Alcantara gets rare complete game as Marlins avoid sweep against BravesIt was Sandy Alcantara's fourth career complete game in 87 starts in the majors.
Richard Bleier - Kicks off rehab assignmentBleier (illness) struck out two and allowed two hits and no walks across 1.1 scoreless innings Sunday in his rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville.
ImpactThe appearance in the minors was Bleier's first at any level since he was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list May 8 after testing positive for the virus. The Marlins will likely check back in with Bleier and see how he feels physically following the 19-pitch outing before deciding whether he's fit to return from the IL in advance of the club's two-game series in Tampa that begins Tuesday.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Exits with tight hammyChisholm was removed in the top of the third inning of Sunday's game against Atlanta due to left hamstring tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactThe injury is to the same leg that Chisholm had spiked by Atlanta's Ozzie Albies in Saturday's 4-3 loss, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Chisholm wasn't forced to exit that game early and was cleared to start Sunday after medical tests revealed nothing concerning, but the 24-year-old still appeared to be moving about gingerly when he was running the bases earlier in the series finale. Joe Dunand came off the bench to replace Chisholm, who walked and scored a run in his lone plate appearance of the day. He should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener at Tampa Bay.

Joe Dunand - Called up from Triple-AThe Marlins recalled Dunand from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ImpactJazz Chisholm has been cleared to start at second base Sunday after he was spiked in the left leg in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta, but Miguel Rojas (calf) will be on the bench for the series finale. As a result, the Marlins were motivated to bring up some extra infield depth in the form of Dunand, who is back in the big leagues for the second time this month. Unless Rojas' calf issue forces him to the injured list, Dunand should be in line for a brief stint with the Marlins.

Daniel Castano - Moves back to minorsThe Marlins optioned Castano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ImpactCastano would have been available out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale with Atlanta after having not pitched since Wednesday, but the Marlins decided to send him out to the minors in favor of Joe Dunand, who was recalled from Jacksonville to provide some depth in the infield while Miguel Rojas (calf) is on the bench. Expect Castano to slot back into the Jacksonville rotation upon returning to the Triple-A affiliate.
