Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Yankees signed INF Gil Velazquez to a minor league contract.

The deal includes a spring training invite. Velazquez appeared in 19 games with the Marlins this season, batting .232 (13-for-56) with a double, two RBI and a .496 OPS. The 32-year-old will function as organizational depth with New York.

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Marlins sent INF Gil Velazquez outright to Triple-A New Orleans.

Velazquez appeared in 19 games with the Marlins this season, batting .232 (13-for-56) with a double, two RBI and a .496 OPS. The 33-year-old journeyman is nothing more than organizational depth.

Wed, Oct 17, 2012 03:08:00 PM

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Gil Velazquez had his best game as a Marlin in Thursday’s loss to the Braves, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

This is the first time that the 32-year-old journeyman infielder has received more than eight at-bats in a major league season. He’s held his own to this point, hitting .270 (10-for-37) with one RBI. His RBI double off Tommy Hanson in the fourth inning was the first extra-base hit of his MLB career.

Thu, Sep 27, 2012 10:00:00 PM

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Marlins purchased the contract of INF Gil Velazquez from Triple-A New Orleans.

Velazquez will give the Marlins some infield depth over the final few weeks. He went 1-for-8 with a strikeout in two games with the Fish earlier this season.

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Marlins sent INF Gil Velazquez outright to Triple-A New Orleans.

Velazquez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. The 33-year-old went 1-for-8 with a strikeout in two games with the Fish. He returns to a 314/.392/.383 batting line at the Triple-A level this year.

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Marlins purchased the contract of INF Gil Velazquez from Triple-A New Orleans.

He'll take the place of the injured Nick Green (thumb) on the active roster. Velazquez, 32, was hitting .314/.392/.383 with three home runs, five stolen bases and a .775 OPS in 101 games at the Triple-A level this year, but he can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Thu, Aug 16, 2012 01:54:00 PM

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Giants signed INF Gil Velazquez to a minor league contract.

Velazquez appeared in four games with the Angels last season, but spent the majority of the year at the Triple-A level, batting .328/.399/.466 with eight home runs, 58 RBI and an .865 OPS. He'll be a longshot to make the Giants' Opening Day roster.

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Angels sent INF Gil Velazquez outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Angels purchased the contract of INF Gil Velazquez from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Velazquez had brief stints with the Red Sox in 2008 and 2009, but has spent the majority of his professional career in the minor leagues. The 31-year-old batted .328/.399/.466 with eight homers, 58 RBI and an .865 OPS over 494 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. He'll provide some infield depth in September, but won't carry any fantasy value.

Tue, Sep 6, 2011 03:38:00 PM

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Angels signed INF Gil Velazquez to a minor league contract.

Velazquez batted .249/.304/.340 with one home run over 241 at-bats for the Red Sox' Triple-A affiliate this past season. The 31-year-old will give the Halos some veteran minor league depth.

Sat, Jan 29, 2011 01:31:00 PM

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Red Sox infielder Gil Velazquez has been diagnosed with a broken thumb.

Velazquez is expected to miss about six weeks, meaning he'll probably participate in extended spring training rather than report directly to Triple-A Pawtucket. "Yeah, I broke it," the 30-year-old infielder said Friday morning. "Nothing I can do. I just have to wait."

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Rob Brantly
	2	Jeff Mathis
	3	Miguel Olivo
1B	1	Logan Morrison D.L. Logan Morrison (knee) will shift his rehab assignment to Double-A Jacksonville on Monday. Morrison has spent the past week with the High-A Jupiter Hammerheads, collecting three hits and one RBI in 13 at-bats. He's working his way back from September surgery to repair a torn patella tendon in his right knee and is currently aiming to join the Marlins in early June. NL-only leaguers might want to stash him now. May 23
	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) is expected to begin playing in rehab games Sunday at Triple-A New Orleans. Mahoney was placed on the disabled list April 28 with a right hamstring strain. He'll beat Logan Morrison (knee) back to the Marlins' active roster but will probably be sent back to Triple-A when LoMo is deemed fully healthy. Mahoney, 26, carries no fantasy value. May 23
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	Derek Dietrich
	4	Nick Green
SS	1	Adeiny Hechavarria
3B	1	Placido Polanco
	2	Greg Dobbs
LF	1	Juan Pierre
	2	Austin Kearns D.L. Marlins transferred OF Austin Kearns to the restricted list. Kearns was already on the bereavement list, so it's just a procedural move to give him more time. Kyle Skipworth has taken Kearns' spot on the roster. May 12
	3	Matt Diaz D.L. Marlins placed OF Matt Diaz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19, with a left knee contusion. Diaz should be ready to return to the active roster as soon as he's eligible. The 35-year-old is batting just .167/.211/.222 in 10 games this season with the Marlins. May 20
	4	Jordan Brown
CF	1	Chris Coghlan
	2	Justin Ruggiano
RF	1	Giancarlo Stanton D.L. Giancarlo Stanton took live batting practice Wednesday for the first time since straining his right hamstring. "He looked good," manager Mike Redmond said afterward. "I’m just going off the results. He was hitting them out. It’s another encouraging sign that he’s a little closer to being back on the field." Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 and is still without a timetable. The best guess is that he's activated around mid-June. May 23
	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. Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) will make his first minor league rehab start with High-A Jupiter on Saturday. Eovaldi will be limited to between 60 and 70 pitches in the game. He's been sidelined since the end of spring training with inflammation in his right shoulder. He'll need a few rehab starts to get fully stretched out, but could join the Marlins rotation in early June if all goes well. May 24
	3	Kevin Slowey Sidelined Kevin Slowey left Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with a left lat strain. The Marlins are calling him day-to-day, so it's evidently a minor strain. He will be reevaluated on Thursday before it's determined whether he can make his next start. Slowey was pitching well Wednesday before getting hurt, tossing five innings of one-run ball on six hits and no walks while recording six strikeouts. May 22
	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
	7	Tom Koehler
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Steve Cishek
	2	Mike Dunn
	3	Ryan Webb
	4	Chad Qualls
	5	A.J. Ramos
	6	Duane Below
	7	Wade LeBlanc
	8	Jose Ceda D.L. Marlins placed RHP Jose Ceda on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. The hard-throwing right-hander is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He should be ready for game action when his 60 days are up. Mar 31
