Elvis Araújo (born July 15, 1991) is a Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Career
Araújo signed as an international free agent with the Cleveland Indians in 2007.[1] The Phillies signed Araujo to a major league contract on November 13, 2014.[2]
Araújo was promoted to the major leagues on May 2, 2015, making his debut on May 5. He earned his first career victory on May 15. While pitching only 1⁄3 of an inning, striking out the Arizona Diamondbacks' David Peralta to shut down the 7th inning for the Phillies defense, he was the pitcher of record when the Phillies regained the lead in the next half-inning.[3]
On November 18, 2016, Araújo was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins.[4]
