Agustin Ramirez Agustin Ramirez Productive in Wednesday's win
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 8:27 AM
Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.
Analysis: Getting the start at DH and batting sixth, Ramirez lashed an RBI double in the third inning that chased Carmen Mlodzinski from the game, his first extra-base hit since returning to the majors early this month. Ramirez has made only three starts in eight games since his promotion, two at DH and one at catcher, but he's batting .357 (5-for-14) during that span. If he keeps producing when he gets the chance, the 24-year-old should see his playing time creep up. There could be more opportunities available in the 1B/DH mix as well with Kyle Stowers (hamstring) having landed on the IL on Tuesday. |

Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 11:26 PM
Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in the 8-2 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Analysis: Hernandez extended the lead to 8-2 in the sixth with a crushing long ball to left-center off of Lake Bachar. This is Hernandez's first homer in 10 games, despite now hitting 17 on the year. The power righty was on a 4-for-37 (.108 batting average) cold streak over that stretch. |

Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 11:19 PM
Conine went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, double and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 8-2 victory over the Pirates.
Analysis: Conine did not get out a single time Wednesday with three walks as well as a towering home run to center off of former Marlin Lake Bachar. The 29-year-old has homered three times in the last three games and continues his hot hitting since the All-Star break. Conine has a 1.025 OPS, eight homers, and 13 runs scored in 72 at-bats. |

Janson Junk Janson Junk Six strong innings in win
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 11:08 PM
Junk (6-7) earned the win Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out two over six innings.
Analysis: Junk pitched his longest start since before his shin injury that kept him out for all on June and some of July. Since Junk only pitched three innings last outing because of a rain delay, his arm was fresh and he threw 81 pitches with 56 of them for strikes. The righty has pitched way better at home this season with a 3.83 ERA versus a 5.35 one on the road. The 30-year-old is scheduled to throw in Philadelphia next week. |

Anthony Bender Anthony Bender On track to face hitters Friday
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 5:01 PM
The Marlins have tentatively scheduled Bender (shin) to face hitters Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: After completing a 15-pitch bullpen session Friday, Bender took the mound again Tuesday and threw 25 pitches, per MLB.com. Assuming he feels fine physically coming out of the latter side session, Bender will take the next step forward by throwing against live hitters. The right-hander has been on the shelf since June 30 due to a right shin stress reaction and will likely need to complete a rehab assignment prior to being activated. |

Max Meyer Max Meyer Expected back before end of 2026
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 4:58 PM
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Wednesday that Meyer (neck) received a cortisone shot to relieve discomfort in the rib area, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Miami placed Meyer on the 15-day injured list July 20 due to a neck strain, but is his rib has apparently also been bothering him and has delayed his ramp-up process. If the shot yields the desired effect and alleviates the pain, Meyer is expected to begin throwing soon thereafter and gear up for a return from the IL. Assuming the Marlins plan on having Meyer prepare for a starting role prior to being activated, he'll still likely need at least a few weeks to build back up, so a return before the end of August could be ambitious. |

William Kempner William Kempner Surgery on tap
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 4:53 PM
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Wednesday that Kempner will require surgery for his sprained right elbow, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The Marlins aren't expected to provide further details until the operation is performed, but Kempner will presumably require Tommy John or internal brace surgery (or a hybrid of the two), which will keep him out for the rest of the 2026 season and most, if not all, of the 2027 campaign. The 25-year-old righty was placed on the injured list July 12 and had initially taken the rest-and-rehab approach for his treatment plan, but he apparently wasn't progressing as well as the Marlins had hoped. He'll close the season with a 2.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB in 12.1 innings over nine appearances with the big club. |

Javier Sanoja Javier Sanoja Resting up Wednesday
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 4:43 PM
Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Analysis: Leo Jimenez will get the nod at third base in place of Sanoja, who extended his hit streak to seven games with a 1-for-3 effort in Tuesday's 2-0 win. Sanoja appears to be locked into a near-everyday role, as he started in each of the last three games and is batting .284/.312/.432 with nine extra-base hits (one home run, eight doubles), one stolen base, eight runs and eight RBI since the All-Star break. |

Pete Fairbanks Pete Fairbanks Collects 18th save
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 9:06 AM
Fairbanks struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 18th save of the season in a 2-0 win over the Pirates.
Analysis: The veteran closer converted his fifth straight save chance while extending his scoreless streak to seven appearances and seven innings -- a stretch in which he's allowed just one hit with a 10:2 K:BB. Despite his recent form, on the season Fairbanks is saddled with a 6.03 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 37.1 frames with 18 saves in 21 opportunities. |

Eury Perez Eury Perez Blanks Bucs for sixth win
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 9:02 AM
Perez (6-9) picked up the win Tuesday, scattering three hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings in a 2-0 victory over the Pirates. He struck out seven.
Analysis: Matched up against Paul Skenes, Perez rose to the occasion and fired 62 of 100 pitches for strikes while preventing Pittsburgh from even getting a runner into scoring position. The win was Perez's first since July 5, but he hasn't been pitching poorly -- during that five-start stretch, the 23-year-old delivered a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over 30 innings despite winding up with an 0-3 record. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in Cincinnati. |

Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Heading to injured list
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 1:41 PM
Miami placed Stowers on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain on Tuesday.
Analysis: Stowers exited Sunday's series finale early against the Angels with discomfort in his left hamstring, and the injury proved serious enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old will be sidelined for at least 10 days for the second time this season, after also missing the first three weeks-plus of the campaign due to a right hamstring strain. The left-handed-hitting Stowers has batted .242/.327/.462 with 16 home runs and 52 RBI in 399 plate appearances this season. Miami recalled Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. |

Graham Pauley Graham Pauley Back in majors
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 10:50 AM
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: There's no word yet on the corresponding roster move, but Pauley's promotion could signify Kyle Stowers (hamstring) is a candidate for the injured list. Pauley has slashed a dreadful .190/.229/.300 with one home run and a 5:25 BB:K over 41 games with the big club this season. |

Wikelman Gonzalez Wikelman Gonzalez Heads to new organization
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 2:44 PM
The Marlins claimed Gonzalez off waivers from the White Sox on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.
Analysis: The 24-year-old righty made 16 appearances out of the White Sox bullpen in 2025 but has pitched exclusively in the minors this season. Though Gonzalez had racked up 34 strikeouts over 24.2 innings at Triple-A Charlotte, an elevated 11.4 percent walk rate limited his effectiveness. He'll stick around at the Triple-A level with his new organization, and if he can show improved control, Gonzalez could get some opportunities in relief with the Marlins later on this season. |

Dazzles in Jacksonville debut
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 10:02 AM
Beck threw five no-hit, scoreless innings for Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, striking out five without walking a batter.
Analysis: The game was called after five innings due to rain, and the only thing that prevented Beck's outing from being perfect was an error by third baseman Gage Miller. Acquired from the Cubs in the Braxton Garrett trade, Beck isn't on the 40-man roster and is unlikely to be a rotation option for the Marlins this season, but the 26-year-old right-hander could be knocking on the door of a 2027 big-league debut. After dominating Double-A (102:30 K:BB in 59.2 innings) to begin the year, Beck has a 4.95 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through his first 20 innings at Triple-A between the Cubs and Marlins' systems. |

Lighting up Southern League
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 9:50 AM
Compton has produced a .348/.432/.791 slash line with 15 home runs in 32 games for Double-A Pensacola.
Analysis: Promoted from High-A Beloit in late June, Compton has been destroying Southern League pitching ever since, and per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com his 12 homers in July set a new franchise record for Pensacola in addition to earning him Hitter of the Month honors in the Marlins' system. The 46th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Compton has split his time between the outfield corners and DH this season as he tries to find a defensive home, but it's his bat that will carry him to the majors -- during that blistering July, he ranked in the 100th percentile in hard-hit rate at Double-A with a 64.4 percent mark. |

Ryan Gusto Ryan Gusto Goes four innings in no-decision
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 8:21 PM
Gusto did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with four strikeouts over four innings.
Analysis: Gusto threw 44 of 60 pitches for strikes, settling in with two scoreless innings after allowing runs in each of his first two frames. It was a short outing considering the 27-year-old logged 11 innings over his previous two turns, including an 83-pitch quality start Tuesday. He owns a 4.78 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 43:14 K across 49 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Reds next weekend. |

Sanoja went 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels.
Analysis: Sanoja delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning before driving in two more in the fifth. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in seven of eight August contests, going 10-for-27 with five extra-base hits and seven RBI during that stretch. On the year, he's slashing .274/.312/.411 with four homers, 42 RBI, 29 runs scored and six stolen bases across 318 plate appearances. |

Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 8:08 PM
Conine went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Angels.
Analysis: Conine notched his first career multi-homer effort, going deep in the fifth and eighth innings. The 29-year-old has found his power stroke in the second half, tallying seven home runs in 22 games since the All-Star break. For the season, he's slashing .265/.349/.544 with 12 long balls, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and two steals across just 166 plate appearances. |
