Smacks second home run Bleday went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Bleday provided the only offense for the Marlins on Tuesday, taking a Zack Wheeler fastball deep to right field in the fourth inning for his second home run of the season. The rookie outfielder is now slashing just .218/.283/.382 in 16 games since being called up from Triple-A on July 22. While he generated a strong 124 wRC+ in 85 games at Triple-A this year, he was buoyed by a high HR/FB ratio of 18.9 percent, so it remains to be seen whether he will find success in the majors.

Bows out Tuesday Bleday is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Impact The rookie started the last nine games the Marlins played, but he went just 6-for-36 (.167) over that span, so he will get a day to clear his head. Bryan De La Cruz will get the start in center field Tuesday night.

Launches first big-league homer Bleday went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Reds.

Impact Despite the loss, Bleday provided an offensive highlight for the Marlins in the contest, belting his first big-league home run -- a 366-foot solo shot to right field in the fourth inning. The power shouldn't be surprising, as the 24-year-old cranked 19 homers over 85 games at the Triple-A level prior to his recent call-up. Bleday has gone 4-for-18 with three extra-base hits and a stolen base in addition to the homer over his first five big-league games.

Not in Saturday's lineup Bleday isn't starting Saturday against the Pirates, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Bleday's contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, and he'll likely be available to make his major-league debut off the bench if needed. The 24-year-old should have an opportunity to carve out at-bats in the outfield after Jorge Soler (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list, but Luke Williams is starting in left field and batting eighth Saturday.

Called up by Marlins Bleday's contract will be selected by the Marlins on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact It's not yet clear whether Bleday will join the Marlins in time for Saturday's matchup against the Pirates, but his major-league debut appears to be imminent. The 2019 first-round pick has showcased his power potential at Triple-A Jacksonville to begin the year, slashing .228/.365/.467 with 19 homers, 54 runs, 51 RBI and a steal over 85 games. Jorge Soler exited Friday's game against Pittsburgh due to back stiffness, and Bleday is a strong candidate to fill in as the left fielder if Soler is forced to miss additional time.
