Ryan Gusto Ryan Gusto Fans four in short start
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 9:45 PM
Gusto took a no-decision against the Nationals on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
Analysis: Gusto threw four shutout innings before running into trouble in the fifth, when he was chased from the outing after recording one out in the frame. The Marlins have continually shown a lack of willingness to let the right-hander work deep into starts, as Gusto has pitched into the sixth inning just twice in 14 starts. He's slated to wrap up a two-start week over the weekend against the Cubs, holding a 3.86 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB over 67.2 innings. |

The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 5.87 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB over 38.1 innings for the Marlins this season. |

Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 2:39 PM
The Marlins placed Edwards on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left thumb sprain.
Analysis: Edwards had started or made a cameo off the bench in each of the Marlins' first 137 games, but he'll end up missing action for the first time all season after injuring his thumb when he attempted to apply a tag in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Nationals. The Marlins recalled infielder Jared Serna from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and could end up leaning on a committee of Serna, Javier Sanoja and Leo Jimenez at second base while Edwards is on the shelf. |

Janson Junk Janson Junk Throws 65 pitches Sunday
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 3:03 PM
Junk did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing a run on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: Junk returned to Miami's rotation Sunday after he was unexpectedly deployed in relief Wednesday. The right-hander was sharp, blanking Washington through four innings before allowing a lone two-out run in the fifth. Junk would then depart the game after throwing just 65 pitches. It appears that Junk could be on a pitch limit down the stretch -- he's now thrown 103 innings this season after delivering a career-high 110 last year. Overall, Junk's ERA sits at 4.11 with a 1.30 WHIP and 70:28 K:BB. He tentatively lines up to face the Cubs at home his next time out. |

Analysis: After having his left wrist/hand area tangled up while trying to tag Vivas at second base, Edwards was removed from the game. Edwards has played every game this season for the Marlins and is in jeopardy of missing his first game as Miami wraps up its series with the Nationals on Monday. Griffin Conine replaced Edwards in the bottom of the fifth while Javier Sanoja moved over to second base. |

Joe Mack Joe Mack Riding pine Sunday
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 9:09 AM

Analysis: Mack has struggled to get it going from the plate in his last 15 games, slashing just .200/.265/.289 over 49 plate appearances. The 23-year-old will take a breather for the third game of a four-game set against Washington, with Brian Navarreto handling the catching duties and batting ninth for Miami. |

Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 9:05 AM

Janson Junk Janson Junk Returning to starting role Sunday
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 8:23 AM
Junk is slated to start Sunday's road game against the Nationals.
Analysis: After getting the start in his first 19 appearances of the season, Junk was surprisingly used in relief during Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox, notching a hold while needing just eight pitches to deliver a perfect inning. Though he'll technically be returning to the hill Sunday on three days' rest, Junk shouldn't face any restrictions with his workload, given the brevity of that relief appearance. |

Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 8:34 PM

Analysis: Saturday marked the second time in three games that Alcantara allowed at least eight hits in a start, with two of those games coming in his last three outings. All the runs he gave up came in the third inning, and the four earned runs he allowed were his most in a start since July 22 against the Astros (five). Alcantara will take a 3.46 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 140:50 K:BB over 189.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week on the road against the Royals. |

Xavier Edwards Xavier Edwards Pilfers bag No. 20
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 10:37 AM
Edwards went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Nationals.
Analysis: The speedy infielder drove in the game's first run with a second-inning single before promptly swiping second base, but things fell apart for the Marlins from there in an eventual 9-2 loss. Edwards is up to 20 stolen bases, the third straight season in which he's reached that mark, and he's hit safely in 12 of his last 13 games, slashing .314/.375/.333 over that stretch with four runs and five RBI. |

Heriberto Hernandez Heriberto Hernandez Stays hot in Friday's loss
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 10:33 AM
Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Nationals.
Analysis: An eighth-inning shot off Max Kranick didn't make much difference in a 9-2 loss, but it did extend Hernandez's hitting streak to six games. During that stretch, he's gone 8-for-22 (.364) with a double and three homers. Hernandez will run hot and cold, but the good times have been outweighing the bad of late -- since the beginning of July, he's delivered a .251/.333/.538 slash line over 47 contests with 13 of his 21 long balls on the season, 20 of his 38 runs and 27 of his 56 RBI despite a 29.7 percent strikeout rate. |
