ARLINGTON, Texas — The Marlins designated infielder Jose Lopez for assignment prior to Saturday night’s game against the Rangers.
Lopez was signed by the Marlins on June 7 after he was released by the Rockies. He was 3-for-29 in 12 games for the Marlins, striking out as a pinch hitter Friday night in his final at-bat for Florida.
The Marlins recalled outfielder Bryan Petersen from Triple-A New Orleans to take Lopez’s roster spot.
