Max Meyer Fantasy Stats

Miami Marlins right-hander Max Meyer (neck, rib) received a cortisone shot in the rib area with the hope that it alleviates discomfort so that he can resume throwing soon, per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Meyer was placed on the 15-day injured list on July 20 with a neck strain, but apparently he's also been dealing with a rib injury that required an injection. Because the 27-year-old has been delayed in his return to a throwing program, it seems unlikely that he'd be able to rejoin the Marlins' starting rotation before the end of this month. However, we'll have a better timeline for his return once he resumes throwing off a mound. The former third overall pick in 2020 from the University of Minnesota was an All-Star this year in his fourth MLB campaign and was having an excellent season before his injury, going 9-1 with a career-low 2.68 ERA (3.49 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 121 strikeouts and 41 walks in 111 innings over his 20 starts. With a return expected this year, Meyer is being held in 76% of Yahoo leagues.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Max Meyer (neck) appears to be making progress after being sidelined since late July. According to Christina De Nicola, Meyer will have his neck re-evaluated next week. The right-hander has been out for weeks due to a neck strain. Once he's cleared to throw, it's going to take time for Meyer to ramp up again. This season, Meyer owns a 2.68 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and a 121/41 K/BB ratio across 20 starts. He earned the first All-Star selection of his career with his outstanding pitching in the first half of the season. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Meyer and be hopeful for his return in the coming weeks.

Miami Marlins right-hander Max Meyer (neck) will not throw for two weeks after he was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a neck injury, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. It means that Meyer won't be ready to return from the IL when he's eligible on Aug. 4. Fantasy managers should be stashing him in the meantime due to the success he's had in 2026 in his fourth year in the big leagues. Meyer was a first-time All-Star after going 9-1 with a career-best 2.68 ERA (3.51 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 121 strikeouts and 41 walks in 111 innings over his 20 starts. The 27-year-old former third overall pick from the University of Minnesota has not allowed more than two earned runs since his final start in May, when he gave up five earned runs with three walks and six strikeouts in a no-decision to the New York Mets. Meyer is no stranger to injuries in his career, but he had finally taken the next step this year with a career-high 26.2% strikeout rate before injuring his neck. He's currently rostered in 85% of Yahoo leagues.

The Miami Marlins announced on Monday that they placed right-hander Max Meyer (neck) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to July 19) with a neck strain and recalled right-hander Zach Brzykcy from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Meyer was given extra rest going into last week's All-Star Game after he initially reported some neck pain during his last start on July 7 against the Seattle Mariners. In his first outing of the second half of the season on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers, he lasted only three innings and allowed two earned runs with three walks and five strikeouts in a no-decision. It's unclear yet if Meyer will be ready to return to Miami's starting rotation when he's eligible to return on Aug. 4, but regardless, he deserves to be stashed in all fantasy formats in what has been a breakout 2026. The 27-year-old former third overall pick in 2020 out of the University of Minnesota is 9-1 on the season with a 2.68 ERA (3.51 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with a career-high 121 strikeouts and 41 walks in 111 innings across 20 starts. Left-hander Braxton Garrett could come up from Triple-A to take Meyer's rotation spot.

Miami Marlins right-hander Max Meyer will not make his scheduled start in Sunday's series finale against the Cleveland Guardians, according to Kevin Barral of Fish on First. The Marlins will go with a bullpen game to close out the first half of the regular season with the All-Star break coming on Monday. Meyer isn't hurt, but the Marlins want to give him some extra rest going into the second half. The 27-year-old will not pitch in the All-Star Game next week, either. Meyer, who has already exceeded 100 innings pitched this year for the first time in his career, is in the midst of a breakout season in his fourth year with the Fish. The Marlins could continue to manage his innings in the second half, too, considering he hasn't thrown more than 64 2/3 frames in the big leagues before this year. Meyer has gone 9-1 with a 2.58 ERA (3.54 FIP) and 1.11 WHIP with 116 strikeouts and 38 walks in his 19 starts. He's a must-hold in keeper leagues, but in redraft formats, fantasy managers may want to consider selling high on Meyer, who has a 3.78 xERA and .302 xwOBA (wOBA of .280).

The Miami Marlins announced on Friday that they reinstated right-hander Max Meyer from the bereavement list to make the start against the hosting St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Meyer is back in Miami's starting rotation after missing the week due to a personal family matter. The 27-year-old has been great for the Fish and fantasy managers alike in 2026, so he should be returned to most starting lineups on Friday as well. The former third overall pick of the 2020 MLB draft out of the University of Minnesota has gone a perfect 8-0 this year with a 2.80 ERA (3.33 FIP) and 1.16 WHIP with a career-high 102 strikeouts and 34 walks in 90 innings across his first 16 starts. In his first matchup against St. Louis at home on April 20, Meyer took a no-decision, allowing two earned runs on three hits while walking two and striking out eight in 5 1/3 innings pitched. Meyer has not allowed over two earned runs in any of his four starts in June while allowing only six earned runs, walking nine, and striking out 28 in 23 1/3 innings pitched.

Miami Marlins right-hander Max Meyer (personal) is expected to be activated from the bereavement list to start the series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday, according to Daniel Alvarez-Montes of El Extra Base. Meyer will not be forced to skip a turn in Miami's starting rotation after the team placed him on the bereavement list on Monday. The 27-year-old former third overall pick in 2020 out of the University of Minnesota is easily having his best year in the big leagues in 2026 in his fourth year in the Show, going 8-0 with a 2.80 ERA (3.32 FIP) and 1.16 WHIP with a career-high 102 strikeouts and 34 walks in 90 innings pitched across his 16 starts for the Fish. Meyer faced the Cardinals back on April 20 fifth start of the year at home, and allowed two earned runs with two walks and eight strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings pitched in a no-decision. St. Louis isn't the greatest matchup in MLB -- they have the 12th-best OPS (.728) -- but Meyer has just been too good this year to consider benching, even with a potential heavy heart on Friday.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Max Meyer is beginning to open eyes with the way he has been pitching on the mound lately. Over the last five starts, Meyer has allowed zero earned runs in three of those contests. During that span, Meyer has also struck out five or more batters in every start. The right-hander has looked great with a 2.85 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 60 strikeouts through 10 starts this season. The potential has always been there with Meyer being taken in the first-round from the 2020 Draft. He appears to be putting it all together at the big league level now. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and scoop up Meyer if he's available.

Miami Marlins right-hander Max Meyer extended his breakout season on Monday night in the team's 12-0 rout over the Atlanta Braves with another dominant outing, tossing six shutout innings with three hits allowed, two walks, and six strikeouts to win his fourth game of the year. Meyer is emerging as a top waiver-wire target for fantasy managers and is now 4-0 on the year with a career-best 2.85 ERA (3.07 FIP) and 1.12 WHIP with 60 strikeouts and 19 walks in 53 2/3 innings pitched across his 10 starts with the Fish in his fourth big-league season. The 27-year-old's performance was pretty impressive against the first-place Braves, and he has now gone at least five innings while giving up two or fewer runs in six of his last eight appearances. Meyer will be a must-start against the division-rival New York Mets in his next scheduled start this weekend. He is currently rostered in 62% of Yahoo leagues, but that number should be going up slowly but surely.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Max Meyer finished with mixed results during his most recent outing against the Minnesota Twins. Meyer tossed 5.2 innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while striking out nine batters in the win. The four earned runs are the most that Meyer has allowed in a single start this season. However, the nine punchouts are a season-high for Meyer, so he was able to salvage his fantasy value with those strikeouts. The right-hander will take a 3.21 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and a 54:17 K:BB ratio into his next outing against the Atlanta Braves. It'll be a two-start week for Meyer with the New York Mets later in the week. The right-hander has mostly given encouraging results throughout the season and is worthy of a look for a two-start week.
