Twins' Connor Gillispie: Scrubbed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Twins designated Gillispie for assignment Monday.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Michael Tonkin, who was called up from Triple-A St. Paul. Gillispie was a waiver claim of the Twins in late June but has been hammered for 22 runs over 13.2 innings during his time with St. Paul.

Twins' Connor Gillispie: Claimed by Minnesota
Rotowire
The Twins claimed Gillispie off waivers from the Marlins on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
The 27-year-old has made six starts for the Marlins this season, posting an 8.65 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 26 frames. Gillispie has experience as a starter and reliever, though it's not clear what role the Twins have planned for him. In any case, he'll provide some experienced pitching depth at St. Paul.

Marlins' Connor Gillispie: Pushed off 40-man
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Gillispie for assignment Thursday.
The 27-year-old lost his place in Miami's rotation in late April after posting an 8.65 ERA through six starts, and he'll now also lose his spot on the 40-man roster with Robinson Pina joining the Marlins' bullpen Thursday. Gillispie has turned in a 4.28 ERA over 33.2 innings in the minors this year, though his underwhelming MLB resume may prevent other teams from taking a chance on him.

The Marlins optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Gillispie was recalled by the Marlins on Saturday but did not make an appearance for the big club.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Eury Perez (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Gillespie gave up seven runs in just two innings during Saturday's loss to the Mariners. He's posted a 14.25 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 12 innings over his last three starts, and he will move to Triple-A to work on his control. Miami recalled Luarbert Arias from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Marlins' Connor Gillispie: Five strong innings against Mets
Rotowire
Gillispie didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mets after allowing one run on four hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out six.
Facing a vaunted Mets lineup, Gillispie produced better results than when he gave up four runs in five frames during his first start of the year against Pittsburgh. Other than an RBI double from Pete Alonso in the first inning, it was rather smooth sailing for Gillispie. The 27-year-old right-hander threw just 73 pitches Wednesday, so he'll search for more length in his next scheduled start, which is scheduled to be a road rematch with the Mets early next week.

Marlins' Connor Gillispie: Takes loss against Pirates
Rotowire
Gillispie (0-1) surrendered four runs (three earned) on four hits in five innings, with four punchouts and four walks while taking the loss to the Pirates on Friday.
Making his first career start in the show, Gillispie kept the Pirates off the board through three innings and was pitching well, but the tide turned in the fourth inning. The 27-year-old issued back-to-back walks to Oneil Cruz and Joey Bart before veteran Andrew McCutchen delivered an RBI double to left, which scored Cruz. Bart would come around to score on a sacrifice fly a few batters later, and the righty allowed a two-run homer to Cruz an inning later. Gillispie had just eight career innings under his belt before this outing and is filling in for injured Marlins starters Edward Cabrera (finger) and Ryan Weathers (forearm). He is tentatively scheduled to pitch next week against the Mets.

Marlins' Connor Gillispie: Named to Opening Day rotation
Rotowire
Gillispie will begin the season as part of the Marlins' rotation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Manager Clayton McCullough made the announcement Friday. Injuries to Edward Cabrera (finger) and Ryan Weathers (forearm) opened up a couple spots in Miami's rotation, and Gillispie stepped up in camp to claim one of them by posting a 0.75 ERA and 6:3 K:BB through 12 Grapefruit League innings. He's set to make his Marlins debut March 30 against the Pirates.

Braves' Connor Gillispie: Signs with Atlanta
Rotowire
Gillispie signed a one-year deal with Atlanta on Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Gillispie spent most of the 2024 regular-season with Triple-A Columbus, and over 27 games (including 15 starts) he went 5-7 with a 4.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 119:48 K:BB across 113.1 innings. He did make three appearances for the Guardians during the regular season, and across eight innings of work he allowed two runs on four hits and five walks while striking out eight batters. Gillispie will have an opportunity to carve out a role for himself either in Atlanta's starting rotation or out of the bullpen as a potential long-relief option.

Guardians' Connor Gillispie: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians returned Gillispie to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.
Gillespie was sent back to Columbus after he served as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks, only to go unused in both ends of the twin bill. The Guardians have another doubleheader on tap Friday versus the Twins, but Joey Cantillo was called up from Triple-A to serve as the 27th man this time around.

Guardians' Connor Gillispie: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians recalled Gillispie from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.
Gillispie was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Guardians two days later since Cleveland is designating him as its 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks. The right-handed reliever will presumably head back to Columbus once the twin bill is completed.

Guardians' Connor Gillispie: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Gillispie was brought up to the big club Sunday and gave up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out three over three innings of relief in his MLB debut in Cleveland's 9-5 loss to Baltimore. Since he was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for at least the next couple of days, Gillispie will move off the active roster to clear room for Logan Allen, who was called up from Columbus to start Monday against the Diamondbacks. Gillispie has logged a 4.01 ERA across 89.2 innings for Columbus this season.
