Christian Roa Outrighted To Triple-A
The Miami Marlins outrighted right-hander Christian Roa to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. Roa is now off the team's 40-man roster this offseason. Roa spent the 2024 season in the minors with the Cincinnati Reds but was claimed off waivers on Nov. 1. The 25-year-old went 4-5 with a 5.55 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, 47 strikeouts and 30 walks in 48 2/3 innings pitched over 23 appearances (four starts) at Triple-A Louisville. He ended the 2024 campaign on the shelf due to a sprained right shoulder. The former second-round selection by the Reds in 2020 out of Texas A&M has yet to reach the big leagues and will most likely start the 2025 campaign with Jacksonville if he makes it through spring training with the club. In his four minor-league seasons, Roa has posted a 4.46 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and a 386:202 K:BB in 318 2/3 innings over 86 appearances (62 starts).
