Marlins' Tommy Medica: Outrighted, invited to spring training

Medica was outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday, but he still holds an invite to the Marlins' major league spring training, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

After going unclaimed on waivers, Medica will join the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate in New Orleans but he will have a chance to make the big league club out of spring training. Medica has put his best foot forward in previous spring training stints with the Padres and very nearly made their Opening Day roster a year ago, so he could be a sleeper to keep an eye on once camp opens.
