Jacob Stallings Jacob Stallings Takes seat Thursday Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 4:13 PM Stallings is out of the lineup Thursday against the Mets. Analysis: Nick Fortes will start at catcher and bat eighth versus the Mets and left-hander David Peterson. Stallings went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Wednesday and is slashing just .189/.279/.288 across 267 total plate appearances this season.
Jesus Sanchez Jesus Sanchez On bench versus lefty Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 4:11 PM Sanchez is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Mets. Analysis: Jon Berti, Jazz Chisholm and Bryan De La Cruz will start across the outfield for the Marlins as they take on left-hander David Peterson at Citi Field. Sanchez has slashed just .217/.250/.326 in 49 plate appearances versus lefties this season.
Enmanuel De Jesus Enmanuel De Jesus Sent back to Triple-A Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 4:01 PM De Jesus was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: De Jesus has surrendered eight earned runs across his first 6.1 major-league innings this season. Tanner Scott is back from the paternity list in a corresponding move ahead of the Marlins' series finale Thursday versus the Mets.
Tanner Scott Tanner Scott Back from paternity leave Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 3:58 PM Scott was activated from the paternity list ahead of Thursday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: Scott missed Wednesday's doubleheader at Citi Field while welcoming a new addition to his growing family, but he is back in time for Thursday's series finale. The 29-year-old left-hander had been serving as the Marlins' primary closer prior to his brief absence and boasts an overall 2.38 ERA with 101 strikeouts through 75.2 innings this season.
Luis Arraez Luis Arraez Remains sidelined Thursday Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 3:41 PM Arraez (ankle) remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the Mets. Analysis: Arraez has now started only two of the Marlins' last seven games, at a crucial time as they look to claim the third NL wild-card spot. He sprained his left ankle during an infield drill last Tuesday and then aggravated the injury Saturday when he slipped on the dugout steps in Miami. Xavier Edwards is covering second base and batting ninth in Thursday's series finale against New York.
Jon Berti Jon Berti Hits for cycle across twin bill Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 9:26 AM Berti went 5-for-7 with two walks, a double, a triple, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Mets. Analysis: After getting the start at second base in the matinee and going 3-for-4 with his double and triple, Berti moved over the third base in the nightcap and completed his pseudo-cycle by leading off the game with his seventh homer of the year against Kodai Senga. Berti has reeled off five multi-hit performances in his last six starts as part of an eight-game hitting streak, and the veteran utility player is batting .583 (14-for-24) over that blistering stretch with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and four home runs), two steals, six runs and six RBI. The Marlins are currently tied for the final wild-card spot in the NL, and should they make the postseason, Berti's September could become the stuff of legend in Miami.
Andrew Nardi Andrew Nardi Notches third save Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 9:19 AM Nardi recorded his third save of the season in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, walking one and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning. Analysis: With Tanner Scott (paternity leave) unavailable, Nardi wound up getting the save chance as A.J. Puk, David Robertson and Matt Moore had already combined to throw 3.2 innings of scoreless relief in the nightcap. Nardi has been scored upon only once in his last 15 appearances, posting a 0.61 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB through 14.2 innings since Aug. 19 with two wins and eight holds, but the save was his first since June 18.
Johnny Cueto Johnny Cueto No-decision in twin bill Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 9:13 AM Cueto came away with a no-decision in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over 4.1 innings in a 4-2 win for the Marlins. He struck out four. Analysis: The veteran right-hander exited the game after 73 pitches (47 strikes) with the score tied 2-2, and both runs came on solo shots by Francisco Lindor. Cueto continues to have difficulty keeping the ball in the park -- since the beginning of August, he's served up 13 long balls in only 36.1 innings, leading to a 6.44 ERA -- but this time he avoided serving them up with runners on base. The Marlins head into Thursday tied with the Cubs for the final wild-card spot in the NL, and should a playoff berth still be on the line, Cueto could be available for the final game of the regular season Oct. 1 in Pittsburgh.
Braxton Garrett Braxton Garrett Falls to Mets for seventh loss Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 9:08 AM Garrett (9-7) took the loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, giving up four runs on three hits and two walks over four innings as the Marlins were routed 11-2. He struck out two. Analysis: Originally schedule to pitch Tuesday, the extra day of rest just seemed to throw Garrett off as he got tagged for more than three runs for the first time since July 21, on the backs of two-run homers by Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. The southpaw got lifted after 77 pitches (46 strikes), perhaps with the intention of being available in some capacity for the final game of the season Oct. 1 should a wild-card spot still be on the line. Heading into Thursday, the Marlins are tied with the Cubs for the final playoff berth in the NL. Since the beginning of August, Garrett has a 2.85 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB through 53.2 innings and has been Miami's most consistent pitcher.
Jorge Soler Jorge Soler Idle for nightcap Wed, Sep 27, 2023, 6:55 PM Soler isn't in the Marlins' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: After an 0-for-4 performance to begin the day, Soler will ride the pine to begin the second game of Wednesday's twin bill. Jake Burger will serve as Miami's DH while Jon Berti starts at third base.
Luis Arraez Luis Arraez Held out of Game 2 Wed, Sep 27, 2023, 6:52 PM Arraez (ankle) won't start in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: Arraez was also held out of the first game Wednesday, and he still has yet to appear in a game since injuring his ankle Saturday against Milwaukee. Xavier Edwards will start at second base and bat ninth while Arraez continues to heal.
Johnny Cueto Johnny Cueto Will start nightcap Wednesday Wed, Sep 27, 2023, 1:03 PM Cueto will start for the Marlins in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: Cueto's last two appearances have come in relief, and he's managed just a 6.64 ERA in nine starts this season. The Marlins' hands are tied, though, between injuries and Tuesday's rainout, so they'll give Cueto another shot. Miami has not yet announced any of their starters for their weekend series in Pittsburgh, but it should be all hands on deck.
Yuli Gurriel Yuli Gurriel Gets start at first base Wed, Sep 27, 2023, 12:21 PM Gurriel is starting at first base and batting sixth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: Jorge Soler is getting a start in right field and Josh Bell will be the designated hitter, opening up first base for Gurriel. It's the first start since Sept. 16 for the 39-year-old.
Jesus Sanchez Jesus Sanchez Not in lineup for first game Wed, Sep 27, 2023, 12:18 PM Sanchez is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports Analysis: The Mets have yet to announce the order of their starters for the double dip, but Sanchez's absence from the lineup suggests lefty Joey Lucchesi will start the first game and Kodai Senga will get the nightcap. Jorge Soler is playing right field in the first contest while Yuli Gurriel handles first base and Josh Bell is used at designated hitter.
Luis Arraez Luis Arraez Out for first game Wednesday Wed, Sep 27, 2023, 12:08 PM Arraez (ankle) remains out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: Arraez had been set to miss Tuesday's contest before it was rained out and is not in there for the makeup game, either. He hasn't played since Sept. 23 because of a left ankle sprain, and it's not clear whether he might have a shot to participate in Wednesday's nightcap. Jon Berti is at second base and batting fifth for the first game.
Braxton Garrett Braxton Garrett Start delayed Tue, Sep 26, 2023, 7:33 PM Garrett won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Mets after the game was postponed due to poor field conditions. Analysis: The playing surface at Citi Field was unable to recover from a weekend of rain, so the Mets and Marlins will be forced to play a doubleheader Wednesday. Garrett holds a dominant 0.57 ERA since the start of September and will presumably start one of Wednesday's games.
Huascar Brazoban Huascar Brazoban Returns from IL Tue, Sep 26, 2023, 6:27 PM The Marlins reinstated Brazoban (hamstring/hip) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: Brazoban has been on the injured list since Aug. 14 due to a strained left hamstring and also was battling a left hip impingement. He gave up three runs over 2.2 innings during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville and will serve as a bullpen depth piece as Miami fights for a playoff spot. Tanner Scott was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.
Tanner Scott Tanner Scott On paternity leave Tue, Sep 26, 2023, 6:22 PM The Marlins placed Scott on the paternity list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Analysis: The Marlins will be without their primary closer for up to three days as Scott spends time with his expanding family. Huascar Brazoban (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list to take Scott's roster spot.
Jesus Sanchez Jesus Sanchez On bench versus lefty Tue, Sep 26, 2023, 6:03 PM Sanchez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets. Analysis: Bryan De La Cruz, Jazz Chisholm and Jorge Soler will start across the outfield as the Marlins take on left-hander Joey Lucchesi. Sanchez has slashed just .227/.261/.341 in 47 plate appearances versus lefties this season.
Luis Arraez Luis Arraez Out again with ankle injury Tue, Sep 26, 2023, 5:52 PM Arraez (ankle) remains out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets. Analysis: Arraez sprained his left ankle one week ago while taking pregame infield practice and then aggravated the injury Saturday when he slipped on the dugout steps in Miami. Jon Berti will play second base and fifth Tuesday at Citi Field.
