Marlins option P Soriano, call up SS Gray from AAA
The Miami Marlins purchased the contract of shortstop Tristan Gray from Triple-A Jacksonville and optioned right-hander George Soriano.
To open a spot on the 40-man roster, the Marlins placed right-hander J.T. Chargois (neck) to the 60-day injured list.
Gray, 28, has just two games of major league experience last season with the Tampa Bay Rays. He is back in the big leagues after signing a minor league deal with the Marlins in the offseason and earned his promotion after hitting 10 home runs with 23 RBIs at Jacksonville.
Soriano, 25, was 0-1 with a 9.26 ERA in 10 relief appearances with Miami this season.
Chargois, 33, has not pitched for the Marlins this season after dealing with neck spasms since February. In six major league seasons with five different clubs, he is 13-6 with a 3.55 ERA in 208 appearances (eight starts).
