The Marlins claimed outfielder Derrick Gibson when the Colorado Rockies ran out of options on him. Gibson was ranked 81st in Baseball America’s top 100 list. He is the ninth Marlin on the list, more than any other team. The Marlins must keep Gibson on their major league roster or risk losing him to another team on waivers.

Hector Almonte, Amaury Garcia, and Julio Ramirez were optioned to AAA Calgary. Pablo Ozuna was sent to AA Portland while Chris Clapinski, Jason Grili and Chris Tremie were sent to the Minor League camp.
