Xavier Edwards Xavier Edwards Tossed Friday Fri, Jun 6, 2025, 1:06 PM Edwards was ejected from Friday's game against the Rays after arguing a runner interference call in the third inning, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports. Analysis: Edwards collided with Jonathan Aranda at first base trying to beat out a bunt and was thrown out of the game for his reaction to being called for interference. Edwards finishes the game 0-for-2. Javier Sanoja will take over for Edwards at second base.
Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Battling hand soreness Fri, Jun 6, 2025, 11:38 AM Stowers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays due to lingering hand soreness, Nate Karzmer of FishOnFirst reports. Analysis: Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Friday that Stowers will be available to pinch-hit, but he's currently dealing with hand soreness. Stowers is out of the lineup for a second straight game Friday, but the hand issue appears to be a short-term problem.
Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Out of lineup again Friday Fri, Jun 6, 2025, 10:46 AM Stowers is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays. Analysis: The left-handed-hitting Stowers didn't start Wednesday's game versus the Rockies against a lefty but did appear as a pinch hitter. He's out of the lineup again Friday after the Marlins' team off day Thursday even with righty Zack Littell on the bump for the Rays, so it's possible he's dealing with an injury. Eric Wagaman is in left field for Miami on Friday.
Anthony Veneziano Anthony Veneziano Promoted Friday Fri, Jun 6, 2025, 10:05 AM The Marlins recalled Veneziano from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. Analysis: The left-hander was demoted to Jacksonville in mid-May after posting a 4.86 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB in his first 20 outings of the season. Veneziano will rejoin the Marlins on Friday with Jesus Tinoco (forearm) landing on the injured list.
Jesus Tinoco Jesus Tinoco Goes on IL with forearm strain Fri, Jun 6, 2025, 9:48 AM The Marlins placed Tinoco on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right forearm strain. Analysis: Tinoco didn't strike out a single batted over his last five appearances and had been deployed in low-leverage situations lately, so it's possible he's been hurt for a while. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, an MRI on Tinoco's forearm didn't reveal any structural damage, but it's not clear how long he might be shelved.
Connor Norby Connor Norby Nabs fifth steal Thu, Jun 5, 2025, 9:59 AM Norby went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies. Analysis: It was the 24-year-old infielder's fifth steal of the season but first since May 10, as he was caught stealing on his only two attempts during that time. Norby's 88th percentile sprint speed suggests he could remain a steady contributor in stolen bases if he keeps getting opportunities, but reaching base has been an issue for him -- since the beginning of May he's slashing .248/.282/.381 with two homers, 10 runs and 13 RBI in 29 contests.
Heriberto Hernandez Heriberto Hernandez Produces first big-league hits Thu, Jun 5, 2025, 9:55 AM Hernandez went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies. Analysis: After going 0-for-5 in his first three games for the Marlins, the 25-year-old rookie collected his first big-league hits and first RBI, with his seventh-inning single getting Miami on the board in a 3-2 loss. Hernandez has filled a short-side platoon role in the outfield since his late-May promotion, but he'll likely get bumped from the roster once Derek Hill (wrist) is healthy.
Cal Quantrill Cal Quantrill Stuck with tough loss Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 7:37 PM Quantrill (3-6) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins fell 3-2 to the Rockies, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two. Analysis: The right-hander allowed three runs or fewer for the sixth straight outing, a stretch in which Quantrill has delivered a 3.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB over 27.2 innings, but he has just one win to show for it due to a combination of poor run support and the fact that he hasn't worked more than five innings in any of those starts. Quantrill's rotation spot looked like it might be in jeopardy with Eury Perez (elbow) poised to make his 2025 debut Monday, but a hip injury for Max Meyer bought him a reprieve. Quantrill will look to stay stingy in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week in Pittsburgh.
Xavier Edwards Xavier Edwards Resting up Wednesday Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 8:54 AM Edwards is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Analysis: The Marlins are wrapping up their series against Colorado with a day game after a night game, so Edwards is likely just getting a breather after he recently made his return from the injured list. Since being activated Saturday after he was on the shelf for just under two weeks due to a mid-back strain, Edwards has gone 7-for-13 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI in four games.
Liam Hicks Liam Hicks Idle against lefty Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 8:50 AM Hicks is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Analysis: The left-handed-hitting Hicks will take a seat with southpaw Kyle Freeland on the bump for Colorado, but the rookie Rule 5 draft pick should have a clearer path to playing time versus righties after the Marlins recently dropped Matt Mervis from the 40-man roster. Hicks -- who started in three of the Marlins' previous four matchups with right-handers -- is slashing .276/.351/.469 with four home runs and 22 RBI across 113 plate appearances on the season.
Jesus Sanchez Jesus Sanchez Resting up Wednesday Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 8:46 AM Sanchez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Analysis: With southpaw Kyle Freeland starting for the Rockies, the Marlins will send Sanchez and Kyle Stowers to the bench to make room for a couple of extra right-handed bats in Javier Sanoja and Heriberto Hernandez. Sanchez started in the first two games of the series and went 5-for-8 with two doubles, two RBI, two runs, one walk and one stolen base.
Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Getting rest Wednesday Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 8:42 AM Stowers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Analysis: The lefty-hitting Stowers will get the afternoon off while the Rockies send southpaw Kyle Freeland to the bump in the series finale. Javier Sanoja will pick up the start in center field in place of Stowers.
Sandy Alcantara Sandy Alcantara Tosses quality start Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 8:13 AM Alcantara did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to Colorado. He allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings. Analysis: While he couldn't beat the worst team in MLB, Alcantara still snapped an ugly run that lasted over a month. He worked through four shutout frames before the Rockies plated a pair of runs in the fifth inning. Alcantara delivered his first quality start since April 23. He gave up at least four runs in each of his six outings between those two starts, resulting in a brutal 10.08 ERA over 27.2 frames. After three straight outings with at least 100 pitches thrown, he's thrown 71 and 70 pitches in his last two appearances. Still searching for his first win since April 12, Alcantara is expected to make his next start in Pittsburgh.
Eury Perez Eury Perez Making season debut Monday Tue, Jun 3, 2025, 5:52 PM Perez (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Monday to start against the Pirates, Kevin Barral of FishOnFirst.com reports. Analysis: Perez has turned in a 1.96 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 18.1 innings between Single-A Jupiter and Triple-A Jacksonville during his rehab assignment. His eighth and final minor-league outing is set to come Tuesday, and the Marlins will keep him on a five-day rest schedule leading up to his first MLB start of the year. The 22-year-old hasn't stood on a big-league mound since the 2023 campaign, during which he posted a 3.15 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 91.1 frames (19 starts).
Connor Norby Connor Norby Out of Marlins' lineup Tue, Jun 3, 2025, 2:48 PM Norby is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rockies. Analysis: Norby is in a 1-for-23 tailspin at the dish, so he'll get a day to regroup. Javier Sanoja will cover third base and bat ninth for the Marlins on Tuesday.
George Soriano George Soriano Returns to majors Tue, Jun 3, 2025, 2:33 PM The Marlins recalled Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. Analysis: The right-hander spent most of May in the minors but will rejoin the Marlins on Tuesday with Max Meyer (hip) heading to the injured list. Soriano has an 8.35 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 19:11 K:BB across 18.1 major-league innings this year and should fill a low-leverage relief role.
Max Meyer Max Meyer Lands on injured list Tue, Jun 3, 2025, 2:19 PM The Marlins placed Meyer on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hip impingement, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. Analysis: Meyer surrendered four earned runs in each of his past two starts -- including a matchup versus the Rockies on Monday -- and will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks due to a hip issue. It's unclear how long the left-hander is expected to be sidelined, though he'll be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list June 18.
Liam Hicks Liam Hicks Getting work at first base Tue, Jun 3, 2025, 8:31 AM Hicks made his season debut at first base Sunday, and Marlins manager Clayton McCullough hinted that he's likely to see more action at the position, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ""It was good that he got his feet wet, and his comfort level will continue [to increase] if he gets more opportunities over there," McCullough said after the contest. Analysis: Hicks has experience at first base in the minors, playing 61 games at the position last year at Double-A, and with Matt Mervis removed from the 26-man roster, Miami has a lot of available at-bats there. Hicks' bat is what's forcing the team to find ways to get him into the lineup -- including a 2-for-4 performance as the DH on Monday against the Rockies, he's slashing .316/.381/.658 over 42 plate appearances since the beginning of May with six of his 12 hits going for extra bases (two doubles, a triple and three homers). Agustin Ramirez and Nick Fortes may wind up seeing the bulk of the playing time behind the plate, but Hicks should still get plenty of work against right-handed pitching between catcher, first base and designated hitter.
Jesus Sanchez Jesus Sanchez Produces three-hit game Mon, Jun 2, 2025, 10:56 PM Sanchez went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, a RBI and a run scored during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies. Analysis: Sanchez wasted little time extending his hit streak to eight games, hitting a ground-rule double in the first inning, then added two more hits on top of it for good measure. The 27-year-old is 13-for-29 during his eight-game heater with three doubles, two home runs and four RBI. He is now slashing .268/.360/.401 for the season.
Max Meyer Max Meyer Knocked around in defeat Mon, Jun 2, 2025, 10:32 PM Meyer (3-5) took the loss after allowing five runs, four of them earned, on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five through five innings of work during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies. Analysis: Meyer discovered a new worst enemy during Monday's start, surrendering two home runs to Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, as part of a tough outing. The right-hander has struggled to keep the ball in the yard lately as he's surrendered nine home runs over his last seven starts. The 26-year-old has allowed at least five runs in five of those seven appearances. Meyer's next scheduled start is a Sunday matinee road battle at the Rays.
