Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release

PENSACOLA, Fla. - 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 Pensacola Blue Wahoos at Blue Wahoos Stadium at 7:35 p.m. eastern.

Second baseman Isan Diaz has been transferred from Jacksonville to Triple-A New Orleans. Diaz played in 83 games for the Jumbo Shrimp, hitting .245 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI. He is the reigning Southern League Player of the Week for July 9-15, an honor he also earned from June 4-10. Diaz is regarded by MLB.com as the Marlins No. 7 prospect, and this is the first call-up to the Triple-A level in his career.

In a corresponding move, infielder Justin Twine has been transferred from High-A Jupiter to Jacksonville. Twine played in 70 games for the Hammerheads, hitting .235 with three home runs and 31 RBI. This is the first call-up to the Double-A level in Twine's career, and he was originally selected by the Marlins in the second round (No. 43 overall) in the 2014 draft out of Falls City High School in Falls City, Texas.

The Jumbo Shrimp continue their series in Pensacola at 7:35 p.m. Thursday, when Jacksonville right-hander Max Duval (2-9) is scheduled to face Blue Wahoos right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez (7-8). The Jumbo Shrimp return home to face Montgomery on Monday, July 23, at 7 p.m. Gates open at 6 p.m. for VyStar Credit Union Charity Begins at Home with Mission House raising funds through ticket sales and the Launch-A-Ball promotion.
