Soriano was added to the Marlins' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Soriano produced a 2.49 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 49:23 K:BB across 47 innings at Triple-A Jacksonville last season, so the Marlins opted to protect him from the upcoming Rule 5 draft. The 23-year-old could be in the mix for a spot on the Opening Day roster with a strong showing in spring training.

Chargois and Xavier Edwards were acquired by the Marlins from the Rays on Tuesday in exchange for Marcus Johnson and Santiago Suarez.

Chargois spent most of the summer on the injured list after he suffered an oblique strain in his season debut, but he was effective when available with a 2.42 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB over 22.1 innings. The 32-year-old should open 2023 in middle relief for Miami but could work his way into a higher-leverage role.

Jensen was added to the Cubs' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Jensen spent 2022 with Double-A Tennessee, recording a 4.25 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 59.1 innings spanning 17 starts. Jensen's biggest issue last season was walking too many batters, recording a 5.9 BB/9. If he can bring that number down and maintain his solid strikeout rate (9.1 K/9 in 2022), the 24-year-old righty could see big-league action within a few years.

Robinson was added to Milwaukee's 40-man roster Tuesday.

Robinson opened 2022 at High-A Wisconsin and produced a 1.45 ERA across 37.1 innings to earn a promotion to Double-A Biloxi, where he allowed only two earned runs in 13 appearances. He finished the campaign with Triple-A Nashville but struggled at the highest level of the minors with a 6.92 ERA over 13 frames. The 23-year-old came on strong last season and could make his major-league debut sometime in 2023.

Uribe was added to the Brewers' 40-man roster Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

No Brewers pitcher throws harder than Uribe, who has touched 104 mph with his fastball in the past. He struck out 14 while giving up one earned run and walking two in 10 innings in the Arizona Fall League after a knee injury limited him to three innings at Double-A this past year.

Santana was traded from Texas to Atlanta on Tuesday in exchange for cash.

The 26-year-old righty's 97.7 mph average fastball velocity last season was the top mark of his five-year MLB career. Santana's xERA (3.89) and FIP (3.35) were significantly lower than his 5.22 ERA in 58.2 innings. He could work in low-to-mid-leverage spots out of Atlanta's bullpen.

Cronin was added to the Nationals' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Cronin split time between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester in 2022, recording a 2.38 ERA and 1.09 WHIP between the two levels. The 25-year-old lefty will likely begin 2023 in Triple-A in preparation for joining Washington's bullpen at some point during the season.

Pint was added to the Rockies' 40-man roster Tuesday.

Pint, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 draft, stepped away from baseball in 2021 after significant struggles, but he rejoined the Rockies in March of 2022 and had some success as a reliever at Double-A and Triple-A. Now 25 years old, the former starter will focus on honing his command in order to contribute to the big-league bullpen in 2023.

Bracho was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Tuesday.

Tuesday is the deadline to add prospects to the 40-man roster as protection from the Rule 5 draft, and Bracho loses his roster spot to make room for the new additions. The 30-year-old journeyman reliever most recently was put on the 40-man roster late this past season and gave up three earned runs in 2.1 innings over his final and longest appearance with the big club.

Ridings (shoulder) was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Tuesday.

Ridings made his big-league debut for the Yankees in 2021, throwing five innings of relief. He battled shoulder issues for most of the 2022 season, throwing just a pair of rehab innings. If he gets healthy over the winter, he could push for a low-leverage relief role next spring.
