When the Cincinnati Reds placed Homer Bailey on the 60-day DL, they were able to claim Nefi Ogando off of waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ogando made his MLB debut with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2015. Through 2015 Ogando spent his entire career in the Phillies’ organization as a relief pitcher.
In 2016 Ogando had a decent season for Triple-A New Orleans, but looked dominant for the Marlins. He pitched 14 innings allowing only four runs and no home runs in Miami. He also had one hold for the Marlins.
Coming up through the minors, Ogando was mostly a one inning reliever.
