Rehab assignment on tap Acosta (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Impact Acosta landed on the injured list ahead of Opening Day due to a left oblique strain, but he now appears to be nearing a return. The 23-year-old infielder slashed .229/.318/.377 across 466 plate appearances with Jacksonville last season and will likely return to the minors once he's activated.

Sidelined with oblique strain The Marlins placed Acosta (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Acosta will be shelved for at least the first couple weeks of the season with a left oblique strain. He could be assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville rather than the major-league club once he's healthy and completes a rehab assignment.

Will miss time with oblique strain The Marlins announced Sunday that Acosta has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left oblique strain and is expected to be out for 3-to-4 weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acosta already looked to be facing an uphill battle to make the Marlins' Opening Day roster, and the injury he suffered last week will bring an end to any chance he had at breaking camp with the big club. Once he heals up from the oblique strain and resumes full baseball activities, the 23-year-old infielder will report to a minor-league affiliate for a rehab assignment. Acosta has two options remaining, so he could end up sticking around at Triple-A Jacksonville once he completes the rehab assignment and gets activated from the injured list.

Sidelined with oblique discomfort The Marlins scratched Acosta from the lineup for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros due to left oblique discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acosta will likely be put through further testing as the Marlins look to determine the severity of his oblique issue, but even a mild strain at this point in spring training could be enough to remove the young infielder from contention for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old reached the majors for the first time in 2025, slashing .204/.295/.389 with three home runs and one stolen base across 61 plate appearances with Miami.

Demoted to Triple-A Acosta was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

Impact Acosta was part of the slew of moves Monday by Miami, as the club activated Connor Norby (quadriceps), Graham Pauley (oblique) and Dane Myers (oblique) from the injured list and needed to make room on the active roster. Acosta hit .233 with one double, two RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in 10 games during his latest stint in the big leagues.

Drawing fourth straight start Acosta will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Acosta will be included in the lineup for the fourth straight game and will occupy third base for the second consecutive contest after being recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. With Connor Norby (quadriceps) recently joining Graham Pauley (oblique) on the shelf, Acosta looks like he'll get the chance to serve as the Marlins' primary third baseman until the team reclaims some health. Through his first 37 big-league plate appearances, Acosta is slashing .206/.270/.500 with three home runs, one double and four RBI.

Coming back in majors The Marlins will recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville before Friday's contest against the Phillies, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

The 22-year-old Acosta went went just 4-for-24 during his nine games with the big club, though three of those hits left the ballpark. Acosta has slashed .229/.315/.377 with 13 homers and 31 steals this season with Jacksonville.

Pops game-winning homer Acosta went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win over Atlanta.

Impact Getting the start at third base and batting ninth, the rookie infielder homered off Pierce Johnson in the eighth inning for what proved to be the game-winning run. Acosta has just three hits in his first 18 big-league at-bats, but all three have left the yard for solo shots. The 22-year-old seems likely to lose his spot on the roster once Connor Norby (wrist) is cleared to come off the IL, although the Marlins could delay that move until Sept. 1 in order to keep Acosta in the majors and take a longer look at him, as the team shifts its focus from a long-shot wild-card bid to 2026.

Back on bench in Lopez's return Acosta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact After getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Acosta proceeded to start five consecutive games across three different spots in the infield and went 2-for-15 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk. Acosta projects to fill more of a utility role moving forward, as he was the beneficiary of starting shortstop Otto Lopez missing the previous three games due to an illness before Lopez was cleared to rejoin the lineup Sunday.

Goes yard in second straight game Acosta went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth as a late replacement for Otto Lopez (illness), Acosta took Yariel Rodriguez deep in the eighth inning. It was the second straight game with a homer for the 22-year-old infielder, with the two longs balls accounting for his only hits in 14 plate appearances over his first four MLB contests. Lopez isn't like to miss much more time, but Acosta is beginning to make a case for more playing time over the final weeks of the season.

Records first MLB hit with homer Acosta went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals.

Impact The 22-year-old infielder collected his first career MLB hit and home run, launching a 418-foot shot off Andre Pallante in the sixth inning that chased the right-hander from the contest. The milestone blast came in Acosta's third major-league game. He showed flashes of his upside in the minors this season, tallying 13 homers and 28 steals over 106 games in Jacksonville. While his role with Miami remains limited for now, his power-speed profile could offer intriguing fantasy value if he earns consistent playing time.

Hitless in MLB debut Acosta went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The one-time Rangers prospect showed plenty of nerves in his big-league debut, as he also committed an error at second base, but Acosta has done well just to get this far after undergoing thoracic outlet surgery in 2021 that derailed his development. The 22-year-old was hitting just .236 at Triple-A Jacksonville prior to his promotion, but 13 homers and 28 steals in 106 games highlights his fantasy potential should he ever earn a full-time role in the majors. For now, he'll offer the Marlins infield depth while Javier Sanoja covers third base in place of Graham Pauley (oblique) and Connor Norby (wrist).

AUGUST 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Receives first MLB call-up The Marlins recalled Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Impact Acosta will join the Marlins' 26-man active roster as a replacement for third baseman Graham Pauley (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though Pauley's absence creates an opening at the hot corner, Acosta won't necessarily be in the mix for steady playing time with Miami, as he's been used exclusively at the middle-infield positions throughout his minor-league career. Acosta batted just .236 with a 10.6 percent walk rate and 26.5 percent strikeout rate over 431 plate appearances for Jacksonville this season, but he showcased a fantasy-friendly skill set with 13 home runs and 28 steals (in 35 attempts).

AUGUST 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to join major-league roster Acosta is expected to be called up by the Marlins on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acosta appears to be set to join the major-league roster for the first time in his career. The infielder has posted a .232 average with 12 home runs, 49 RBI, 52 runs scored and 28 stolen bases over 380 at-bats in 106 games with Triple-A Jacksonville this season. Graham Pauley (side) was dealing with side discomfort Sunday and it's possible that Acosta could replace him on the 26-man roster if Pauley requires a stint on the injured list.
