Pete Fairbanks Pete Fairbanks Earns 19th save
Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 9:03 PM
Fairbanks earned the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and one walk without recording a strikeout in the ninth inning.
Analysis: Fairbanks was called on for his first save opportunity since returning from the injured list Wednesday and closed the door despite allowing a run. The 32-year-old's fastball velocity was down nearly three mph from his season average, so he is possibly still experiencing some rust from his hand injury. He's now 19-for-23 in save chances this year but owns an ugly 6.10 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB across 41.1 innings this season. |

Tyler Phillips Tyler Phillips Allows two homers in short outing
Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 8:49 PM
Phillips did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 innings.
Analysis: Phillips allowed back-to-back homers in the first inning but did keep the Dodgers in check from there despite throwing just 37 of 68 pitches for strikes. It marked the first time the 28-year-old failed to complete at least four frames in a game he started since July 12, and he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. He owns a 3.55 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 96:51 K:BB across 119 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Padres next weekend. |

Owen Caissie Owen Caissie Exits with hamstring tightness
Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 5:04 PM
Caissie was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers due to right hamstring tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old walked and scored in the bottom of the second inning, but Esteury Ruiz then hit for Caissie the following frame. He dealt with a right calf injury earlier in the season, though the injuries seem unlikely to be related. Caissie is slashing .220/.288/.412 with 14 home runs, 58 RBI, 45 runs scored and a 27:123 BB:K across 330 plate appearances in his first season with the Marlins. |

Analysis: It's Arquette's third trip to the injured list this season after previously dealing with a thumb injury and core-muscle surgery earlier in the campaign. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 Draft, Arquette has slashed .272/.326/.459 with 12 homers, 48 RBI, 44 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and an 18:62 BB:K across 291 plate appearances between High-A and Double-A this season. |

It marked just the second time in seven outings since then that the 27-year-old pitched beyond the fifth inning.

Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 9:40 PM
Sanoja went 2-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Analysis: Sanoja scored both of the Marlins' runs, extending his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the sixth inning. During that stretch, the 24-year-old is hitting .422 with two home runs, six RBI, 10 runs scored and a stolen base.

Graham Pauley Graham Pauley Bangs out three hits Wednesday
Thu, Sep 10, 2026, 10:53 AM
Pauley went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.
Analysis: Seven different Marlins hitters recorded multiple hits en route to a 20-hit, 14-run eruption from the offense, and it wasn't enough as the pitching staff coughed up 15 runs. Pauley has taken over the strong side of a platoon in September, batting .286 (6-for-21) over his last seven games with a triple, two homers, five runs and nine RBI. If he keeps producing at the plate, he could hang onto the job even when Xavier Edwards (thumb) is cleared to return and Javier Sanoja isn't needed at second base. |

Griffin Conine Griffin Conine Three hits in Wednesday's wild loss
Thu, Sep 10, 2026, 10:50 AM
Conine went 3-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.
Analysis: Seven different Marlins hitters recorded multiple hits en route to a 20-hit, 14-run eruption from the offense, and it wasn't enough as the pitching staff coughed up 15 runs. Conine has cooled down significantly since his August power surge, and over his last 19 games he's sagged to a .194/.324/.258 slash line with one home run, six RBI and a 28.4 percent strikeout rate. |

Anthony Bender Anthony Bender Shut down for season
Thu, Sep 10, 2026, 10:44 AM
Bender (lower leg) has ceased baseball activities and will get another opinion on the lingering soreness in his shin, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: That likely ends any chance the right-hander might have had of pitching again in 2026. Bender last took the mound for the Marlins in late June but was putting together another strong campaign before being shut down due to a stress reaction in his right shin, recording one win, two saves and nine holds in 35 appearances with a 2.62 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB over 34.1 innings. |

Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 9:57 PM

Analysis: Mack helped get the Marlins' offense going in the fourth inning with a two-run single before adding a solo homer in the seventh to reduce Miami's deficit to 14-9. That long ball was Mack's first since since Aug. 15 and 13th of the season, which is sixth-most among National League catchers. He has a .701 OPS with 46 RBI and 22 extra-base hits across 297 plate appearances this season. |

Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 9:48 PM
Marsee went 4-for-6 with three RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 15-14 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Wednesday's contest was a high-scoring affair, with Marsee tying a season high in both hits and RBI that included a one-run single in the ninth to cut the Marlins' deficit to one run. The 25-year-old center fielder has logged at least two hits in each of his last four games, going 11-for-18 with four RBI in that span. Marsee has a .682 OPS with 22 steals, nine home runs and 36 RBI across 559 plate appearances this season. |

Janson Junk Janson Junk Drubbed for eight runs in no-decision
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 9:45 PM
Junk did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 15-14 loss to the Mets, allowing eight runs on eight hits and one walk over three innings. He did not record a strikeout.
Analysis: Wednesday was arguably Junk's worst performance of the season, with the right-hander giving up six runs in the second inning before allowing two more runs in the third. The eight runs allowed tied a season high he set May 20 against Atlanta, but luckily for Junk, he avoided the loss thanks to the offensive output from his Marlins teammates. Junk now stands at a 4.54 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 111 innings, and he'll look to bounce back in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Diamondbacks. |

The Marlins optioned Blalock to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Pete Fairbanks Pete Fairbanks Reinstated from injured list
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 2:22 PM
The Marlins activated Fairbanks (hand) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis: As expected, Fairbanks required only a minimum 15-day absence while recovering from right medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand. Fairbanks did not make any rehab appearances, but he will likely be immediately thrown back into the closer role after a relatively brief absence. |

Jared Serna Jared Serna Cracks two doubles Tuesday
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 8:49 PM
Serna went 2-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored during Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Mets.
Analysis: Sean Manaea kept the Marlins hitless and scoreless through five innings, but Serna helped turn things around in the sixth with an RBI double in the sixth inning. He added another double in the seventh for the first multi-hit game of his major-league career, and he's 3-for-8 with two RBI and two runs scored since making his big-league debut Sept. 1. Serna will continue to see playing time for as long as Xavier Edwards (thumb) is on the IL. |

Sandy Alcantara Sandy Alcantara Gives up three homers in loss
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 8:46 PM
Alcantara (13-10) took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out one batter in 4.1 innings.
Analysis: Alcantara put the Marlins in a large hole early, with four of the six runs he gave up through the first three innings coming on home runs from Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto and Brett Baty. It's the fourth time this season (and second time since the All-Star break) that Alcantara has given up three home runs in a start, and it was the fourth time this year that he's given up at least seven earned runs in an outing. He has an 0-4 record over his last six starts with a 4.95 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 36.1 innings. Alcantara will look to get back on track next week against the Diamondbacks, the first of what projects to be a two-start week for the 31-year-old right-hander. |

Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Sitting versus lefty
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 2:49 PM
Stowers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Analysis: Stowers started the past three games after sitting out Friday due to hamstring tightness, and he'll return to the bench Tuesday while lefty Sean Manaea takes the mound for New York. Deyvison De Los Santos is handling first base and batting sixth for Miami. |
|
Joe Mack Joe Mack Getting day off
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 2:11 PM
Mack is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Analysis: The left-handed-hitting Mack's days off typically come when the opposition has a southpaw on the mound, and that's the case here with Sean Manaea slated to toe the rubber for the Mets. Brian Navarreto will handle the catching duties for the Marlins. |

Eury Perez Eury Perez Struggles again in 11th loss
Mon, Sep 7, 2026, 3:24 PM
Perez (7-11) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Perez wasn't sharp during a rare Monday afternoon first-pitch time, surrendering a season-high 10 knocks in another short start. The right-hander is showing real signs of fatigue amid the campaign's final stages, working fewer than five innings while yielding at least five runs in three straight outings. Things won't get any easier with the Dodgers looming for his next scheduled appearance, with Perez now carrying a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP 150:62 K:BB over a career-high 139.1 innings. |
