Marlins claim Scott Maine off waivers

The Marlins claimed left-handed relief pitcher Scott Maine off waivers.

For Maine, it’s sort of a homecoming. He’s a native of Palm Beach Gardens and a graduate of Dwyer High School.

Maine was nearly killed in an accident on Florida’s Turnpike in 2005. But he came back and made his debut for the Chicago Cubs in 2010.

Maine, 27, posted a 1-2 record with a 10.50 ERA in nine appearances for the Cleveland Indians in 2012.

He will compete for a bullpen spot with the Marlins this spring.
