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). |

Analysis: After being placed on the 15-day injured list Monday, Meyer will not throw for another two weeks and will be evaluated after that period is over. The 27-year-old is eligible for activation Aug. 4 but will most likely log an extended absence before he returns to a big-league mound. |

Ryan Gusto Ryan Gusto Netting start Friday
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 11:56 AM
Gusto will start Friday's game versus the Padres, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: He's filling in for the injured Max Meyer (neck). Gusto made a two-inning relief appearance Tuesday in Houston and hasn't stretched out to a typical starter's workload since mid-June, so the Marlins will need to utilize their bullpen heavily in Friday's series opener. |

Owen Caissie Owen Caissie Progressing in recovery
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 6:08 PM
Caissie (calf) has been cleared to hit and has increased his defensive and plyometric work, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: Caissie has also been running "up to 85 percent" and continues to progress in his recovery from a mild right calf strain that landed him on the injured list July 9. The initial recovery timeline was 2-to-4 weeks, so the 24-year-old outfielder could be back with the Marlins by late July or early August, depending on when/if he goes on a rehab assignment. |

Josh Ekness Josh Ekness Ready for rehab assignment
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 5:38 PM
Ekness (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: Ekness has been on the shelf since June 1 due to a right calf injury, which was severe enough for him to shift to the 60-day injured list three weeks later. He's progressed enough in his recovery to start a rehab assignment, and given the length of his IL stint, he'll likely need a few minor-league games under his belt before he's cleared to return to the Marlins. |

Joe Mack Joe Mack Homers again Tuesday
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 10:23 AM
Mack went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.
Analysis: The rookie catcher made things interesting by taking AJ Blubaugh deep in the seventh inning with the Marlins down 5-1, but they couldn't creep any closer. Mack has gone yard in back-to-back games, giving him nine homers on the year, but he hasn't produced a multi-hit effort since July 4 and is batting just .179 (5-for-28) over his last 11 contests with a 3.2 percent walk rate against a 35.5 percent strikeout rate. |

Tyler Phillips Tyler Phillips Falls to Astros
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 10:55 PM
Phillips (2-5) completed 4.1 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out two batters in a loss to Houston on Tuesday.
Analysis: Phillips fell behind quickly, giving up a leadoff homer to Jeremy Pena in the bottom of the first inning. The righty hurler got through the third and fourth frames facing the minimum six batters, but he was pulled with one out in the fifth and was charged with an additional run, which was unearned, following his departure. While his final line wasn't entirely disastrous, Phillips managed just two punchouts and saw his season record drop to 2-5. He's lined up for a tough matchup against Philadelphia his next time out. |

Otto Lopez Otto Lopez Back in action Tuesday
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 4:21 PM
Lopez (finger) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Astros, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Analysis: Lopez sat out the Marlins' last two games while recovering from a finger injury he suffered while fielding a groundball Saturday. The issue appears to have subsided ahead of Tuesday's contest, however, so he'll reclaim his regular spot at shortstop. The 27-year-old has had an outstanding July up to this point, slashing .345/.377/.618 with two homers, nine RBI, eight runs and two steals in 13 games. |
