Liam Hicks Liam Hicks Carries offense in Friday's win
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 8:16 AM
Hicks went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Pirates.
Analysis: The breakout slugger took Antwone Kelly deep in the eighth inning to put a cap on another productive night. Hicks is up to 50 RBI on the season, tied for sixth in the majors, and through 67 contests he's slashing .274/.355/.489 with 13 homers and 38 runs while splitting his time almost equally between catcher, first base and DH. |

Sandy Alcantara Sandy Alcantara Sharp in sixth win
Sat, Jun 13, 2026, 8:11 AM
Alcantara (6-4) picked up the win Friday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over eight innings in an 8-3 victory over the Pirates. He struck out seven.
Analysis: The right-hander reached 1,000 career strikeouts along the way, as Alcantara delivered his third straight quality start and 10th of the season on 102 pitches (70 strikes). Through his first three outings in June, he's produced a 2.86 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB over 22 innings, showing glimpses of his 2022 Cy Young form. Alcantara will look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Philadelphia. |

Lake Bachar Lake Bachar Opening again Saturday
Fri, Jun 12, 2026, 8:43 PM
Bachar will serve as the opening pitcher in Saturday's game against the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: The Marlins will be relying on their bullpen to get through Saturday's contest, and it will be Bachar taking the mound to begin the game. The 31-year-old fared well during his latest opening assignment last Saturday, striking out three batters across three perfect innings. |

Zach Pop Zach Pop Lands with Marlins
Fri, Jun 12, 2026, 4:51 PM
Pop signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Pop elected free agency last weekend after being DFA'd by the Phillies, and he'll now attempt to carve out a role for himself in the Marlins organization. The 29-year-old righty gave up three earned runs in 7.1 innings during his time with Philadelphia, but he's given up eight runs in eight frames at Triple-A. If he turns things around at Jacksonville, he could be welcomed into Miami's bullpen at some point. |

Otto Lopez Otto Lopez Swipes two bags Thursday
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 6:39 PM
Lopez went 2-for-4 with a run and two stolen bases against Arizona in a 2-0 win Thursday.
Analysis: Lopez was the only batter on either team to record multiple hits in the low-scoring affair. He manufactured a run in the first inning by knocking a single, reaching second base on a disengagement violation, stealing third and then coming home on a sacrifice fly. The speedy infielder added another theft later in the game for his third multi-steal performance of the campaign. Lopez is in the midst of the best season of his career, as he leads qualified MLB hitters with a .344 batting average while adding five homers, 18 doubles (tied for fifth-most), three triples, 30 RBI, 42 runs and 13 steals through 68 games. |

Pete Fairbanks Pete Fairbanks Impressive in eighth save
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 6:21 PM
Fairbanks earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.
Analysis: Fairbanks was called upon to protect a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning and made quick work of Arizona, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches. It was one of the better outings in what has been an inconsistent campaign for the veteran reliever, and Thursday marked just the third time over his past 12 appearances that he didn't allow a hit or a walk. Fairbanks continues to serve as Miami's primary closer despite holding a 6.63 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 19 innings spanning 21 outings on the season. He's converted eight of 10 save chances and has a 27:11 K:BB. |

Tyler Phillips Tyler Phillips Defangs D-backs for first victory
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 6:13 PM
Phillips (1-1) earned the win over Arizona on Thursday, allowing two hits and issuing two walks while striking out five batters over five-plus scoreless innings.
Analysis: Phillips served as a bulk reliever in his previous outing June 5, but he was deployed as a starter Thursday. The right-hander excelled in that role, limiting the Diamondbacks to just one hit through five frames. Phillips went back out for the sixth and yielded a single before being lifted at 70 pitches. Having worked out of the bullpen for most of the campaign, Phillips isn't yet up to a full starter's workload, topping out at 82 pitches in that June 5 piggyback appearance. He should be able to push his pitch count up as he settles into the rotation, and he may be worth a look for fantasy managers in need of pitching given his 2.95 ERA across 18.1 innings since moving into the rotation. His 14:8 K:BB over that span is less appealing, though. |

William Kempner William Kempner Nabs first big-league win
Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 8:49 AM
Kempner (1-0) picked up the win Wednesday, walking two and striking out three over two scoreless, no-hit innings of relief in a victory over the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: The rookie right-hander took the mound in the seventh inning, the third of four Miami pitchers in a combined shutout, and he wound up being credited with the win. Kempner has yet to allow a run in his first five big-league appearances, posting a 0.75 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings, but he doesn't yet appear to be part of the high-leverage picture for manager Clayton McCullough -- he entered Wednesday's contest with the Marlins already up 8-0. |

Otto Lopez Otto Lopez Two RBI on 2 hits in win
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 10:49 PM
Lopez went 2-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored during the Marlins' 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Lopez continued his great season today with his fourth consecutive multi-hit game, which is his longest streak of the season so far. The short stop increased his league-leading batting average to .342 and hit total to 91. |

Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Three-run homer in winning effort
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 10:40 PM
Stowers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-0 win over Arizon.
Analysis: Stowers went yard in the fourth inning with a long three-run home run to right field off of Ryne Nelson. The homer extended the lead to seven for the Marlins, and effectively put the game away. The 28-year-old has seen most of his stats decline from his All-Star campaign last year, as he has just a .677 OPS with 54 strikeouts in 164 at-bats. |

Owen Caissie Owen Caissie Picks up three RBI in win
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 10:27 PM
Caissie went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Caissie hit a two-run homer on a line drive over the right field wall in the fourth innings against Ryne Nelson. This home run broke a six-game hitless streak for Caissie where he went 0-14 with eight strikeouts. This lowered Caissie's batting average to .215 and a .281 OBP coming into this game. |

Ryan Gusto Ryan Gusto No decision in win
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 10:00 PM
Gusto pitched four innings in his start, allowing no runs three hits and one walk while striking out four in the win against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Analysis: After working as a more traditional starter at Triple-A prior to his call-up last Tuesday, this was Gusto's longest outing in the majors so far. Gusto suffered his first loss last start, serving as an opener for two innings, he pitched very well in this start as he threw 45 of his 66 pitches for strikes. The rest of the Marlins pitching staff was able to complete the shut out versus Arizona. |

Connor Norby Connor Norby Absent from lineup
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 2:10 PM
Norby is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Norby reached base in all three of his plate appearances during Tuesday's game, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Christopher Morel will handle first base and bat seventh for the Marlins. |
|
Leo Jimenez Leo Jimenez Not in Wednesday's lineup
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 2:04 PM
Jimenez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Jimenez started the first game of the series at third base, but he'll begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Javier Sanoja will man the hot corner for the Marlins. |
|
Joe Mack Joe Mack Exiting starting lineup
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 1:55 PM
Mack is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Mack had made seven straight starts at catcher, so he's earned a day off. Liam Hicks will be behind the dish for the Marlins, Kyle Stowers is in the designated hitter slot and Heriberto Hernandez will cover left field. |
|
Tyler Phillips Tyler Phillips Working as starter Thursday
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 11:43 AM
Phillips is slated to start Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks in Miami.
Analysis: After piggybacking Ryan Gusto for 4.2 innings in relief in his most recent appearance last Friday versus the Rays, Phillips will move back into a starting role for his upcoming turn through the rotation. The right-hander has covered at least three frames in each of his last four appearances (two starts), going 0-1 with a 3.31 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings during that span. |

Joe Mack Joe Mack Scores three times in four-hit game
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 10:20 AM
Mack went 4-for-4 with three runs Tuesday in the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: With a .203 batting average, the rookie catcher was barely sitting above the Mendoza Line for the season at the end of May, but his bat has begun to heat up in June. Through seven games on the month, Mack has gone 9-for-23 with a home run and a double, lifting his season average up by 50 points in the process. Mack is still expected to provide most of his value to the Marlins through his defense behind the plate, but he offers a bit of pop and should play frequently enough to make for a viable lineup option in fantasy leagues that start two catchers. |

Xavier Edwards Xavier Edwards Drives in two runs Tuesday
Tue, Jun 9, 2026, 10:38 PM
Edwards went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Edwards got the Marlins on a board with an RBI single in the first inning before adding another run in the third on a sacrifice fly. It was his third multi-RBI game of the season and the first RBI he's logged since May 29 against the Mets. Edwards is slashing .306/.391/.456 with 11 steals, six home runs and 22 RBI over 285 plate appearances this season. |
