Tanner Scott - Notches sixth save Scott earned a save after recording two strikeouts during the ninth inning of Tuesday's win over the Rockies. He walked one batter and didn't allow a hit.
Impact The left-hander has now issued four walks over his past three appearances, but he had no other issues Tuesday while protecting a one-run lead. Scott has taken ahold of the closer role in June and is 5-for-6 in save opportunities with a 3.12 ERA and 15:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings, though his 4.67 ERA for the campaign diminishes his longer-term prospects.

Daniel Castano - Short outing in no-decision Castano allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks across 3.1 innings during Tuesday's 9-8 win over Colorado. He had three strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
Impact Castano threw only 44 of his 70 pitches for strikes and exited during the top of the fourth inning with the Marlins trailing 4-0, but the offense rallied for five runs in the bottom of the frame to take him off the hook for the loss. The left-hander delivered 6.2 scoreless innings during his first start of the season last week, and he'll likely remain in Miami's rotation for at least another turn since Edward Cabrera (elbow) and Cody Poteet (elbow) remain on the injured list.

Ryan Lavarnway - Traded to Miami Lavarnway was acquired by the Marlins from the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Lavarnway missed out on Detroit's Opening Day roster and will now join Miami, where he appeared in five major-league games during 2020. The 34-year-old should provide catching depth at the Triple-A level, where he has a .281/.385/.459 slash line in 44 games this year.

Billy Hamilton - Latches on with Miami Hamilton agreed to a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Hamilton opted out of his minor-league deal with the Mariners at the start of June, and he'll now receive a look with the Marlins. The 31-year-old struggled offensively in 22 games at the Triple-A level this season with a .186/.263/.209 slash line, five RBI and four steals. He'll provide veteran outfield depth in the minors for Miami.

Lewin Díaz - Sent to Triple-A Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Impact Jesus Aguilar (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, so Diaz will return to the minors after spending the past few days in Miami. The 25-year-old appeared in three games during his brief time in the majors and went 1-for-10 with a double, a run and five strikeouts.

Jerar Encarnación - Returns to minors Encarnacion was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Impact The 24-year-old went 1-for-8 with a grand slam, a stolen base and an additional run scored across his first two big-league games, but he'll return to the minors with Jesus Sanchez (illness) activated from the COVID-19 injured list. Encarnacion has a .260/.336/.442 slash line in 26 games since being promoted to Jacksonville in mid-May, and he should remain in the mix for a return to the Marlins whenever outfield depth is needed.

Jacob Stallings - Receives Tuesday off Stalling is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Stalling started the past two games and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Nick Fortes will work behind the plate and bat ninth.

Bryan De La Cruz - Reverts to reserve role De La Cruz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 25-year-old started the past four games in center field with Jesus Sanchez (illness) on the COVID-19 IL, but Sanchez was reinstated Tuesday and is back in the starting nine for Miami. De La Cruz will return to his role as the Marlins' No. 4 outfielder, though he should receive some starts against left-handed pitching.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Steps out of lineup Chisholm is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Chisholm will step out of the lineup after starting the past eight games, a stretch during which he went 4-for-28 with 12 strikeouts and six walks. Jon Berti will slide over to the keystone while Willians Astudillo starts at third base.

Jesús Sánchez - Back from COVID-19 IL Sanchez (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and is starting in center field and batting sixth Tuesday versus the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports...
Impact The 24-year-old was sidelined the past four games while on the COVID-19 IL, but he cleared the league's protocols and will rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's contest. Sanchez struggled in the eight games preceding his absence with a .444 OPS.

Jesús Aguilar - Activated, starting Tuesday Aguilar (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and will bat cleanup as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Aguilar has been unavailable since landing on the COVID-19 IL on Friday, but he'll rejoin the active roster, and the lineup, after missing only four games. The 31-year-old has a .241/.254/.483 slash line with three home runs, five doubles, 11 RBI and seven runs through 14 contests in June.

Payton Henry - Gets thumb surgery Henry recently underwent surgery on his right thumb and is out indefinitely, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Henry opened the season as the Marlins' No. 2 catcher before he was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on May 26, when Miami elected to replace him with Nick Fortes. He made only six appearances for Jacksonville before he was placed on the affiliate's 7-day injured list June 9 with the thumb injury, which he wasn't able to treat with rest and rehab. Expect Henry to be sidelined for at least a month after requiring the procedure for the thumb on his throwing hand.

Cody Poteet - Completes side session Poteet (elbow) tossed a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Marlins will likely check back in with Poteet on Wednesday before determining whether he needs another bullpen session or if he's ready to resume facing hitters in live batting practice. Poteet made two turns through the rotation as Miami's fifth starter before being placed on the 15-day injured list May 29 with a right elbow muscle injury.

Jordan Holloway - Set for third rehab appearance Holloway (undisclosed) is scheduled to make another rehab appearance for Single-A Jupiter on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The outing will be his second in a row at Jupiter and the third overall for his rehab assignment, which began June 14 with the Marlins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. In his first start for Jupiter last Saturday, Holloway tossed two scoreless frames while allowing one hit and issuing two walks. He'll likely be in store for another multi-inning appearance Wednesday.

Joey Wendle - Rehab assignment coming soon Wendle (hamstring) is on track to begin a minor-league rehab assignment later this weekend, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact In addition to Wendle, Brian Anderson (back) is also likely to begin playing in rehab games in the days to come, but neither player should be expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list for the Marlins' weekend series with the Mets. When both have been healthy this season, Wendle and Anderson have formed a platoon at third base, but it's unclear if manager Don Mattingly will stick with that arrangement once the two players are activated. Jon Berti has been a revelation as the Marlins' everyday third baseman thus far in June and has been a godsend for fantasy managers by hitting .300 while going 14-for-14 on stolen-base attempts through 18 games this month.

Brian Anderson - Should begin rehab assignment soon Anderson (back) is on track to begin a minor-league rehab assignment later this weekend, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact If cleared to report to a minor-league affiliate, Anderson could need multiple games to regain his timing at the plate, so the Marlins aren't likely to activate him for their weekend series versus the Mets. Anderson has been on the shelf since June 1 with a mild disc bulge in his lumbar spine.

Sixto Sánchez - Side session planned Sanchez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a 20-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The activity represents another incremental step forward for Sanchez, who was recently cleared to play catch off a mound but hadn't thrown any pitches. He'll likely need to complete several bullpen sessions featuring his full arsenal before the Marlins allow him to face hitters in live batting practice. Given the multiple hurdles Sanchez still has to clear in his recovery from shoulder surgery, he may not be cleared to pitch in 2022, even at the minor-league level.

Max Meyer - Set to rejoin Jacksonville rotation Meyer (elbow) will be activated from Triple-A Jacksonville's 7-day injured Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Meyer is scheduled to pitch for Jacksonville on Wednesday for the first time since May 17, but it's unclear if he'll start or work out of the bullpen. Edward Cabrera (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance for Jacksonville on Wednesday, and the Marlins could elect to have Cabrera pitch ahead of Meyer to better manage his workload. In any case, Meyer looks to be healthy again after a month-long shutdown due to a sore right elbow. The 23-year-old was sharp during his lone rehab start for Single-A Jupiter on July 17, striking out four while allowing one earned run on one hit and no walks over three innings.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Edward Cabrera - Cleared for rehab start Cabrera (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Wednesday for Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cabrera will take the mound 10 days after making his last start with the Marlins and subsequently being placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow tightness. In light of his quick return to game action, Cabrera may need only one rehab start before getting the green light to rejoin the Miami rotation as soon as next week's series in St. Louis. Braxton Garrett or Daniel Castano will lose out on a rotation spot once Cabrera is formally reinstated from the IL.
