Marlins Call Up Jared Serna for Major League Debut

The Miami Marlins have announced the recall of infielder Jared Serna, who will make his major league debut following the placement of Xavier Edwards on the ten-day injured list due to a left thumb sprain. Manager Clayton McCullough indicated that Edwards was likely dealing with this injury.

Serna, 24, was originally signed by the Yankees from Mexico and joined the Marlins as part of the trade involving Jazz Chisholm Jr. in July 2024. He has a minor league record that includes 43 home runs and a .265 batting average over 1,551 plate appearances from 2021 to 2024. However, his performance has declined since the start of the 2025 season, with only 15 home runs in 814 plate appearances.

Despite the recent downturn, Serna was ranked as the #27 prospect in the Marlins' system by FanGraphs in June, praised for his defensive skills at shortstop and potential utility across multiple positions. He is currently in his second option year, allowing the team flexibility regarding his roster status.
