Dazzles in Jacksonville debut
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 10:02 AM
Beck threw five no-hit, scoreless innings for Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, striking out five without walking a batter.
Analysis: The game was called after five innings due to rain, and the only thing that prevented Beck's outing from being perfect was an error by third baseman Gage Miller. Acquired from the Cubs in the Braxton Garrett trade, Beck isn't on the 40-man roster and is unlikely to be a rotation option for the Marlins this season, but the 26-year-old right-hander could be knocking on the door of a 2027 big-league debut. After dominating Double-A (102:30 K:BB in 59.2 innings) to begin the year, Beck has a 4.95 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through his first 20 innings at Triple-A between the Cubs and Marlins' systems. |

Lighting up Southern League
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 9:50 AM
Compton has produced a .348/.432/.791 slash line with 15 home runs in 32 games for Double-A Pensacola.
Analysis: Promoted from High-A Beloit in late June, Compton has been destroying Southern League pitching ever since, and per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com his 12 homers in July set a new franchise record for Pensacola in addition to earning him Hitter of the Month honors in the Marlins' system. The 46th overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Compton has split his time between the outfield corners and DH this season as he tries to find a defensive home, but it's his bat that will carry him to the majors -- during that blistering July, he ranked in the 100th percentile in hard-hit rate at Double-A with a 64.4 percent mark. |

Analysis: Gusto threw 44 of 60 pitches for strikes, settling in with two scoreless innings after allowing runs in each of his first two frames.

He owns a 4.78 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 43:14 K across 49 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Reds next weekend. |

Kyle Stowers Kyle Stowers Exits Sunday with hamstring issue
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 2:55 PM
Stowers was removed from Sunday's game against the Angels in the fifth inning due to left hamstring discomfort, Craig Mish of Marlins.tv reports. He went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored before departing.
Analysis: Stowers appeared to tweak his hamstring while running out of the batter's box on an RBI single in the fifth. After reaching first base, Stowers appeared to be in pain before limping to the dugout and getting replaced by a pinch hitter. Stowers previously opened the season on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, though that injury was to his right leg. The Marlins will presumably send Stowers in for an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. |

Xavier Edwards Xavier Edwards Big day in Saturday's win
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 7:41 PM
Edwards went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 7-0 rout of the Angels.
Analysis: The second baseman kicked the Marlins' offense into gear with a two-run double in the third inning as he tied his season high in RBI. Remarkably, it was the first time Edwards had scored multiple runs in a game since June 30 -- coming into Saturday, he'd crossed the plate only four times in his last 31 contests despite consistently hitting in the top half of the lineup. On the season, Edwards sports a .287/.367/.394 slash line with six homers, 18 steals, 44 RBI and 54 runs in 429 plate appearances. |

Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 7:36 PM
Alcantara (13-6) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-0 rout of the Angels, scattering three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
Analysis: With his eighth out of the afternoon -- a strikeout of Josh Lowe -- the veteran righty became the Marlins' all-time leader in innings pitched, passing Ricky Nolasco. Alcantara has been locked in of late, tossing 20 consecutive shutout frames over his last three outings and winning all three while posting a 0.75 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB. His 13 wins is tied for second in the NL, behind Cristopher's Sanchez 15. Alcantara will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Cincinnati. |

Analysis: Meyer has been shut down from throwing since he landed on the injured list July 20 with a neck strain, but he may be cleared to resume activity if he shows enough signs of healing during his upcoming evaluation.

Robby Snelling Robby Snelling Nearing throwing program
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 4:20 PM
Snelling (elbow) is expected to begin a throwing program in September, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Snelling is out for the season after undergoing internal brace surgery in May to repair a UCL tear in his left elbow. The fact that Miami has already planned the beginning of his throwing program is a good sign that his recovery is going well, but the left-hander may still have to miss the first few months of the 2027 campaign before returning to the rotation. |

Could make MLB debut this year
Fri, Aug 7, 2026, 9:06 AM
Long could be called up to the Marlins before the end of the season to fill a short-side platoon role in left field and at first base, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Acquired from the Cubs at the trade deadline in the Braxton Garrett deal, Long has had an up-and-down 2026 season at Triple-A, but since the beginning of July he boasts a .337/.425/.606 slash line with 13 doubles and five homers in 120 plate appearances. The 24-year-old could provide some balance to a heavily left-handed Miami lineup, but he would likely have a hard time winning consistent playing time. |

Eury Perez Eury Perez Mixed bag in ninth loss
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 9:43 PM
Perez (5-9) took the loss Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out nine.
Analysis: Most of the damage came during the second inning, when Atlanta plated three runs, but Perez was dominant at times Wednesday. The hard-throwing right-hander generated 18 whiffs on the way to matching a season high in strikeouts, and he's now posted a 2.30 ERA and 0.96 WHIP to go with a 49:14 K:BB over his last eight starts (47 innings) since returning from the injured list. Perez will take a 3.61 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 121:42 K:BB across 109.2 frames overall into his next scheduled outing against Pittsburgh. |

Heriberto Hernandez Heriberto Hernandez Expected to remain everyday player
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 6:17 PM
Hernandez will start in left field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis: Though his playing-time outlook appeared to have worsened after Owen Caissie returned from the injured list Saturday, Hernandez looks poised to remain a near-everyday player for the Marlins after Liam Hicks was traded to the Rays on Monday. Dating back to July 8, Hernandez has started in all but one of the Marlins' 22 games and has produced a .761 OPS during that span. |

Ryan Gusto Ryan Gusto Dealt tough-luck loss
Tue, Aug 4, 2026, 8:49 PM
Gusto (0-3) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits while striking out five over six innings.
Analysis: Gusto's only mistake came on the first pitch of the second inning, when Ozzie Albies launched a solo homer. Miami's offense provided little support, failing to score until it was too late in the ninth inning. The six-inning effort marked the longest outing of his season. It was a bounce-back performance for the right-hander, who in his previous start against the Phillies surrendered six runs. Gusto owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB across 45 innings this season and will look for his first win of 2026 in his next scheduled start Sunday against the Angels. |
