Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Miami Marlins announced a pair of transactions that impact their Double-A affiliate Jacksonville Suns roster prior to tonight's games against the Mobile BayBears at Bragan Field at 5:05 p.m.

Left-handed relief pitcher Alex Burgos has been transferred from Jacksonville to Triple-A New Orleans. In four relief appearances, Burgos was 1-1 with a 1.13 ERA in eight innings pitched.

In a corresponding move, right-handed pitcher Tyler Bremer has been transferred from Triple-A New Orleans to Jacksonville. With the Zephyrs Bremer had no wins or losses in five appearances with a 5.00 ERA, allowing five runs in nine innings pitched. Bremer has spent the majority of the 2015 season with High-A Jupiter, going 0-3 with a 2.33 ERA in 37 appearances with four saves.

Bremer was acquired by the Marlins in a August 8, 2014 trade with the Chicago Cubs along with righth-handed pitcher Jose Arias in exchange for right-handed starting pitcher Jacob Turner.
