Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 6:10 PM
Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Thursday's 12-5 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Ramirez has logged a trio of multi-hit efforts over his last six games, going 8-for-22 (.364) with two homers and seven RBI in that span. The catcher is warming up but still has a .247/.294/.466 slash line through 55 contests overall. He's added 12 homers, 30 RBI, 28 runs scored, 12 doubles and one stolen base. Ramirez is playing nearly everyday between catcher and designated hitter, though the Marlins also have backstops Nick Fortes and Liam Hicks in the mix. |

Janson Junk Janson Junk Rough outing in San Francisco
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 6:00 PM
Junk allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out one without walking a batter over 3.2 innings in a no-decision Thursday versus the Giants.
Analysis: Junk avoided walking a batter, but that was about the only positive to take from this unusually high-scoring contest at Oracle Park. He hasn't issued a walk in any of his last three outings, allowing six runs over 14.1 innings while adding 10 strikeouts. Junk won those previous two appearances and looks poised to have first dibs on the rotation spot that opened up when Max Meyer (hip) was ruled out for the season. Junk is at a 3.73 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 26:2 K:BB across 31.1 innings over seven appearances this year. The 29-year-old is projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins. |

Derek Hill Derek Hill Cleared for rehab assignment
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 1:39 PM
Hill (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Hill has been sidelined for the past month with a left wrist sprain but has been cleared to play in rehab games. He'll likely require just a handful of rehab at-bats, with a return for the start of the Marlins' homestand on Tuesday representing a possible target date for Hill's return. |

Liam Hicks Liam Hicks Idle Thursday
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 12:21 PM
Hicks isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus San Francisco.
Analysis: Hicks will get a chance to catch his breath Thursday after going 5-for-16 with an RBI and a run scored across his last five games. His absence will put Agustin Ramirez in the DH spot while Nick Fortes starts behind the plate. |

Otto Lopez Otto Lopez Drives in three in Wednesday's win
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 11:35 AM
Lopez went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Giants.
Analysis: The 26-year-old infielder came through with one of the game's biggest hits, bringing home Nick Fortes in the top of the 10th inning to break open a 4-4 tie and spark a four-run rally for the Marlins. Lopez has been locked in at the plate of late, slashing .347/.389/.367 over the last 12 games with five runs, seven RBI and a steal, but Wednesday's double was his first extra-base hit of any kind since June 9. |

Matt Mervis Matt Mervis Out at Triple-A with oblique strain
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 11:28 AM
Mervis has been placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Jacksonville with an oblique strain, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: Mervis has dealt with the injury for a couple days and didn't improve enough to avoid the IL. He's slashed .246/.309/.623/.932 with six home runs in 16 games with Jacksonville after being removed from the Marlins' 40-man roster. |

Heriberto Hernandez Heriberto Hernandez Plates four runs in victory
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 3:11 AM
Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a double and four RBI in an 8-5 extra-inning win against San Francisco on Wednesday.
Analysis: Hernandez broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run single in the eighth inning and drove in two more runs with a double in the 10th. The four RBI were one more than he had notched over 16 games this season coming into play. Hernandez hadn't started in any of Miami's three games prior to Wednesday, but he's hit well when given the opportunity, posting a .340/.377/.480 slash line through 53 plate appearances. |

Calvin Faucher Calvin Faucher Blows save but nabs victory
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 2:27 AM
Faucher (3-2) earned the win but blew a save against the Giants on Wednesday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk over one inning.
Analysis: Though he was credited with the victory, this was far from a good outing by the right-hander. Faucher hit two batters and walked another during his time on the mound, and the single he allowed would have ended the game if not for Jung Hoo Lee getting thrown out trying to score. The blown save was Faucher's first since May 26, and he recorded six saves across 10.2 innings during that span. With that in mind, he's probably still the Marlins' top option for saves despite Wednesday's rough appearance. |

Edward Cabrera Edward Cabrera Fans six in no-decision
Thu, Jun 26, 2025, 2:18 AM
Cabrera allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Wednesday.
Analysis: Cabrera served up a solo homer to the first batter he faced, but he was relatively good after that, yielding just one more run over the remainder of his outing. The right-hander tossed 54 of 90 pitches for strikes and notched a healthy six punchouts -- breaking a streak of four straight outings with exactly five strikeouts -- but didn't get enough run support while he was in the game to get the win. Cabrera hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his past six starts, and he's posted a 1.80 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB over 30 frames during that stretch. |

Eric Wagaman Eric Wagaman Sitting down Wednesday
Wed, Jun 25, 2025, 6:14 PM
Wagaman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Wagaman extended his hitting streak to seven games Tuesday with a double, but he'll take a seat Wednesday while Liam Hicks starts at first base, opening a spot in the lineup for Heriberto Hernandez to serve as the DH. |

Max Meyer Max Meyer Out for season
Tue, Jun 24, 2025, 6:41 PM
Meyer is scheduled to undergo season-ending labral repair surgery on his left hip Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: The recovery timeline for Meyer's surgery is roughly 6-8 months, which means his season has officially come to an early end. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.73 ERA and 1.42 WHIP alongside a 68:20 K:BB earned across 64.2 innings (12 starts). |

Janson Junk Janson Junk Awarded another start
Mon, Jun 23, 2025, 12:22 PM
Junk is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Giants in San Francisco, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Junk will make his second straight start and his third consecutive turn through the rotation overall, after he previously worked in bulk relief in a July 14 victory over Washington. The right-hander has been credited with the win in both of his last two appearances while permitting just one earned run on seven hits and no walks while striking out nine over 10.2 innings. Junk doesn't have a long track record of success at the big-league level, but he should be able to hold down a rotation spot for Miami until Max Meyer (hip) or Ryan Weathers (lat) is ready to return from the injured list. |

Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Ends power drought
Mon, Jun 23, 2025, 8:48 AM
Stowers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
Analysis: The 27-year-old took Bryce Elder deep in the second inning to get the Marlins on the board. It was Stowers' 11th long ball of the season but his first since May 14, snapping a 31-game drought in which he's slashed a meager .228/.291/.297 with only five RBI. Stowers is showing signs of coming out of the slump even apart from the home run, however -- over his last 10 contests, he's gone 7-for-27 (.259) with three extra-base hits and a 5:6 BB:K. |

Xavier Edwards Xavier Edwards On base four times Sunday
Mon, Jun 23, 2025, 8:44 AM
Edwards went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.
Analysis: The 25-year-old infielder continues to pile up hits in June. Edwards is slashing .357/.430/.414 through 18 contests on the month, and while a lack of power still limits his fantasy ceiling -- he has yet to hit a homer in 2025 -- he's supplied three steals, five RBI and 10 runs during that span as the Marlins' leadoff hitter. |

Ronny Henriquez Ronny Henriquez Picks up second save
Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 6:14 PM
Henriquez earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over Atlanta, allowing one hit while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis: Henriquez allowed a leadoff single to Alex Verdugo to lead off the ninth, though he got Michael Harris to ground into a double play before striking out Sean Murphy to close out his second save this season. The Marlins have taken a committee approach to the ninth inning this year, though Henriquez has become one of their more trusted relief options. The 25-year-old right-hander has posted a 3.00 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 36 innings this year. |

Sandy Alcantara Sandy Alcantara Grabs fourth win
Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 6:09 PM
Alcantara (4-8) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
Analysis: After a rough start to the season, Alcantara looks to be turning things around, posting a 2.74 ERA in his last four outings (23 innings). Overall, the 29-year-old Alcantara has posted a 6.69 ERA with a 1.46 WHIP and 59:34 K:BB across 15 starts (74 innings) this year after missing the 2024 campaign following Tommy John surgery. Alcantara is currently slated to face the Diamondbacks on the road his next time out. |

Cal Quantrill Cal Quantrill Penciled in to start Tuesday
Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 3:42 PM
Quantrill (hamstring) is scheduled to start Tuesday against the GIants, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: The right-hander dealt with a cramp in his left hamstring during his previous start last Tuesday against the Phillies, but it won't affect his availability for the next turn through the rotation. Quantrill hasn't given up more than three earned runs in a start since April 30, and he has a 3.93 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 36.2 innings during that eight-start stretch. |

Connor Norby Connor Norby Resting up Sunday
Sun, Jun 22, 2025, 12:35 PM
Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis: After going 4-for-19 with a home run, four walks, one stolen base, two RBI and an additional run while starting six straight games, Norby will get a breather. Javier Sanoja will fill in for Norby at third base. |

Eury Perez Eury Perez Strikes out six in loss
Sat, Jun 21, 2025, 8:56 PM
Perez (0-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
Analysis: Perez allowed a run in the first inning and was charged with two more before failing to escape the fifth. While the 22-year-old has yet to complete five frames in any of his three starts since debuting June 9, he threw 58 of 89 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs and touched 100 mph twice with his fastball. He'll carry a 6.17 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, and 11:7 K:BB across 11.2 innings into a tough matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend. |
