The Rakuten Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League signed Bermudez to a contract Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Bermudez debuted with the Marlins this past season, allowing six runs over 6.2 innings, before being removed from their 40-man roster. The 29-year-old lefty has mostly been a starter in the minors, although it's not clear what role the Monkeys have planned for him.

Rotowire
The Marlins outrighted Bermudez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
Bermudez was designated for assignment Thursday and will report to Triple-A after failing to draw interest on the waiver wire. He owns a 6.46 ERA and 1.72 WHIP with a 28:13 K:BB across 23.2 frames this season for Jacksonville.

Marlins' Jonathan Bermudez: Kicked off 40-man
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Bermudez for assignment Thursday.
In two appearances since being selected from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Bermudez allowed four earned runs across three innings while striking out one batter and walking two. He'll now give up his spot on the 40-man roster for Jeff Lindgren, who was selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move, and Bermudez will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed.

Marlins' Jonathan Bermudez: First major-league start Wednesday
Rotowire
Bermudez will make his first major-league start Wednesday against the Pirates, Stephen Storm of the Marlins Radio Network reports.
Bermudez's first two appearances with the Marlins have come in relief, but 17 of his 20 outings between Double-A Pensacola and Triple-A Jacksonville have been starts. His last start came more than three weeks ago, however, so the lefty will likely be a bit limited in how deep he'll be able to go into Wednesday's contests. Bermudez turned in unremarkable numbers over his six starts with Jacksonville (6.46 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB in 23.2 innings).

Marlins' Jonathan Bermudez: Selected from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins selected Bermudez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
Just four days after being sent outright to Jacksonville, Bermudez will now rejoin the active roster to give the Marlins an additional bullpen arm capable of handling multiple innings. The 28-year-old southpaw allowed two earned runs in 3.2 innings during his MLB debut Aug. 27 and will presumably be used in long relief again while with the Marlins. Austin Kitchen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Marlins' Jonathan Bermudez: Remains in organization
Rotowire
The Marlins outrighted Bermudez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Bermudez is no longer on the team's 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as a depth arm. The lefty has been used primarily as a starter at Jacksonville, so he could get stretched back out after most recently working out of the bullpen with the big club.

Marlins' Jonathan Bermudez: DFA'd by Fish
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Bermudez for assignment Saturday.
Bermudez was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville shortly after he threw 3.2 innings of two-run ball in his MLB debut Tuesday, and the promotion of infielder Jose Devers will now leave him without a spot on the 40-man roster once again. The 28-year-old southpaw has performed poorly at Triple-A, posting a 5.74 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 15.2 innings since the start of August.

Astros' Jonathan Bermudez: Back in action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Bermudez (hip) returned to action for Triple-A Sugar Land on July 22 and has given up eight runs on six hits and three walks while striking out nine over 5.2 innings in his two appearances.
Though he never landed on Sugar Land's injured list, Bermudez was sidelined for about a month with right hip discomfort. The 26-year-old lefty served up three home runs in his first two outings since returning, adding to what has already been a frustrating season. Over his 57.1 innings with Sugar Land in 2022, Bermudez owns an 8.16 ERA and 1.79 WHIP.

Astros' Jonathan Bermudez: Dealing with right hip discomfort
Rotowire
The Astros announced Thursday that Bermudez is dealing with right hip discomfort, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Bermudez hasn't taken the mound in over a week, and the hip injury provides an explanation for his absence. The southpaw hasn't been placed on the injured list, but it's not yet clear when he's expected to return to action.
