Elvis Araujo: To play in Japan
Araujo will play for the Chunichi Dragons in Japan in 2017, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
He was designated for assignment by the Marlins earlier on Friday and will opt to play overseas rather than ride busses stateside this upcoming season. As a result, he will not have any fantasy value for the foreseeable future.

Marlins' Elvis Araujo: Designated for assignment
Araujo was designated for assignment on Friday, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
The Marlins made the Brad Ziegler signing official on Friday and needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, so Araujo was designated for assignment to accommodate. He has a 4.35 ERA in 62 big league innings and has yet to harness his pitches (12.6 percent walk rate) to the point that he can be an effective major league reliever.

Marlins' Elvis Araujo: Heading to Marlins
Araujo was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Friday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old spent a good amount of time in the Phillies bullpen last season, but he found little success as his 5.60 ERA and 1.90 WHIP portray. Araujo misses a lot of bats, but his control problems could keep him in a Quad-A role despite the change of scenery.

Phillies' Elvis Araujo: Optioned to Lehigh Valley
Araujo was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Araujo strung together a handful of strong appearances to begin the month of August, but he self-destructed Tuesday, allowing six earned runs while recording just one out in a 15-5 loss to the Dodgers. He'll head down to Triple-A to get straightened out, and the team will bring up Frank Herrmann to fill his spot on the roster.

Phillies' Elvis Araujo: Expected to be recalled
Araujo is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace the injured Zach Eflin, Matt Gelb of the Philly Inquirer reports.
As Eflin heads to the DL, Araujo may get another chance to show why he deserves a spot with the big club. With a 5.63 ERA and 1.88 WHIP, he's failed to impress this season. However, he's had much better results with Lehigh Valley, where he owns a 2.63 ERA.

Phillies' Elvis Araujo: Optioned back to Lehigh Valley
Araujo was optioned back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday following the loss to San Francisco, Ryan Lawrence of The Philly Voice reports.
Araujo was recalled to the team prior to Thursday's game, but will be sent back to Lehigh Valley less than a day into his big league stay. Throughout the course of the season, Araujo has posted a 5.87 ERA with a 1.91 WHIP during 23 innings of relief at the major league level.

Phillies' Elvis Araujo: Recalled by Phillies
Araujo was recalled by the Phillies on Thursday, CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury reports.
He will replace Wednesday's spot starter, Phil Klein, on the roster, adding to the Phillies' bullpen depth. He has a 5.87 ERA in 23 big league innings this season. While his 25.2 percent K-rate is solid, his 11.7 percent walk rate has gotten him into trouble. He could be sent down next week when the Phillies presumably recall pitching prospect Jake Thompson to join the rotation.
