INF Pedro Ciriaco was acquired by the Marlins from the Rangers on Friday in exchange for RHP Eric Jokisch. Miami assigned Ciriaco to Triple-A New Orleans. In 51 games for Triple-A Round Rock this year, Ciriaco hit .268/.297/.320 with one homer and 18 RBIs.

Ciriaco was added to Tuesday's lineup in place of Andrelton Simmons.
The reason for Simmons' removal is not clear, but he was taken out of the lineup just minutes before first pitch, and thus Ciriaco will play shortstop and hit second Monday night.

Ciriaco went 2-for-3 with a homer and four RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Rays.
Ciriaco started at shortstop and batted ninth, driving in two with a single during a three-run second to help Atlanta go ahead 3-0. He then homered in the fifth for the first time since June 20, 2013 and hit a sac fly in the seventh for his fourth RBI of the game, tying his career high.

Ciriaco and Alberto Callaspo will handle the third base duties for the Braves with Phil Gosselin (thumb) and Chris Johnson (hand) on the disabled list, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.
Ciriaco has played third base just twice this year, but he could see more action there in the near future thanks to the injuries suffered by his fellow infielders. Ciriaco has just seven at-bats on the season, but he has made the most of his opportunities, tallying two doubles, a triple, three RBI, and two runs scored.
Sat May 2 201514:28Ciriaco had contract purchased by Braves on Saturday
Ciriaco had his contract purchased by the Braves on Saturday.
Ciriaco will give the Braves some extra depth in the infield following the injury to Chris Johnson (hand). He hasn't been overly impressive thus far at Triple-A Gwinnett, batting .234/.253/.286 with one home runs and seven RBI. The 29-year-old will likely be limited to pinch hitting and spot starts in his time with the club.
Tue Apr 7 201520:17Ciriaco will open year at Triple-A Gwinnett
Ciriaco will open the year at Triple-A Gwinnett, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez told Ciriaco on Saturday would make the Opening Day roster, but president of baseball operations John Hart pulled a stunner Sunday, trading Craig Kimbrel and Melvin Upton Jr. to San Diego for Cameron Maybin, Carlos Quentin, two prospects and a draft pick. Quentin was DFA'd, but Maybin took the roster spot that was supposed to go to Ciriaco.

Ciriaco was not added to Atlanta's 25-man roster before Sunday's 3 p.m. ET deadline to finalize the Opening Day roster, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
However, it's possible he may be added to the 25-man roster when the Braves make some additional roster moves after the Craig Kimbrel trade. Ciriaco was thought to have won a spot on the bench late in spring training.
Sat Apr 4 201514:40Ciriaco has earned Braves' final bench spot
Ciriaco has earned the Braves' final bench spot, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Earlier Saturday, the Braves sent Joe Benson and Todd Cunningham, the two players believed to be vying for the final bench spot, to minor league camp. It's a surprise, considering manager Fredi Gonzalez had gone out of his way to say the team needed a backup who could play center field -- Ciriaco really cannot -- and the team already has a couple utility infield options in Kelly Johnson and Phil Gosselin. While the 29-year-old Ciriaco has posted an .879 OPS in spring ball, he's just a .270/.299/.372 career hitter at the major league level (498 PA).
Sat Apr 4 201514:25Ciriaco believed to be favorite for Braves' final bench spot
Ciriaco is believed to be the favorite for the Braves' final bench spot, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Ciriaco has fared well in spring ball, going 21-for-56 with four extra-base hits (one homer) and 14 RBI, but he's done that in the past and then fallen apart in the regular season. Regardless, the Braves reportedly like his bat, though this is still surprising given that manager Fredi Gonzalez has stressed in recent days that the team needed a reserve who could play center field. Ciriaco has made just three appearances in center in his career, all coming back in 2012. Joe Benson and Todd Cunningham were both reassigned to minor league camp Saturday.

Padres designated INF Pedro Ciriaco for assignment.
With Yonder Alonso and Jedd Gyorko getting activated from the disabled list, Ciriaco proved to be the odd man out in the Padres infield. He hit .238/.284/.333 with a homer and six steals in his 23 games with the Friars. He's talented enough to where another team should be willing to take a chance on him in a utility role.

Fri Jun 21 201301:56Ciriaco hits a triple and homer in win
Pedro Ciriaco continued his offensive assault as a Padre on Thursday, going 2-for-4 with a triple, a homer, a stolen base, three RBI and two runs scored against the Dodgers.
Acquired from the Red Sox one week ago, Ciriaco is 7-for-17 with two stolen bases in a San Diego uniform, tallying an impressive .412/.444/.706 slash line. There's no chance he sustains a pace even close to this, but Ciriaco is worth using in NL-only formats until Jedd Gyorko is activated.

Acquired from the Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later on Friday, Ciriaco is now 3-for-9 over three games for the Friars. Ciriaco doesn't figure to play or hit enough to become fantasy relevant, but he's usable in deeper NL-only formats at the moment due to Jedd Gyorko's injury.
