 K:BB over 23.1 innings during his time with the Yankees this season. A career 12.6 percent walk rate is scary, but the 29-year-old also has a career 28.3 percent strikeout rate and is under team control for multiple seasons. He figures to draw interest via trade or waivers.

Sent down to minors Marinaccio was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Friday's game against the Cubs.
Impact The move opens up a spot for Clarke Schmidt (lat), who will return from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday in Chicago. Marinaccio has been more than serviceable for the Yankees this season, but he continues to bounced between levels as the Yankees take full advantage of the roster flexibility provided by his minor-league option.

Moves up from Triple-A The Yankees recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Impact Marinaccio has previously made 14 appearances for the big club this season, logging a 2.53 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 22 strikeouts in 21.1 innings. Despite his strong ratios with the big club and at Triple-A (2.02 ERA, 0.99 WHIP in 35.2 innings) this season, Marinaccio could be limited to a low-leverage role out of the New York bullpen in September.

Marinaccio threw 2.1 scoreless innings of relief during an 8-0 win in Game 1, marking his first MLB appearance since June 20.

Serving as 27th man The Yankees recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Impact The Yankees will add extra depth to their bullpen by appointing Marinaccio as their 27th man for Saturday's twin bill versus the Rangers. The 29-year-old reliever has found consistent success in the big leagues this season with a 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 19 frames, though there's a good chance he'll be sent back to Triple-A following Saturday's games.

Sent back to Triple-A The Yankees optioned Marinaccio to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
Impact Called up from Triple-A earlier in the day, Marinaccio went unused out of the bullpen in the Yankees' 6-5 win over the Phillies. He'll now head back to Triple-A as the Yankees look to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for trade-deadline pickup Enyel De Los Santos ahead of their next game Friday versus the Blue Jays.

Recalled from Triple-A The Yankees recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, YES Network reports.
Impact The Yankees DFA'd Josh Maciejewski on Saturday to create room on the 40-man roster for Kevin Smith, so Marinaccio will come up to as Maciejewski's replacement in the bullpen. The 28-year-old righty logged a 3.99 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 47.1 innings last season in the majors, and he has yet to allow a run through five Triple-A frames this year.

Sent back to minors Marinaccio was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Impact Marinaccio tossed a scoreless innings against the Brewers on Saturday but needed 32 pitches to do so. The Yankees will announce a corresponding move prior to Sunday's contest, and it seems likely to be a reliever.

Recalled from Triple-A Marinaccio was called up by the Yankees on Saturday.
Impact Marinaccio owns a 4.08 ERA in 46.1 major-league innings this season, with a 27.6 percent strikeout rate more or less cancelling out an inflated 12.6 percent walk rate. He'll give the Yankees an extra bullpen option, taking the roster spot which had belonged to Luis Severino, who landed on the injured list with a side injury.

Sent to Triple-A Marinaccio was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Impact Marinaccio came into the year looking to build on a breakout 2022 campaign, but he has given up eight earned runs on eight hits and five walks over his last eight appearances (7.1 innings), so he will get a reset at Triple-A. Jhony Brito was recalled to take Marinaccio's place in the bullpen.

Notches second save Marinaccio gave up a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday, recording his second save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Rangers.
Impact Clay Holmes got the final two outs of the eighth inning after Wandy Peralta had created a bit of a mess, and with Michael King struggling of late, Marinaccio was summoned in the ninth instead to close things out. The second-year righty has earned his spot in the Yankees' high-leverage crew by not allowing an earned run in nearly a month, and over his last 12 appearances, Marinaccio has a 1.32 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 13.2 innings.

Secures first save Marinaccio picked up the save with a clean inning Thursday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Marinaccio needed just seven pitches to retire the Blue Jays in the ninth inning and pick up his first save of the season. The Yankees closer role is up for grabs as six different players have converted a save. Wandy Peralta gave up a walk-off homer Wednesday. Michael King converted a save earlier this week, but threw 21 pitches Wednesday. Clay Holmes pitched in each of the previous two games. The more rested Marinaccio got the call and delivered. Marinaccio has a 4.74 ERA and 1.26 WHIP and would presumably not get regular save opportunities.

Making spring debut Thursday Marinaccio (shin) will make his Grapefruit League debut Thursday against the Red Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Impact The Yankees are bringing along Marinaccio slowly this spring, as Boland notes, as he's coming off a stress reaction in his right shin that caused him to miss the end of the 2022 season as well as the postseason. The right-hander was one of the team's best relievers when healthy with a 2.05 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 56 strikeouts over 44 innings of work. Assuming good health, he'll pitch in the middle innings for New York again in 2023.

Impact The right-hander was sidelined late in the 2022 season due to a stress reaction in his right shin and wasn't able to pitch during the Yankees' postseason run, but his ability to face hitters on two occasions this early in spring training suggests he's back to full health or close to it. When available in 2022, Marinaccio was effective, as he finished his rookie campaign with a 2.05 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 56 strikeouts across 44 innings. He'll likely settle back into a middle-relief or setup role for the Yankees to begin the 2023 season.
