Victor Mesa Jr. Called Up by Marlins
The Miami Marlins announced on Monday that they recalled outfield prospect Victor Mesa Jr. from Triple-A Jacksonville and placed outfielder Derek Hill (wrist) on the 10-day injured list with a left-wrist sprain in a corresponding move. Mesa, the team's No. 26 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres, but he could see regular playing time in center field going forward with both Hill and Dane Myers (oblique) on the injured list at the moment. The 23-year-old Cuban gets his first call to the big leagues after dealing with a right-hamstring injury earlier this year and hitting .250 (14-for-56) with a homer, eight RBI and five runs scored in 16 games with Single-A Jupiter and Jacksonville. Mesa has surprising pop for a 5-foot-11, 195-pounder, but it hasn't showed up in the minors so far this year.
