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.
