Marlins released RHP David Aardsma.

Per Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, his minor league contract with the Marlins allowed Aardsma to opt out if he wasn't in the majors by May 15. The 31-year-old posted a 2.57 ERA and 12/8 K/BB ratio over 14 innings with Triple-A New Orleans. It shouldn't be long before he finds a new home.

David Aardsma - R - Marlins

Marlins signed RHP David Aardsma to a minor league contract.

Aardsma was released by the Yankees earlier this season and failed to draw any interest on waivers. He's missed the majority of the last two years due to Tommy John surgery, but will look to reestablish himself in the Marlins' bullpen. Aardsma has a career 4.22 ERA over parts of seven seasons in the majors.

David Aardsma - R - Marlins

Yankees designated RHP David Aardsma for assignment.

Aardsma posted a 3.52 ERA and 7/2 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 innings this spring, but it wasn't enough to win a spot in the Yankees' bullpen. The 31-year-old is nearly two years removed from Tommy John surgery and hasn't had any issues with his elbow this spring, so we suspect he'll draw plenty of interest on waivers.

David Aardsma (groin) threw a bullpen session Saturday with no issues.

Aardsma has made just two Grapefruit League appearances due to a groin strain, but it sounds like he's close to returning to game action. He'll obviously have plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day as long as he can avoid a setback.

David Aardsma (elbow) has already thrown four bullpen sessions and is expected to be on a normal routine during spring training.

Aardsma appeared in just one game for the Yankees last season while working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He's nearly 19 months removed from the operation at this point, so the Yanks are expecting him to be back to his regular self. Aardsma was a weapon out of the Mariners bullpen from 2009-10, posting a 2.90 ERA while striking out over a batter per inning.

Yankees exercised RHP David Aardsma's $500,000 option for 2013.

It's a low-risk flier for the Yankees. Aardsma appeared in just one game last season and is 15 months removed from Tommy John surgery. The deal includes performance-based incentives.

David Aardsma (elbow) will be activated from the disabled list Tuesday.

Aardsma hasn't appeared in a major league game since September 19, 2010 following hip and elbow surgeries, but he'll provide some depth in the bullpen down the stretch. He's on the 60-day disabled list, which means the Yankees will have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster to activate him.

The Yankees are holding out hope that reliever David Aardsma (elbow) can pitch this season.

Aardsma hasn't appeared in a major league game since the 2010 campaign, but he began throwing again in late August and may be cleared to join up with the Yankees in about a week. The Bombers signed the former Mariners closer to a one-year, $500,000 contract in late February. It includes a club option for the 2013 season.

David Aardsma (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Friday with High-A Tampa.

Aardsma hasn't pitched in the majors since the 2010 season because of hip and elbow injuries, but he's finally making serious progress and could join the Yankees' bullpen at some point in September if he looks sharp in his rehab appearances. The right-hander signed a one-year, $500,000 contract with New York in late February.

David Aardsma (elbow) wrote on his Twitter account that he made 50 throws from a distance of 60 feet.

Aardsma was pulled off a rehab assignment in late June due to a setback with his surgically-repaired right elbow, but he's currently trying to ramp up his throwing program again. He hasn't given up hope of returning this season, but he's going to have to make quick progress.

David Aardsma (elbow) has been shut down for two more weeks.

The determination was made after Aardsma was seen by his surgeon Dr. Lewis Yocum and team doctor Dr. Christopher Ahmad. He'll be re-evaluated after the two weeks before restarting his throwing program. The Yankees remain optimistic that he'll contribute at the big league level this season.

David Aardsma - R - Marlins

David Aardsma has been temporarily shut down after suffering a setback with his surgically-repaired right elbow.

"He felt some pain in the medial area [of the elbow],'' said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. "It happens. So we're going to back off." Aardsma didn't allow an earned run over his first three rehab appearances with the Gulf Coast League Yankees. While he won't meet the original target date of July 19, Cashman still thinks he'll make it back to the big leagues this season.
