Anthony Bender Stats

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive May 23. He will be sidelined due to back stiffness, which is something that has bothered Bender for quite some time now. The Marlins are expected to use closer by committee while Bender is out. Anthony Bass, Cole Sulser, Tanner Scott and Dylan Floro should all get chances in the ninth inning. There isn't a clear winner here, but Floro might be the best option out of everyone.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (hip) has been dealing with hip soreness lately. He was held out of action this past weekend and we saw the team turn to both Tanner Scott and Louis Head for saves. However, on Tuesday, Bender was available and he was called upon to close out the team's 5-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, retiring all three batters in order. He is now 3-for-4 on save opportunities this year. Expect for Bender to carry on as the team's primary closer for now, but remember that Dylan Floro (shoulder) is nearing a return and could complicate the saves picture once he's back.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (hip) is dealing with soreness in his hip, and the Marlins are being cautious with him after it started acting up in his last outing on April 20 when he allowed two earned runs on a home run while walking one and striking out two in a loss over one inning of work. With a save opportunity on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, it was Tanner Scott, not Bender, coming in to get the save. The 27-year-old is feeling better, but it remains to be seen when he'll toe the rubber next. Dylan Floro (shoulder) remains on the injured list, so the Fish will move forward with a closer committee involving Scott, Bender, Cole Sulser and Anthony Bass. Bender has two saves but has also allowed four earned runs in his first 4 1/3 innings over five outings to begin the season.
