Marlins' Jordan Yamamoto: Optioned to Triple-A

Yamamoto was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

The former Brewers farmhand only logged three starts at Double-A last year, so he was obviously going to open the year in the minors. Yamamoto has below-average fastball velocity but has been able to make it work with quality secondary offerings and deception. That may change as he faces more advanced hitters.
