Following his stint with Laredo, Luis came back to the Bluefish and appeared in two games, compiling a 3.75 ERA with seven strikeouts over 12 innings of work.
In three seasons with the Bluefish, the 36-year-old has appeared in 35 games (20 starts). In 119.1 innings pitched, he recorded six victories and 97 strikeouts. Prior to joining the ‘Fish in 2004, Luis played for the Padres, Mets, Marlins, Blue Jays, Red Sox and Reds organizations, reaching the Triple-A level on four separate occasions. Over the course of 460 minor league appearances, the Puerto Rico native owns a 79-74 record with a 4.07 ERA and 1,108 strikeouts.
Luis was originally selected by the San Diego Padres in the 16th round of the 1992 amateur draft.
To make room on the roster, the Bluefish have released pitcher Riley Shuckerow.
