Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 8:07 PM
Edwards isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Analysis: Edwards has gone 3-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored in two games since returning from the injured list, and the Marlins will now give him a chance to rest Tuesday while Javier Sanoja starts at the keystone and Graham Pauley mans third base. |

Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 8:01 PM
The Marlins recalled Blalock from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Analysis: With Pete Fairbanks (hand) landing on the injured list Tuesday, the Marlins will bring Blalock back up from Triple-A to fill the void in their bullpen. The 25-year-old has given up two earned runs in six MLB innings this season but carries a 5.56 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 110 frames in the minors. |

Pete Fairbanks Pete Fairbanks Placed on injured list
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 7:53 PM
The Marlins placed Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right median nerve irritation.
Analysis: Fairbanks has already landed on the injured list twice this season due to nerve issues in his right hand, and his third will cause his season to come to an early end. The 32-year-old picked up 19 saves while struggling to a 6.31 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 41.1 innings during his first year with the Marlins. Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen will both be candidates to work as Miami's closer during the season's final weeks. |

Max Meyer Max Meyer Return this season ruled out
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 12:22 PM
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough announced Monday that Meyer (neck) has been shut down from throwing and will not return this season, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Meyer landed on the 15-day injured list just after the All-Star break because of a neck strain. He resumed throwing earlier this month in a last-ditch effort to make a late-season return, but the decision has been made to shut the right-hander down. Meyer will undergo further evaluation before the next steps of his rehab are determined, but it seems at this juncture that the 27-year-old should be ready to roll by spring training. The righty will finish the 2026 season with a 2.68 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 121:41 K:BB over a career-high 111 innings. |

Pete Fairbanks Pete Fairbanks Nerve issues resurface
Tue, Sep 15, 2026, 12:13 PM
Fairbanks' removal from Monday's appearance in Arizona was due to a recurrence of medial nerve irritation in his pitching hand, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Making his second appearance since coming off the injured list, Fairbanks threw only six pitches Monday before exiting. Fairbanks has required two different trips to the 15-day injured list this season with his nerve problem, and if he needs a third, it would end his season. More should be known about Fairbanks' condition prior to Tuesday's contest against the Diamondbacks. If Fairbanks is shelved, Calvin Faucher and Michael Petersen are among the candidates to fill the Marlins' closer role. |

Agustin Ramirez Agustin Ramirez Hits walk-off homer Sunday
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 4:55 PM
Ramirez went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.
Analysis: Ramirez entered a 4-4 game with a runner on second in the ninth inning and launched a 407-foot walk-off blast. It was a highlight in an otherwise disappointing year for the 25-year-old, who owns a lowly .669 OPS over 30 games since being recalled by Miami. On the year, he's slashing .225/.318/.348 with four homers, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and four steals across 214 major-league plate appearances. |

Eury Perez Eury Perez Allows three runs in no-decision
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 4:51 PM
Perez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Analysis: Perez surrendered a three-run homer in the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Dodgers in check, throwing 59 of 96 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs. While it was an encouraging effort considering he yielded 16 runs over his previous three starts, the 23-year-old has not exceeded five strikeouts in six straight outings. He'll carry a 3.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 155:64 K:BB across 144.1 innings into a road matchup with the Padres next weekend. |

Owen Caissie Owen Caissie Lands on IL with back injury
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 12:11 PM
The Marlins placed Caissie on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a lumbar stress reaction.
Analysis: Caissie was initially diagnosed with hamstring tightness after being removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers. However, further tests have revealed a lower-back injury for the 24-year-old outfielder, and he won't be eligible to return until the last week of the regular season. Xavier Edwards (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, and Esteury Ruiz figures to see more playing time in the outfield for as long as Caissie is sidelined. |

Xavier Edwards Xavier Edwards Back from injured list Sunday
Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 12:08 PM
The Marlins reinstated Edwards (thumb) from the 10-day injured list, and he will start at second base and bat fifth against the Dodgers on Sunday.
Analysis: Edwards has been cleared to return from a two-week absence due to a left thumb sprain, and his reinstatement from the 10-day injured list corresponds with the Marlins placing Owen Caissie (back) on the 10-day IL. Edwards is slashing .282/.361/.376 with 20 steals, six home runs and 51 RBI across 574 plate appearanes this season. |

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. |

Shelved again at Double-A
Sat, Sep 12, 2026, 4:39 PM
Arquette (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Pensacola on Saturday.
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. |

Ryan Gusto Ryan Gusto Posts quality start in loss
Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 9:45 PM
Gusto (1-5) took the loss against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over six innings.
Analysis: Gusto filled the zone with 60 of 89 pitches en route to his first quality start since Aug. 4. It marked just the second time in seven outings since then that the 27-year-old pitched beyond the fifth inning. He'll take a 4.14 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 65:25 K:BB across 78.1 innings this season into a road matchup with the Diamondbacks next week. |

Javier Sanoja Javier Sanoja Extends hit streak in loss
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. On the season, he's slashing .294/.333/.444 with eight homers, 57 RBI, 44 runs scored and 10 steals across 431 plate appearances. |

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. |

Joe Mack Joe Mack Drives in three runs Wednesday
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 9:57 PM
Mack went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored during the Marlins' 15-14 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
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. |
