The Orioles signed Villanueva to a minor league deal Friday, MASN Sports reports. | ||||||
Villanueva led the Dominican League with a 2.46 and 46 strikeouts over the winter and the Orioles will take a flier on the 28-year-old who has one MLB appearance back in 2011. Villanueva should provide organizational depth and it would likely take several injuries for him to get a shot with the Orioles this season. | ||||||

Marlins designated RHP Elih Villanueva for assignment. | ||||||
Villanueva was cleared to make room for Greg Dobbs on the 40-man roster.

He could sneak through waivers unclaimed. | ||||||

Marlins purchased the contract of RHP Elih Villanueva from Triple-A New Orleans. | ||||||
An expected move, as Villanueva will make his first major league start in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Phillies. The 24-year-old right-hander had a 5.23 ERA and 47/28 K/BB over 13 starts with the Triple-A level this season, so it would be wise to avoid him in any and all fantasy formats. | ||||||

Elih Villanueva will be promoted from Triple-A New Orleans Wednesday to start against the Phillies. | ||||||
The Marlins are playing a doubleheader with the Phils on Wednesday and Villanueva will get the front end. A 24-year-old Miami native, he has posted an ugly 5.23 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 13 starts at the Triple-A level this season and should be avoided in all fantasy leagues. | ||||||
