Rob Brantly
Rob Brantly Activated, DFA'd by Marlins
Mon, Jul 14, 2025, 8:27 PM
Brantly (lat/knee) was activated from the 60-day injured list and then designated for assignment Monday.
Analysis: Brantly was placed on the 15-day injured list April 21 due to a right lat strain, and he was later transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. He'll head to waivers following Monday's transaction and would presumably report to Triple-A Jacksonville if he doesn't receive any interest.
Matt Mervis
Matt Mervis Returns from MiLB IL
Mon, Jul 14, 2025, 6:50 PM
Mervis (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Analysis: Mervis missed just over three weeks while recovering from an oblique strain. He's been solid in five games since his return, going 5-for-16 with two home runs, three RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored.
Jesus Tinoco
Jesus Tinoco Close to mound work
Mon, Jul 14, 2025, 2:48 PM
The Marlins announced July 7 that Tinoco (forearm) is continuing to make progress with his throwing program and could soon be cleared to throw bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Tinoco was able to resume playing catch just over a week after he was placed on the injured list June 6 due to a right forearm strain, but the Marlins have been bringing the right-hander along slowly in his recovery. As a one- or two-inning reliever, Tinoco won't require an extended rehab assignment, but since he has yet to get back on a mound, he shouldn't be expected to return from the IL until late July at the soonest.
Valente Bellozo
Valente Bellozo Thriving in long relief
Mon, Jul 14, 2025, 10:41 AM
Bellozo carries a 3.55 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB through 50.2 innings over 17 appearances (five starts) going into the All-Star break.
Analysis: The 25-year-old righty doesn't offer much strikeout upside, limiting his fantasy appeal, but he's been a rock for the Marlins in long relief over the last month. Bellozo hasn't allowed more than one run in an outing since June 13, and over his last 15 innings and seven appearances he sports a 1.80 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. If Miami trades away starting pitching before the deadline, Bellozo could get another crack at holding down a rotation spot.
Agustin Ramirez
Agustin Ramirez Crosses plate three times Sunday
Mon, Jul 14, 2025, 10:27 AM
Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's rout of the Orioles.
Analysis: The rookie catcher wraps up an impressive first half by scoring multiple runs for the third time in the last seven games, a stretch in which he's batting .250 (7-for-28) with five doubles and a homer. Ramirez had provided some big-time power to the Marlins' lineup since his promotion in late April, and through his first 71 big-league contests he boasts a .242/.289/.470 slash line with 35 extra-base hits, including 14 home runs.
Edward Cabrera
Edward Cabrera Not expected to miss start
Mon, Jul 14, 2025, 10:18 AM
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough is optimistic that Cabrera (elbow) will be part of the team's rotation coming out of the All-Star break, Mike Cugno of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: The right-hander was pulled from his most recent start Friday after four innings and 76 pitches due to elbow discomfort, but an MRI didn't reveal any structural damage. Cabrera heads into the break with a 3.61 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 86:30 K:BB through 82.1 innings.
Connor Norby
Connor Norby Will see specialist over break
Mon, Jul 14, 2025, 10:14 AM
Norby (wrist) will see a specialist in Arizona over the All-Star break, Mike Cugno of CBS Miami reports.
Analysis: The third baseman hasn't played since Friday due to what the Marlins have described as left wrist inflammation and was placed on the 10-day IL on Sunday, but it seems as though there's at least some concern the issue could be more serious. A timeline for Norby's return figures to come into focus once the joint has been examined.
Liam Hicks
Liam Hicks Collects trio of hits
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 8:57 PM
Hicks went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Sunday's 11-1 win against the Orioles.
Analysis: The 26-year-old rookie started at first base and notched his second game with three or more hits this season -- the first coming at Philadelphia on April 19. Hicks, who was a Rule 5 pick this past offseason, continues to garner plenty of looks in a strong-side platoon role with the Marlins. He has been a steady source of offense for the club thanks to a .274/.367/.411 slash line with four homers, 30 RBI and 19 runs scored across 198 total plate appearances in 64 games.
Kyle Stowers
Kyle Stowers Slugs three homers against O's
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 8:49 PM
Stowers went 5-for-5 with three homers, six RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-1 victory over Baltimore.
Analysis: The Miami outfielder had a career day against his former club, launching three long balls off Orioles starter Brandon Young. This marks the fourth multi-homer and first five-hit performance of Stowers' career. After this incredible effort, the 27-year-old is now slashing .293/.368/.543 with 19 homers, 54 RBI and 46 runs scored across 346 plate appearance, as he heads to Atlanta to be the Marlins' All-Star representative Tuesday night.
Eury Perez
Eury Perez Cruises to third win
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 8:41 PM
Perez (3-2) earned the win in Sunday's contest at Baltimore, yielding three hits and no walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Analysis: The Miami right-hander notched his third consecutive victory, as he dominated the Orioles with 16 whiffs out of his 84 total pitches. The Baltimore lineup never threatened to score a run off Perez, who managed to contain his opponents to just four baserunners -- a double, two singles and a hit-by-pitch. After a shaky 6.19 ERA across his first four starts, Perez has been masterful in his last three appearances with a 0.53 ERA, 0.41 WHIP and 21:1 K:BB across 17 innings.
Edward Cabrera
Edward Cabrera Could avoid injured list
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 3:08 PM
Cabrera received encouraging MRI results on his right elbow Sunday and may not require a trip to the injured list, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
Analysis: The right-hander exited his most recent start in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Orioles due to posterior right elbow discomfort, but follow-up testing doesn't appear to have revealed a significant injury. The All-Star break will provide Cabrera with some extra rest, though it's not yet clear if he'll be ready to take the mound when his turn in the rotation first comes up in the second half.
Eric Wagaman
Eric Wagaman Resting Sunday
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 10:24 AM
Wagaman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Analysis: Wagaman will hit the bench after he had started at first base each of the previous four games while going 1-for-13 with two walks. Liam Hicks will cover first base in Wagaman's stead.
Graham Pauley
Graham Pauley Moves up to majors
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 10:20 AM
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. He'll start at third base and bat eighth in the Marlins' series finale versus the Orioles.
Analysis: The 24-year-old will fill in for Connor Norby (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. While Norby is on the shelf, Pauley could end up seeing the bulk of the stars at the hot corner, though the Marlins may shield him from left-handed pitching. Pauley posted a poor .545 OPS In 89 plate appearances with Miami earlier this season but had been sporting a hot bat at Triple-A prior to his latest call-up, slashing .395/.452/.789 with four home runs over his last 10 games for Jacksonville.
Connor Norby
Connor Norby Shelved with wrist inflammation
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 10:09 AM
The Marlins placed Norby on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to left wrist inflammation.
Analysis: Norby was held out of Saturday's lineup due to the injury and now won't be eligible for activation until July 22. In a corresponding move, the Marlins recalled infielder Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville, and he could see the bulk of the starts at third base while Norby is out. The Marlins could also use Javier Sanoja on the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Pauley.
Derek Hill
Derek Hill Pair of RBI in win
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 2:54 AM
Hill went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 6-0 victory over the Orioles.
Analysis: Hill recorded his fourth multi-hit game of the season Saturday, helping the Marlins build a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The performance was well-timed, as the outfielder had gone 0-for-12 since returning from the injured list July 1. Through 30 games this season, he's slashing .213/.278/.326 with six extra-base hits, six stolen bases and seven RBI.
Xavier Edwards
Xavier Edwards Slugs first homer of 2025
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 2:48 AM
Edwards went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Orioles.
Analysis: Edwards connected on his first home run of the 2025 season with a two-run blast off Scott Blewett in the ninth inning. The switch-hitter tallied two extra-base hits Saturday, lifting his season numbers to .289/.354/.346 with 15 extra-base hits, 16 stolen bases, 24 RBI and a clean .700 OPS across 78 games.
Janson Junk
Janson Junk Tosses seven scoreless frames
Sun, Jul 13, 2025, 2:35 AM
Junk (4-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing five hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Orioles. He struck out two.
Analysis: Junk wasn't dominant against the Orioles, tallying just two strikeouts, but he effectively managed contact to deliver seven scoreless innings and earn his fourth win of the season. The right-hander now owns a 2.68 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 50.1 innings in 10 appearances (five starts). While his limited track record at the major-league level warrants some caution, Junk appears to be finding his stride in MLB at age 29.
Connor Norby
Connor Norby Sitting with sore hand
Sat, Jul 12, 2025, 3:11 PM
Norby isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore due to left hand soreness, Nate Karzmer of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Analysis: Norby has collected a base hit in each of his last five games, but he'll take a day off Saturday to recover from a hand injury that popped up during his final plate appearance Friday. Javier Sanoja will get the nod to start at third base instead while batting ninth.
Otto Lopez
Otto Lopez Reaches double-digit homers
Sat, Jul 12, 2025, 8:31 AM
Lopez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Orioles.
Analysis: The 26-year-old infielder accounted for all of Miami's offense on the night by taking Andrew Kittredge deep in the ninth inning. Lopez is up to double digits in both homers (10) and steals (10) on the year, and since the beginning of June he's slashing a respectable .270/.333/.418 over 36 games with 21 runs and 28 RBI.
Edward Cabrera
Edward Cabrera Leaves with elbow injury
Fri, Jul 11, 2025, 8:39 PM
Cabrera was removed from Friday's game against the Orioles with posterior elbow discomfort, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: Cabrera's elbow limited him to just four innings Friday, during which he gave up four earned runs on eight hits while striking out six batters. He will presumably undergo tests to determine the nature/severity of his injury, at which point the Marlins may relay an update on his status.
