Lindgren filled in for veteran Johnny Cueto in his debut and pitched five innings in relief, allowing four earned runs. Despite his efforts, Lindgren was designated for assignment and went unclaimed on waivers earlier this week.

As a result, he will return to the minors to serve as emergency pitching depth for the Marlins organization.

"I had goosebumps."
