MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins designated pitcher Chris Paddack for assignment on Tuesday, ending the veteran right-hander’s brief stint with the club.
The 30-year-old Paddack signed a one-year, $4 million free agent deal with the Marlins in the offseason and was targeted for an end-of-the rotation role. But Paddack struggled in his seven starts, posting an 0-5 record and 7.63 ERA. Paddack completed six innings in only one of his appearances.
The Marlins opted to cut ties with Paddack after his outing on Sunday, when he gave up six runs in the first inning against Philadelphia. He was removed after allowing seven runs over 2 2/3 innings.
“It came down to a performance thing,” Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said. “Throughout spring training, he was very open to the initiatives we have going here. We felt he could give us stability in the rotation. As we discussed further after the other day, now is the best time for us to look to make a change in that spot.”
Paddack was drafted by the Marlins in 2015 but traded to San Diego the following year while in Miami’s minor league system. He made his major league debut with the Padres in 2019. After three years in San Diego, he spent the next four seasons in Minnesota and Detroit.
Miami recalled right-handed pitcher William Kempner from Triple-A Jacksonville in the corresponding move.

CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) — A man shot five people in Texas on Tuesday, killing two of them, after meeting at a shopping center north of Dallas, police said.
It was not a random act of violence and the attacker knew both of the people who were fatally shot, Carrollton Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said.
“It was a known business relationship. We’re still trying to work to identify what caused his actions,” Arredondo said.
After a short chase on foot, the 69-year-old suspect, Seung Han Ho, was arrested about 4 miles (6 kilometers) away at a grocery store, police said. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.
Police were at a nearby apartment complex where Ho was listed as having recently lived. Neighbors said they didn’t recognize the name.
Three people were injured in the shooting but are in stable condition, Arredondo said. Shortly after the shooting, officers with their guns drawn walked past doors at K Towne Plaza in an area of Carrollton known as Koreatown. Agents from the FBI were among law enforcement collecting evidence in the parking lot.
Carrollton — population 130,000 — is 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Dallas. More than 4,000 residents are of Korean descent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
“We’re shocked,” said John Jun, who’s active in the Korean American community. “We’re not immune to something like this happening, but we are very generally a peaceful community that works hard.”
In the last 20 years, it has grown into a thriving Koreatown for the metro Dallas area, thanks to Korean investors. It’s anchored by big-box businesses like H Mart as well as dozens of restaurants serving everything from Korean fried chicken to shaved ice desserts.
The city is also home to multiple Korean churches from Baptist to Presbyterian.
