Rob Brantly News: Cut by Miami

The Marlins released Brantly on Monday.

Brantly appeared in three games for the Marlins in April before landing on the injured list due to a strained right lat and then knee inflammation before he was designated for assignment July 14 once he was activated. The veteran backstop accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Jacksonville after clearing waivers, but he'll end up being cut loose despite slashing .359/.390/.590 over 41 plate appearances with Miami's top affiliate. Now a free agent, Brantly could land a minor-league deal with an organization that's short on catching depth.
