Tossing from 75 feet out The Marlins announced Monday that Meyer (elbow) has been cleared to play catch from 75 feet, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Meyer recently appears to have initiated a throwing program after spending the past few months navigating the early stages of his rehab from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent Aug. 9. The Marlins are still developing the 24-year-old right-hander as a starting pitcher, but if he avoids any setbacks while passing through the multiple checkpoints he still needs to clear in his rehab program, he likely won't be available as anything more than a multi-inning reliever in the event he returns from the 60-day injured list before season's end, which is far from a sure thing.

Placed on 60-day IL Meyer (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Meyer required Tommy John surgery last August and probably won't be ready for live action again until the closing weeks of the 2023 regular season.

Nearing return to throwing Meyer (elbow) said Wednesday he expects to begin a throwing program within the next few weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 23-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in August, so a return to throwing six months later would be an encouraging sign for his recovery timeline. Meyer still faces a lengthy rehab schedule to build back his arm strength, but a return late in the 2023 campaign appears possible, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Undergoes Tommy John surgery Meyer (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact With the procedure now behind him, Meyer will begin working his way back from the elbow injury he suffered in late July. It remains to be seen how long he will need to recover, but chances are he will miss most or all of the 2023 campaign.

Moved to 60-day IL Meyer (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Meyer needs Tommy John surgery, and it couldn't have come at a worse time in the calendar, as he may not be ready for game action until after the 2023 season. In the meantime, Trevor Rogers also landed on the shelf with backs spasms so Nick Neidert may be on his way up from Triple-A to join the Marlins' rotation.

Requires Tommy John surgery Meyer (elbow) underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a tear in his UCL which will require Tommy John surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyer exited his second major-league start Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, and the issue will ultimately force him to miss the rest of the 2022 season and most or all of next year. It's a significant blow for the highly-regarded prospect, who posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 58 innings over 12 starts at Triple-A Jacksonville this year prior to making his big-league debut in mid-July.

Heading to injured list Meyer was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a sprained right elbow, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 23-year-old exited Saturday's start with elbow discomfort during the first inning, and he'll now move to the IL after being diagnosed with a sprain. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but it wouldn't be surprising if Meyer is on the shelf beyond the 15-day minimum given it's an elbow issue.

Dealing with elbow discomfort Meyer left Saturday's start versus the Pirates with right elbow discomfort.

Impact After leaving the start against the Pirates in the first inning, it was deemed that Meyer was dealing with right elbow discomfort. The rookie was sidelined earlier this season with ulnar nerve irritation in the same elbow, making the news particularly troublesome for the right-hander. Meyer seems likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list in the coming days.

Exits start early Meyer exited Saturday's start against the Pirates in the first inning with an undisclosed injury, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyer retired the first two batters he faced in the outing, but left the contest after walking Ke'Bryan Hayes and signaling to the dugout. The rookie appears to have been dealing with soreness in his right arm and more information will likely be provided later in the evening. Zach Pop replaced him on the mound and Meyer can be considered day-to-day for now.

Remains in rotation Meyer is listed as the Marlins' scheduled starting pitcher for Saturday's game in Pittsburgh.

Impact The Marlins' decision not to immediately option Meyer to Triple-A Jacksonville following his MLB debut July 16 was a strong indication the right-hander would stick in the rotation coming out of the All-Star break, but now the matter is official. Though he'll get another start Saturday, Meyer may need to deliver better results to build some security in the rotation after he yielded five runs on seven hits -- including two home runs -- and one walk across 5.1 innings in a loss to the Phillies his last time out. Both Edward Cabrera (elbow) and Jesus Luzardo (forearm) are in the midst of rehab assignments and could displace Meyer from the rotation once either pitcher is activated, likely in early August.

Yields five runs in debut Meyer (0-1) took the loss against Philadelphia on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings He struck out five batters.

Impact Meyer was called up prior to the game to make his big-league debut. The 23-year-old navigated through three scoreless frames before serving up a two-run homer to J.T. Realmuto in the fourth inning. He gave up a solo shot to Rhys Hoskins in the sixth, then watched from the dugout as two more runs were charged to his ledger. Despite the rough debut, Meyer is expected to get additional turns in the rotation following the All-Star break.

Contract officially selected Meyer's contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Saturday's start against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Meyer is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and will make his major-league debut Saturday after he posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 58 innings over 12 starts in Jacksonville to begin the year. It wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander make at least one more turn through the rotation following Saturday's start, particularly if Edward Cabrera (elbow) is unable to return shortly after the All-Star break.
