Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 1:51 PM

Analysis: Sanoja will begin the festivities on the bench for the second time over the Marlins' last three games. Graham Pauley is grabbing a start at third base in Sanoja's stead. |

Calvin Faucher Calvin Faucher Pockets fifth win
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 10:12 AM
Faucher (5-5) picked up the win Monday against the Phillies, walking one and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis: Miami was down 7-5 heading into the ninth, but after Faucher kept the game close in the top of the frame, his offense erupted for three runs off Philly closer Jhoan Duran to walk it off. Faucher has held the opposition off the board in seven of his 10 July appearances, but he's been tagged for a combined 10 runs in the other three, leaving him with a brutal 9.31 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB in 9.2 innings on the month. |

Cade Gibson Cade Gibson Escapes with fourth hold Monday
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 10:09 AM
Gibson recorded his fourth hold of the season in Monday's win over the Phillies, coughing up three runs on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning.
Analysis: The southpaw entered the game in the top of the sixth inning with the Marlins holding a 5-2 lead, and while Gibson immediately made a mess the rest of the bullpen needed to clean up, he technically exited the game with his team still ahead -- Tyler Zuber allowed two of Gibson's inherited runners to score after taking over. Over 10 appearances in July, Gibson has stumbled to a 5.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB through 11.2 innings, but he's collected all four of his holds along with one win. |

Otto Lopez Otto Lopez Swipes two bags against Phils
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 10:05 AM
Lopez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's win over the Phillies.
Analysis: The All-Star shortstop was a terror on the basepaths as he continues a breakout campaign. While he's gone 14 games without a home run, he's still been making an impact, batting .290 (9-for-31) in eight games since the All-Star break with three runs, three RBI and five of his career-high 22 steals. |

Griffin Conine Griffin Conine Plays hero in Monday's win
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 10:01 AM
Conine went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's win over the Phillies.
Analysis: The second-generation Marlin took Zack Wheeler deep for a solo shot in the second inning before capping a remarkable ninth-inning comeback off Philly closer Jhoan Duran with a walk-off single that brought home Heriberto Hernandez. Conine has been productive since coming off the IL in late June, and over his last 92 plate appearances he's delivered a .287/.380/.563 slash line with six homers, 12 runs and 14 RBI. |

Jakob Marsee Jakob Marsee Productive from bottom of order
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 9:56 AM
Marsee went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Monday's win over the Phillies.
Analysis: The 25-year-old center fielder has found himself batting ninth in his last two starts, and at least on Monday the move sparked a bit of offense from him. Marsee's had a rough season overall, but he's showing signs of life in July, slashing .255/.387/.333 over 18 games with one homer, one steal, five RBI and nine runs. |

Heriberto Hernandez Heriberto Hernandez Drills 15th homer
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 10:47 PM
Hernandez went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 8-7 win over the Phillies.
Analysis: Hernandez posted his fourth multi-hit effort in his past six outings, continuing a hot stretch at the dish during the month of July. Over his last 76 at-bats, he's batting .303 with seven homers, eight doubles and 12 RBI. On the year, Hernandez is slashing a respectable .245/.314/.486 with a career-high 15 long balls, 12 doubles 41 RBI and seven steals across 271 trips to the dish. |

Tyler Phillips Tyler Phillips Settles in after rocky first inning
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 10:28 PM
Phillips took a no-decision Monday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Phillips contained a formidable Philadelphia lineup Monday, settling down for four shutout innings after serving up a two-run home run to Bryce Harper in the opening frame. The Marlins continue to have fairly quick hooks for the 28-year-old right-hander, who hasn't reached the 80-pitch threshold in any of his five starts in July. Phillips will bring a 3.52 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and an alarming 63:38 K:BB over 84.1 innings into his next scheduled outing in New York against the last-place Mets. |

Michael Petersen Michael Petersen Remains day-to-day
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 3:33 PM
Petersen is still dealing with soreness in his right forearm after being struck by a comebacker during his relief appearance in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Padres, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Petersen avoided any structural damage to his forearm but the resulting bruise is still presenting some discomfort for the right-hander. The Marlins are treating him as day-to-day and could look to stay away from him in the first game or two of their series with the Phillies this week. |

Esteury Ruiz Esteury Ruiz Back on bench Monday
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 3:30 PM
Ruiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Analysis: Though Ruiz had been included in the lineup for three of the Marlins' previous four matchups with right-handed pitching, he'll be on the bench Monday against Phillies righty Zack Wheeler. Jakob Marsee will draw the starting nod in center field but has produced a .406 OPS during the Marlins' ongoing 12-game losing streak and could see his playing time take a hit if manager Clayton McCullough wants to open up more opportunities for Ruiz, who has submitted an .854 OPS over the same stretch of action. |

Owen Caissie Owen Caissie Cleared for rehab assignment
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 3:03 PM
Caissie (calf) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Caissie is scheduled to play three games with Jacksonville before being re-evaluated, so he would appear to have a shot at returning from the 10-day injured list as soon as this weekend. Before being deactivated July 9 due to a right calf strain, Caissie had cobbled together a .239/.297/.459 slash line with 12 home runs, four stolen bases, 50 RBI and 30 runs over 80 games with Miami. |

Owen Caissie Owen Caissie Takes BP Monday
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 1:29 PM
Caissie (calf) was spotted taking live batting practice at LoanDepot Park on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: Barral previously reported Wednesday that Caissie was running at about 85 percent intensity and increasing his defensive and plyometric work, and the young outfielder's ability to face live pitching Monday seemingly represents another step in the right direction. Caissie has been on the shelf since July 9 due to a right calf strain but could soon be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. |

Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Goes deep during loss
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 10:59 PM
Stowers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Padres.
Analysis: After doubling in his first plate appearance, Stowers took Walker Buehler deep for a solo homer, giving him 13 long balls on the season. The outfielder entered Sunday in a slump, batting just .152 over his previous 12 games, making the multi-hit effort a welcome sign. Through 81 games this season, Stowers owns a .234/.315/.441 slash line with 18 doubles, three triples, 45 RBI, 37 runs scored and one stolen base. |

Janson Junk Janson Junk Lasts 4.2 innings in no-decision
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 8:02 PM
Junk did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Padres, allowing one run on seven hits while striking out six over 4.2 innings.
Analysis: Junk threw 55 of his 75 pitches for strikes and matched his season high with six strikeouts despite generating only four whiffs. He was one strike away from completing five scoreless innings before Manny Machado ripped an RBI double in the fifth, ending both the shutout and Junk's outing. Through three starts since returning from a right shin injury, the right-hander has allowed nine runs (eight earned) across 13.2 innings. Junk owns a 4.89 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB over 73.2 innings this season and is scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Mets. |

Michael Petersen Michael Petersen Struck in forearm Sunday
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 2:22 PM
Petersen was lifted from his relief appearance during Sunday's game against the Padres due to a right forearm contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Petersen came on in relief of starter Janson Junk with two outs in the fourth inning and threw just two pitches before he was nailed by a grounder off the bat of Ty France. Marlins catcher Joe Mack gathered the loose ball and threw to first base to record the final out of the inning, but Petersen retreated to the locker room immediately after the play and wasn't available to return for the top of the fifth. Petersen has now made early exits from two of his last five relief appearances, as he was previously lifted from a July 12 contest against the Guardians due to a hamstring injury before getting a clean bill of health coming out of the All-Star break. |

Javier Sanoja Javier Sanoja Out of Sunday's lineup
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 12:33 PM
Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Sanoja started the previous six games and will head to the bench Sunday after going 3-for-14 with two walks and six strikeouts during that span. Graham Pauley will step in at the hot corner in the series finale versus San Diego while batting eighth. |

Jakob Marsee Jakob Marsee Not starting Sunday
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 12:33 PM
Marsee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: It's the second absence in the past four games for Marsee despite the fact that the Marlins haven't faced a left-handed starting pitcher since last weekend. Marsee is mired in a 3-for-23 slump and has a .605 OPS through 100 games this season, and the lack of offensive production may be catching up to him. Esteury Ruiz has an .853 OPS in 132 plate appearances this year and is picking up another start in center field for Miami. |

Eury Perez Eury Perez Tough-luck loss in quality start
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 6:53 PM
Perez (5-8) took the loss Saturday against San Diego, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: It was a bit of a hard-luck loss for Perez, who attained his fourth consecutive quality start. The hard-throwing right-hander opened the campaign with a 4.60 ERA through his first 11 outings but has been outstanding since coming off the injured list in late June, holding a 1.75 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB over his last six appearances (36 innings). Perez will bring a 3.56 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 106:38 K:BB across 98.2 frames overall into his next scheduled start against the last-place Mets, who will be without Juan Soto (calf). |

Joe Mack Joe Mack Resting up Saturday
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 11:30 AM
Mack isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.
Analysis: Mack will get a breather after hitting a home run in Friday's contest to extend his hitting streak to four games. Liam Hicks will handle catching duties with Mack on the bench. |

Tyler Zuber Tyler Zuber Picks up first loss
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 10:18 PM
Zuber (0-1) recorded the loss Friday against the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out two in two-thirds of an inning.
Analysis: Zuber entered with the game tied at two in the eighth inning before allowing the eventual game-winning two-run homer to Luis Rengifo. Zuber allowed his first earned since July 1 and his fourth homer. On the campaign, the 31-year-old now owns a 5.65 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB in 14.1 innings. |
