Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Miami Marlins announced a pair of transactions that impact their Double-A affiliate Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp roster prior to tonight's game against the Birmingham Barons at Regions Field at 8:05 p.m. ET.

Right-handed relief pitcher Travis Ballew has been transferred to High-A Jupiter. With the Jumbo Shrimp, Ballew had no wins or losses in two relief outings, working a scoreless two innings where he only allowed one hit.

In a corresponding move, right-handed relief pitcher Ryan Beckman has been reinstated from Jacksonville's disabled list to the active roster. Beckman pitched in one game for the Jumbo Shrimp on April 15 where in two innings he allowed five runs (all earned) on four hits with four walks and no strikeouts. Beckman was placed on the disabled list the following day with a right shin contusion.

The Jumbo Shrimp roster stands at 25 active players, and a revised roster is attached.

The Jumbo Shrimp and Barons will continue their series with the fourth game of the five-game set on Tuesday at Regions Field at 8:05 p.m. ET. Left-handed pitcher Mike Kickham (0-2, 6.60 ERA) will start for Jacksonville against Birmingham right-hander Michael Kopech (0-1, 3.75 ERA). Fans can listen to the game on the Jumbo Shrimp Network presented by Community First, beginning at 7:50 p.m. ET with the pregame show "Shrimp On Deck" on FM 100.3 & AM 1600 The Biz, the TuneIn Radio app, and www.jaxshrimp.com.
