Agustin Ramirez Agustin Ramirez Pair of hits, homer Wed, May 14, 2025, 10:38 PM Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs. Analysis: Ramirez notched a pair of extra-base hits, logging a double and a solo home run off Jameson Taillon. The 23-year-old rookie has been off to a strong start in 2025. In 82 plate appearances, Ramirez is slashing .260/.305/.571 with five homers, nine doubles and 10 RBI.
Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Launches pair of homers Wed, May 14, 2025, 10:37 PM Stowers went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a triple during Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs. Analysis: Stowers tagged Cubs starter Jameson Taillon for a pair of solo homers, one in the second inning and one in the fourth, bringing the Marlins back into the win column by snapping a three-game losing streak. It was the 27-year-old's third multi-homer game in his last 13 appearances. He's 15-for-48 (.313) with eight home runs and 14 RBI during that stretch.
Jesus Tinoco Jesus Tinoco Bounces back with perfect inning Wed, May 14, 2025, 10:35 PM Tinoco picked up the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Cubs, throwing a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout. Analysis: Tinoco blew a save Tuesday night, but he retook the mound Wednesday for the ninth frame with the Marlins leading 3-1 and fired a perfect inning. He retired Carson Kelly, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner in order. In 14 appearances, Tinoco has a 4.61 ERA and a 9:6 K:BB over 13.2 innings.
Ryan Weathers Ryan Weathers Goes five strong in debut Wed, May 14, 2025, 10:33 PM Weathers (1-0) picked up the win Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with five strikeouts across five innings. Analysis: Miami activated Weathers off the injured list for Wednesday's start after a forearm injury kept the 25-year-old sidelined since the beginning of the season. While he threw only 76 pitches - an expected outcome after maxing out at 57 pitches during his rehab assignment - Weathers took care of business against a potent Cubs offense. His lone blemish came in the fourth inning when Seiya Suzuki lifted a solo homer. His next start is scheduled for Tuesday in a rematch with the Cubs.
Valente Bellozo Valente Bellozo Shifting to bullpen role Wed, May 14, 2025, 5:28 PM Bellozo will transition to the bullpen with the Marlins reinstating Ryan Weathers (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Analysis: The 25-year-old Bellozo started in his first five MLB appearances of the season, and he pitched well with a 3.27 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 16:11 K:BB across 22 innings. The performance was enough to retain his spot on the major-league roster, and the right-hander will be a prime candidate to re-enter the rotation should Miami suffer an injury to another starting pitcher.
Derek Hill Derek Hill Hitting bench Wednesday Wed, May 14, 2025, 4:53 PM Hill is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. Analysis: After being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Hill started in center field in the first two games of the series with Atlanta and went 2-for-8 with a home run, a stolen base, two RBI and an additional run. Kyle Stowers will get the nod in center Wednesday, but Hill should see the bulk of the starts at the position until Dane Myers (oblique) returns from the IL.
Anthony Veneziano Anthony Veneziano Sent to Triple-A Wed, May 14, 2025, 4:08 PM The Marlins optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday. Analysis: His demotion clears a spot on the 26-man active roster for lefty Ryan Weathers (forearm), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Cubs. Veneziano has a 4.86 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, four holds and a 15:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings with Miami this season, but he allowed four runs (including three home runs) over his last three outings.
Ryan Weathers Ryan Weathers Activated ahead of start Wed, May 14, 2025, 4:08 PM The Marlins reinstated Weathers (forearm) from the injured list prior to his start against the Cubs on Wednesday. Analysis: A forearm strain has kept Weathers on the injured list since the beginning of the season. After making three rehab starts in the minors and turning in a 1.69 ERA across 10.2 innings, the 25-year-old southpaw is now ready to make his season debut for Miami. He'll be welcomed back to the big leagues by a Cubs offense that currently ranks fourth in MLB with a .768 OPS, and he isn't expected to pitch very deep into Wednesday's contest after throwing just 57 pitches during his final rehab outing. Anthony Veneziano was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.
Connor Norby Connor Norby Slugs second homer Wed, May 14, 2025, 8:32 AM Norby went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs. Analysis: The third baseman extended his hitting streak to eight games with a fifth-inning three-bagger before taking Julian Merryweather deep in the seventh -- Norby's second homer of the year. After making a belated start to the campaign due to an oblique strain, Norby seems to be finding his rhythm, and through 83 plate appearances he's slashing .269/.313/.436 with four steals, six RBI and 14 runs.
Jesus Tinoco Jesus Tinoco Blows save Tuesday Wed, May 14, 2025, 8:26 AM Tinoco (2-1) blew his first save of the season and took the loss Tuesday as the Marlins fell 5-4 to the Cubs, recording just one out in the ninth inning. He was charged with three runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk. Analysis: A Xavier Edwards error put the leadoff hitter aboard in the ninth for the Cubs, and Tinoco was never able to regain his focus before eventually serving up a walk-off double to Justin Turner. The Marlins' closing picture remains a mess, but Tinoco leads the team with three saves, although chances have been few and far between of late with Miami in a 3-13 tailspin. On the season, the 30-year-old right-hander carries a 4.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB through 12.2 innings.
Valente Bellozo Valente Bellozo No-decision in short outing Wed, May 14, 2025, 8:20 AM Bellozo came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs, giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk over four-plus innings. He struck out two. Analysis: Bellozo pitched into the fifth inning but got the hook after 74 pitches (46 strikes) when the first two Chicago hitters reached base on a hit by pitch and an Eric Wagaman throwing error. The right-hander has provided effective rotation depth in May, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB through 14 innings over three outings, but with Ryan Weathers (forearm) set to come off the IL on Wednesday, Bellozo could be headed back to Triple-A Jacksonville.
Derek Hill Derek Hill Goes yard in return Tue, May 13, 2025, 8:34 AM Hill went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's loss to the Cubs. Analysis: Making his return from the injured list, Hill spoiled Colin Rea's shutout bid by driving a fastball over the fence in left-center field in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old outfielder had been out since April 16 due to a wrist injury, but with Dane Myers (oblique) taking his place on the IL, Hill figures to get regular run in center field for the Marlins despite his offensive struggles. Through 52 plate appearances this season, he's slashing .174/.240/.348 with two homers, three steals, five RBI and eight runs, and after fanning twice Monday, he's saddled with a 36.5 percent strikeout rate.
Cal Quantrill Cal Quantrill Suffers fourth loss Mon, May 12, 2025, 9:22 PM Quantrill (2-4) took the loss Monday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings with one strikeout. Analysis: The Miami right-hander was cruising through four scoreless innings before unraveling in the fifth during this 83-pitch effort. In the fifth frame, Quantrill conceded three runs on three hits, including a Dansby Swanson two-run long ball. Across 36 total innings, Quantrill has pitched to an unsightly 7.00 ERA and 1.72 WHIP while failing to earn a quality start in any of his eight outings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Cubs again but at home next week.
Javier Sanoja Javier Sanoja Not in Monday's lineup Mon, May 12, 2025, 5:21 PM Sanoja is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Cubs on Monday. Analysis: Sanoja will begin Monday's series opener in the dugout while Ronny Simon starts at second base and bats sixth. After a strong start to the season, Sanoja has cooled off over his last 13 games, slashing .152/.222/.242 with one stolen base, three runs scored and one RBI over that span.
Eric Wagaman Eric Wagaman Not in Monday's lineup Mon, May 12, 2025, 4:03 PM Wagaman is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cubs. Analysis: Wagaman is carrying a sub-.600 OPS into play Monday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he begins to see his playing time slip. The Marlins are starting Matt Mervis at first base in Monday's series opener.
Connor Norby Connor Norby Grabbing seat Monday Mon, May 12, 2025, 3:56 PM Norby is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Cubs. Analysis: Norby started all three games of the Marlins' series against the White Sox this past weekend and reached base a total of five times. However, he'll get a breather for the series opener versus the Cubs, yielding to Graham Pauley at third base.
Derek Hill Derek Hill Makes return from IL Mon, May 12, 2025, 2:47 PM The Marlins reinstated Hill (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday. He'll start in center field and bat seventh in Miami's series opener versus the Cubs. Analysis: Hill had been on the shelf since April 18 after initially spraining his left wrist while making a diving catch in an April 8 game, but he's been cleared to rejoin the big club after completing a four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville last week. Though he initially looked as though he might be ticketed for a fourth-outfielder role upon his activation, Hill could step in as the Marlins' primary starter in center field after Dane Myers (oblique) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move. Kyle Stowers and Jesus Sanchez are also candidates to pick up starts in center when Hill is out of the lineup.
Dane Myers Dane Myers Shelved with oblique strain Mon, May 12, 2025, 2:42 PM The Marlins placed Myers on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right oblique strain. Analysis: The severity of Myers' oblique strain won't be known until the results of his MRI are available, but he'll be out for at least the next week and a half after suffering the injury at some point over the weekend. Before getting hurt, Myers had been thriving as the Marlins' primary center fielder with a .340/.386/.528 slash line to go with three home runs and six stolen bases since mid-April. The Marlins reinstated Derek Hill (wrist) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, and he could end up seeing the bulk of the reps in center while Myers is on the shelf.
Dane Myers Dane Myers Undergoing imaging Sun, May 11, 2025, 8:37 PM Myers (undisclosed) will undergo imaging Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Analysis: Myers was given Sunday off after starting eight games in a row, but he may be managing some sort of injury. It's unclear what the outfielder is dealing with, but whatever it is caused the Marlins to feel like they need a better look. If Myers is forced to miss any action moving forward, Kyle Stowers and Derek Hill (wrist) would stand to absorb his workload.
Derek Hill Derek Hill Finishes rehab assignment Sun, May 11, 2025, 7:47 PM Hill (wrist) is set to join the Marlins in Chicago ahead of their three-game series with the Cubs beginning Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. Analysis: Hill went 2-for-13 with two walks and two RBI while striking out seven times during his four-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 29-year-old opened the season batting .167 with one home run, three RBI, seven runs scored and three stolen bases over 42 at-bats in 11 games with the Marlins before suffering a left wrist sprain.
