The Florida Marlins have released Dewayne Wise after the outfielder exercised his out clause, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

Wise was originally signed by the Marlins to a Minor League deal in mid-January. He had been competing for a backup outfielder job with the Marlins, but he lost it to Scott Cousins.

Wise, 32, may be best remembered for his perfect game saving catch for Mark Buehrle in 2009 while with the Chicago White Sox.  In eight Major League seasons, he has hit .222/.260/.382.
