Marlins released 1B Doug Mientkiewicz.

That was quick. The Marlins decided to release Mientkiewicz before he had the chance to exercise an out-clause in his contract. The 35-year-old first baseman was 4-for-16 with the Zephyrs. Fri, May 14, 2010 07:24:00 PM

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Doug Mientkiewicz, who signed a minor league contract with the Marlins on May 5, has left Triple-A New Orleans.

It looks like Mientkiewicz has opted to give up on a return to the majors. He went 4-for-16 during his brief time with the Zephyrs.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Marlins signed 1B Doug Mientkiewicz to a minor league contract.

Mientkiewicz requested and was given his release from the Dodgers at the start of the regular season to pursue other options. It'll be a surprise if he ever makes his way to the Marlins' big league roster. The soon-to-be 36-year-old barely played last season due to shoulder surgery.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Dodgers released 1B Doug Mientkiewicz.

The Dodgers had been holding off on releasing him until they were sure Garrett Anderson was healthy, so they must be reasonably sure of that now. Mientkiewicz will look to latch on somewhere, but the spots for an oft-injured journeyman in his age-36 season will be limited. He may find someone this time, but his career is likely drawing to a close.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Doug Mientkiewicz has requested his release from the Dodgers.

Mientkiewicz failed to make the team out of camp and doesn't want to accept a minor league assignment with Los Angeles. The Dodgers, however, denied his request for release. Mientkiewicz's contract allows him to opt out on Friday, however. LA's hangup, according to Mientkiewicz, is having him on board as insurance in case Garret Anderson gets injured between now and then. Mientkiewicz was offered a coaching job by the Dodgers, but wants to keep playing.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Dodgers manager Joe Torre said first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz will take a day or two off after being told he probably won't make the team.

Mientkiewicz is reportedly taking time to think about whether he'll accept a minor league assignment. The 35-year-old has batted .292 (7-for-24) with four RBI this spring, however Garret Anderson's ability to play the outfield -- and possibly first base in a pinch -- is what likely made the difference in Torre's decision.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, the Dodgers have re-signed first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz to a minor league contract.

Mientkiewicz, 35, was 6-for-18 (.333) with the Dodgers last season. According to Gurnick, the Dodgers have also brought back infielder Angel Berroa. The 31-year-old Berroa batted .143/.233/.185 with two RBI in 49 at-bats between the Mets and Yankees in '09.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Dodgers activated 1B Doug Mientkiewicz from the disabled list.

Although Mientkiewicz'z surgically repaired shoulder limits throwing, he insists he can play first base. Regardless, Mientkiewicz has no fantasy value down the stretch.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Doug Mientkiewicz, on the disabled list following shoulder surgery, is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment next Tuesday.

Mientkiewicz has made a remarkably quick recovery. Early projections had him out until September, at the earliest. "I respected their time period but I didn't believe them," he said. "I'm not saying I'm the Bionic Man, but with (trainer) Stan (Conte) cutting every corner he could to take chances when we could, we've been aggressively smart with this thing. Knock on wood, we haven't had any setbacks."

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

According to MLB.com, Doug Mientkiewicz is well ahead of schedule in his rehab from shoulder surgery.

The Dodgers weren't expecting him back until September, at the earliest, but he's already hitting from a tee. "I'm taking swings I didn't think I'd be taking for another six weeks," Mientkiewicz said Thursday. "Everybody is scared to think about it, it's going so well. ... I'm working five or six hours a day with Stan [Conte, trainer]." Perhaps we'll see him in August.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Doug Mientkiewicz (shoulder) will need surgery and be lost for at least three months, according to team officials.

While that puts his return in July, manager Joe Torre said that a September is more likely after discovering that Mientkiewicz's shoulder was completely dislocated. Blake DeWitt will be recalled from the minors to take his spot on the roster and will serve a similar backup role as Mientkiewicz.

Doug Mientkiewicz will go on the DL after suffering a dislocated shoulder during Thursday's game.

The Dodgers are expected to make either Blake DeWitt or Xavier Paul his replacement on the roster. Mientkiewicz will likely miss at least a month because of the injury.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Doug Mientkiewicz was removed from Thursday's game with a shoulder injury after delivering a pinch-hit double.

He could be DL bound. If so, the Dodgers may want to summon Blake DeWitt back from Triple-A. Luis Maza would be another option.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

Dodgers purchased the contracts of 1B Doug Mientkiewicz, LHP Will Ohman and RHP Ronald Belisario.

Mientkiewicz seems completely unnecessary with a fellow left-handed-hitting infielder in reserve in Blake DeWitt, but DeWitt still could return to the minors at some point. Until then, DeWitt should get just just about all of the starts that don't go to Casey Blake or James Loney, with Blake moving to first when Loney sits. Ohman and Belisario will occupy bullpen roles.

Doug Mientkiewicz - 1B - Marlins

The Dodgers have purchased contracts for non-roster player Doug Mientkiewicz and pitchers Will Ohman and Ronald Belisario.

While Mientkiewicz's addition wasn't that much of a surprise considering how much manager Joe Torre likes him, the other two were. Ohman battled injury issues in spring training, but appears to be fine while Belisario has never pitched above Double-A ball.

Pos	Role	Name

	2	Jeff Mathis
	3	Miguel Olivo
	4	Kyle Skipworth
1B	1	Logan Morrison D.L. Logan Morrison (knee) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter on Monday. Morrison has been playing in extended spring training games lately and hasn't had any setbacks with his surgically-repaired knee. With his 20-day rehab clock started on Monday, he'll be activated no later than early June as long as he doesn't have a setback. May 19
	2	Casey Kotchman D.L. Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Casey Kotchman (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment "in the next few days." Kotchman is finally feeling improvement with his strained left hamstring. He was moved to the 60-day DL last week, though, so he won't be eligible to return until June. May 14
	3	Joe Mahoney D.L. Joe Mahoney (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Jupiter this week. Mahoney has been out since late April with a right hamstring strain. With Logan Morrison (knee) and Casey Kotchman (hamstring) also due back soon, Mahoney might be sent to Triple-A once healthy. May 19
2B	1	Donovan Solano D.L. Donovan Solano's strained left intercostal muscle remains sore. There's no timetable for when he'll resume baseball activities, let alone when he'll return from the DL. Derek Dietrich will continue to serve as the primary second baseman for the Marlins. May 14
	2	Chris Valaika D.L. Chris Valaika underwent successful surgery on Friday, having two pins inserted into his wrist. Valaika is expected to require 4-6 weeks of healing time before he's able to return to the Marlins. He had been virtually ineffective in his 22 games before the injury, hitting .219/.261/.344 with one homer and nine RBI. May 10

	3	Matt Diaz
CF	1	Chris Coghlan
	2	Justin Ruggiano
RF	1	Giancarlo Stanton D.L. Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could begin jogging sometime next week. That's what Marlins skipper Mike Redmond told reporters on Saturday afternoon. Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 with a severe right hamstring strain and is being limited currently to pool workouts. There is no timetable for his return to Miami. May 18
	2	Marcell Ozuna
	3	Alfredo Silverio D.L. Marlins placed OF Alfredo Silverio on the 60-day disabled list with a sprained right elbow. It's not clear how long the Rule 5 pick will be out. Silverio missed the entire 2012 season after injuring his neck and back in an auto accident. Mar 31
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Ricky Nolasco
	2	Nathan Eovaldi D.L. Marlins manager Mike Redmond said Thursday that Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) has been progressing with his long-toss program. It's not clear when Eovaldi will be ready to throw from a mound, but he's moving in the right direction. The right-hander looks to be a little behind Henderson Alvarez, who should be ready to rejoin the Marlins' rotation in mid-May. Apr 26
	3	Kevin Slowey
	4	Jose Fernandez
	5	Alex Sanabia
	6	Henderson Alvarez D.L. Marlins transferred RHP Henderson Alvarez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Nick Green on the active roster. Alvarez recently had a setback with his shoulder and isn't close to returning. May 7
