Calvin Faucher Hits 15-Day Injured List

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Calvin Faucher (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with a right-shoulder impingement. The 28-year-old will now be sidelined for at least the next two weeks and may not have many opportunities to pitch this season. Faucher has been a strong piece in the Miami bullpen, holding a strong 2.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and a 5:19 BB:K ratio with six saves in his past 13 innings. 29-year-old Anthony Bender was also activated off the IL on Saturday and should now be one of the front runners to see save opportunities down the stretch. Fantasy managers in need of saves should pay close attention to who gets the first ninth-inning opportunity over the weekend while Faucher remains sidelined.

Max Meyer Heading To The Injured List

According to sources, the Miami Marlins are placing right-hander Max Meyer (undisclosed) on the 15-day injured list on Saturday due to an undisclosed ailment. Meyer will no longer be available to make his scheduled start on Sunday at LoanDepot Park in the series finale against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. If Meyer has a minimal stint on the IL, he'll only be able to provide fantasy managers with one or two more starts to close out the year. The 25-year-old former third overall pick by the Fish in 2020 out of Minnesota, Meyer has been very inconsistent in 11 starts (57 innings) in 2024 in his second year in the big leagues, going 3-5 with a 5.68 ERA (5.92 FIP), a 1.42 WHIP and a 46:19 K:BB. He missed all of the 2023 campaign after Tommy John surgery. Don't sleep on him in 2025, though, as he could be a viable back-end starter in mixed leagues another year removed from his elbow surgery.

Edward Cabrera Scratched On Friday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (undisclosed) has been scratched ahead of his start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. The organization hasn't given a reason why Cabrera was pulled ahead of his start. He has already been on the injured list twice this season, so hopefully he won't require a third trip. In the meantime, Austin Kitchen will draw the start for Friday's game. The 27-year-old has only thrown five innings on the big-league club this season. Kitchen won't be an ideal streaming option against a tough Phillies lineup.

Jesus Sanchez Serving As The DH On Friday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (back) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup for the Fish on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Zack Wheeler at LoanDepot Park for the second game of the series against the division rivals. Sanchez returns to the lineup after missing the last two ball games with mild back spasms. The matchup isn't the greatest for Sanchez in his return, but he is batting .400 with a .905 OPS and two RBI in 15 career at-bats against Wheeler. In addition to his strong numbers against Wheeler, the 26-year-old Dominican outfielder enters Friday's contest riding a modest five-game hitting streak in which he's gone 6-for-11 with two RBI, two stolen bases and a run scored. Sanchez has offered a modest power/speed combination for fantasy managers in 2024 and has provided 17 long balls and 12 stolen bases in 414 total at-bats.

Jesus Luzardo Plans To Return In 2025

Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo (back) said that he's planning on returning in the 2025 season and will stay with the club to complete workouts and treatment the rest of this season. Luzardo continues to rest due to a lumbar stress reaction in his back while doing bike workouts and forearm and shoulder strengthening. The 26-year-old southpaw was put on the 15-day injured list back on June 22 before eventually being moved to the 60-day IL on June 23. Luzardo was initially scratched from his start on June 22 after dealing with a back issue for a couple of weeks, and it turned out to be a lumbar stress reaction, ending his season. The former third-rounder went 3-6 before the injury in 2024 with a 5.00 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings over his 12 starts, but he could be an attractive bounce-back candidate with better health in 2025.

Eury Pérez  • SP  •  Marlins

Eury Perez Could Begin Throwing Program Soon

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez (elbow), who is working on total-body strengthening after suffering a UCL tear in his right arm, will be evaluated for a throwing program in the coming weeks. Perez started the 2024 season on the injured list and had Tommy John surgery on April 8 after experiencing tightness in his right arm during his bullpen session on April 2. He was moved to the 60-day IL on April 4 and is obviously missing the entire season. Even if the 21-year-old's rehab this winter goes off without a hitch, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting him to be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign. The Dominican was extremely impressive in his MLB debut last year, though, posting a 3.15 ERA (4.11 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 108 punchouts in 91 1/3 innings over 19 starts. When he returns in 2025, expect the Fish to carefully monitor his workload.

Sixto Sanchez Continuing Bullpen Progression

Miami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) is continuing his bullpen progression at the team's spring training complex in Jupiter, Fla. Sanchez experienced a dip in his velocity during a May 31 start against the Texas Rangers and was placed on the injured list on June 2 with right-shoulder inflammation before eventually being moved to the 60-day IL on June 25. He has a long history of serious shoulder injuries, including two surgeries that caused him to miss three full seasons from 2021-23. The 26-year-old former top prospect has been throwing bullpens since late June, but it's understandable while the Marlins are in no rush to bring him back in a lost season. It would be a big surprise if we see Sanchez pitching in relief for the Fish in the big leagues again this year, and he'll enter the 2025 season well off the fantasy radar.

Dane Myers Starts Baseball Activities

Miami Marlins outfielder Dane Myers (ankle) is running, hitting and doing defensive work at the team's spring training complex in Jupiter, Fla., after he was moved to the 60-day injured list on Aug. 25. Myers suffered a fractured ankle on July 13 when he kicked a door in the clubhouse after being ejected from the game. After returning to the team on July 14, Myers visited with a foot specialist and was placed in a walking boot. Before the 28-year-old started his baseball activities, he was just working out and running on an anti-gravity treadmill. It's good news that he has resumed baseball activities, but with time running out in the 2024 regular season, Myers might be a long shot to return before the end of September. In 83 at-bats before his ankle injury, he was hitting .265/.337/.422 with a decent .759 OPS with only two homers, 14 RBI and four stolen bases.

Ryan Weathers  • SP  •  Marlins

Ryan Weathers Looks Good In First Rehab Start

Miami Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers (finger) looked good in his first minor-league rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday, tossing three scoreless innings while giving up two hits, walking none and striking out three on 43 pitches (27 strikes). Weathers was moved to the 60-day injured list on July 7 to clear space on the team's 40-man roster while he recovers from a left index-finger strain. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Weathers is expected to return to Miami's starting rotation in the middle of September. The 24-year-old southpaw has been out since early June, so he figures to need at least one more rehab start before the big-league club is comfortable activating him. Weathers, a former first-rounder, had a 3.55 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 67 strikeouts in 71 innings over 13 starts earlier this year before his injury. He's most likely only going to make a start or two for the Marlins down the stretch.

Anthony Bender  • RP  •  Marlins

Anthony Bender Scheduled For Back-To-Back Rehab Outings

Miami Marlins right-handed reliever Anthony Bender (shoulder) is scheduled for back-to-back rehab outings with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Bender threw 20 pitches (15 strikes) in an inning of work for Jacksonville on Saturday, which was his first rehab appearance since landing on the injured list on Aug. 15. He struck out two and gave up one run in that outing. The 29-year-old last pitched for the Marlins on Aug. 10 against the San Diego Padres before going down with a right-shoulder impingement. He received an injection in his shoulder on Aug. 15 but could return to the big-league bullpen by this weekend, barring any setbacks this week in the minors. When Bender is back, he figures to operate in a late-inning setup role for the Fish in front of Calvin Faucher, who has taken over closing duties in Miami of late.

Jesus Sanchez Out With Back Injury

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (back) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest at LoanDepot Park against the visiting division-rival Washington Nationals. Sanchez was forced to exit Tuesday's game early with a mild back muscle spasm while stealing second base during the second inning of the series opener. He was feeling better after the game on Tuesday and was hopeful he could return a day later, but that won't be the case. Since Sanchez's injury isn't considered very serious, he could be back in action for Thursday's series opener versus the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Rookie Griffin Conine is starting in right field and batting eighth on Wednesday against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. In his first 21 major-league at-bats, the 27-year-old Conine has gone 6-for-21 (.286) with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored.

Sandy Alcantara To Throw Another Bullpen On Wednesday

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (elbow) is set to throw another bullpen session on Wednesday after getting through a 40-pitch up-and-down bullpen session last Saturday. Alcantara threw his first bullpen on July 24 that consisted of 20 pitches. He initially felt discomfort in his right arm on his 94th and final pitch on Sept. 3 of last year and was diagnosed with a right-forearm flexor strain. An MRI exam later showed a right UCL sprain that required Tommy John surgery on Oct. 6. The 28-year-old is making slow and steady progress as he looks to be fully healthy and ready to go for the start of spring training and the regular season in 2025. Alcantara has already shown the ability to be a fantasy ace after winning the 2022 National League Cy Young in his sixth year in the league. However, fantasy managers will be hesitant to draft him as an ace next spring.

Braxton Garrett  • SP  •  Marlins

Braxton Garrett To Make A Rehab Start On Thursday

Miami Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett (forearm) will make a minor-league rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Thursday and will go either three innings or 50 pitches. Garrett has been given the green light to pitch in games again after throwing a live batting practice session over the weekend and a bullpen on Tuesday. Because of the fact that the 27-year-old southpaw has been on the injured list since the middle of June, he's likely going to need at least a couple of rehab starts, which means he probably won't be able to make more than one or two starts in the big leagues to close out the season. Fantasy managers can't be expecting much from Garrett the rest of the way, especially since he's made only seven starts in 2024. In those seven starts, he posted a 5.35 ERA (3.83 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 34 strikeouts and only four walks in 37 innings.

Deyvison De Los Santos Launches Home Run No. 36

Miami Marlins first base/third base prospect Deyvison De Los Santos went 2-for-6 with a double and his 36th home run of the 2024 campaign. De Los Santos was traded to the Marlins at the deadline in exchange for left-handed pitcher A.J. Puk. The infielder opened the campaign at the Double-A level and posted an excellent .372/.426/.696 line through a 38-game stint. Then, through 77 games at Triple-A (split between Reno and Jacksonville), he sits with a .278/.326/.562 line with 22 home runs and 70 RBI. De Los Santos has emerged as one of the best power hitters in the minor leagues and could be in contention for a late-season major league debut. Deeper league managers should continue to stash the 21-year-old as he could provide elite power down the stretch.

Derek Hill  • CF  •  Marlins

Derek Hill Homers Twice

Miami Marlins outfielder Derek Hill had a nice game on Thursday, going 3-for-6 with a pair of homers in a 12-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Hill tacked on a pair of runs and three RBI to round out his line. The 28-year-old has found a place in the everyday lineup for the Marlins since being acquired by them at the trade deadline, and he's at least been able to provide some power and speed. He has four homers and three steals on the month, but his batting average has remained low. He isn't a terrible deep-league option for those in need of some power or speed, but he doesn't have much appeal outside of that.

Adam Mazur  • SP  •  Marlins

Adam Mazur Dazzles On Wednesday Evening

Miami Marlins starting pitching prospect Adam Mazur logged another stellar outing on Wednesday evening. He tossed seven innings of one-run ball with just two hits and no free passes. He struck out a season-high nine batters. This was his second straight quality start and a great sign for the 23-year-old as he posted a hefty 6.92 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP in his previous three outings before this stretch. The Iowa product got a brief look at the major leagues this season when he was still on the Padres and held a 7.49 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP through his first 33 frames. However, since joining the Marlins organization, Mazur has held a much-improved 3.81 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP at Triple-A. The right-hander remains a name to keep an eye on in deeper leagues, as he may earn a late-season promotion to the big leagues.

Calvin Faucher  • RP  •  Marlins

Calvin Faucher Records Fourth Save

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Calvin Faucher recorded the save in Tuesday's 9-8 win against the Colorado Rockies. Faucher came into the game and had a perfect ninth inning, allowing no baserunners and striking out the side. This marks Faucher's fourth save of the season (in five opportunities). Coming out of the Marlins' bullpen, Faucher has been used in multiple roles and has been quite effective overall. In 49 games (49 2/3 IP), he has a 3.44 ERA, a 1.45 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts. Faucher is available in 85% of Yahoo! leagues, so he may be worth adding if you need saves down the stretch.

Adam Mazur Named International League Pitcher Of The Week

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Adam Mazur earned International League Pitcher of the Week honors for his performance this past week for the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Mazur pitched six shutout innings allowing just one hit with no walks and four strikeouts in his latest outing. Since joining Jacksonville, Mazur, the Marlins' No. 12 prospect, is 1-1 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in four starts. In 19 innings pitched with the Jumbo Shrimp, he has 15 strikeouts with just two walks. Mazur made eight starts for the Padres this season before he was traded to Miami. He pitched to a 7.49 ERA in the majors this season and could get another look with Miami when rosters expand in September.

Griffin Conine  • RF  •  Marlins

Griffin Conine Makes Major-League Debut

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Griffin Conine made his major-league debut Monday with the Marlins. Conine struck out in his lone at-bat in his first big-league contest. Conine, the son of former major-leaguer Jeff Conine, was a second-round pick by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2018 MLB draft out of Duke University. He's a career .244/.344/.485 hitter in the minor leagues in 585 games. This season in Triple-A Jacksonville, Conine hit .268/.350/.475 with 19 homers and 68 RBI. He will likely get more playing time moving forward, as the Marlins don't have much to play for down the stretch. He is not one of the Marlins' top 30 prospects but could get a good look the rest of the season.

Jonathan Bermudez Promoted To The Major Leagues

Miami Marlins starting pitching prospect Jonathan Bermudez is being promoted to the major league roster on Sunday afternoon. In a corresponding move, the Marlins transferred Dane Myers to the 60-day IL and optioned Emmanuel Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville. Bermudez spent most of the summer at Double-A and held a solid 2.53 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP across 74 innings of work. He then logged 23 2/3 innings at Triple-A to the tune of a 6.46 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP. The 28-year-old could be a candidate to see a handful of starts down the stretch as the Marlins have several starting pitchers on the injured list and might be worth a look in deeper NL-only formats.
