MIAMI -- The Marlins are in the process of compiling more Minor League pitching. On Wednesday afternoon, they acquired right-hander Tyler Stevens from the Angels for lefty Dillon Peters.
Peters was traded a day after he was designated for assignment on Tuesday. After a player is designated for assignment, a club has seven days to either work out a trade or release him. Stevens is not being added to the 40-man roster.
It was Miami's second Minor League trade in as many days. On Tuesday, the Marlins dealt third baseman Brian Schales to the Twins for right-hander Nick Anderson.
Peters, a 10th-round Draft pick from the University of Texas in 2014, appeared in seven games (five starts) for the Marlins in 2018. The lefty was 2-2 with a 7.16 ERA. He spent most of the season at Triple-A New Orleans, where he was 6-7 with a 5.61 ERA in 19 starts.
Stevens was an 18th-round Draft pick of the Angels in 2017 from the University of New Mexico. The 6-foot, 215-pound righty pitched at three levels in 2018 -- Class A Advanced, Double-A and Triple-A -- and he combined for a 7-6 record with a 5.43 ERA in 49 relief appearances. In 71 1/3 innings, he struck out 94 and walked 24.
