Won't start Sunday, but feels fine Cooper (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies but is expected to be available off the bench, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Cooper was pulled from Saturday's 10-3 loss after he sustained an elbow contusion while running the bases, but he took batting practice in the cage earlier Sunday and seemingly felt no worse for the wear. Though Cooper will be held out of the lineup for the series finale, he's likely just sitting as a precaution. If the Marlins had any concern about Cooper's elbow issue necessitating a stint on the 10-day injured list, the team likely would have called up first baseman Lewin Diaz from Triple-A Jacksonville. With an off day on tap Monday, expect Cooper to make his return to the lineup for Tuesday's series opener versus the Cardinals.

Removed from Saturday's game Cooper was removed from Saturday's game against the Phillies due to an elbow contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

On base three times Friday Cooper went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact Every Marlins starter collected at least one hit on the night, but Cooper led the charge from the second slot in the batting order. The 31-year-old is splitting his time between designated hitter and first base and providing his usual solid offense, slashing .280/.379/.440 through seven games with a homer, two RBI and three runs.

Smacks first homer Cooper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the Phillies.
Impact Cooper took Kyle Gibson yard in the fourth inning to knot the game at one. It was Cooper's first extra-base hit of the season, and he entered Thursday's game having collected only four knocks across his first 19 plate appearances. Despite the early struggles, Cooper has been a fixture in the Miami lineup while hitting either second or third in the order.

Late lineup addition Cooper (wrist) will bat third as the Marlins' designated hitter Monday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Cooper suffered a left wrist contusion Sunday and was originally absent from Monday's lineup, but he'll instead have a prime spot in Miami's order. Avisail Garcia will take a seat on the bench with Cooper joining the starting nine.

Not starting Monday Cooper (wrist) will sit Monday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Cooper was hit in the left wrist by a pitch Sunday against San Francisco and was forced to leave the game. His X-rays came back negative, but he'll sit for at least one day. Jesus Aguilar will be the first baseman Monday, with Avisail Garcia resting his legs as the designated hitter.

Sustains left wrist contusion Cooper was removed from Sunday's game against the Giants in the top of the fourth inning due to a left wrist contusion, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Cooper exited Sunday's matchup after being hit by a pitch, but he underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative. Prior to his departure, he went 1-for-2 with an RBI. Since initial test results have been encouraging, he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's game against the Angels.

Soler makes Marlins debut, gets 2 hits in 1st inning vs Matz

Gets $2.5 million Cooper signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact The agreement means the two sides won't have to meet in front of an arbiter. Cooper hit a strong .284/.380/.465 last season in 250 plate appearances but again faces questions about his playing time after the Marlins brought in Jorge Soler as their primary designated hitter.

Set to lose playing time Cooper looks likely to lose playing time after the Marlins reported signing of Jorge Soler.
Impact Cooper looked like a lineup regular a day ago, but with the addition of Soler the veteran has been pushed down the depth chart. Cooper now becomes part of a crowded Miami bench where he will compete for at bats throughout the year.

Could be lineup regular in 2022 Cooper is expected to have a regular spot in the Marlins lineup this season, splitting time between first base and DH, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.
Impact Last season, the National League didn't feature the DH, and as a result Cooper ended up seeing significant action in right field as manager Don Mattingly attempted to get his bat into the lineup. That experiment ended in July when he injured his left (non-throwing) elbow and was shut down for the season, but Cooper is healthy to begin spring training, and with the DH available again his defensive duties will be far more limited in 2022. The 31-year-old has a career .282/.354/.453 slash line through 887 plate appearances in the majors, and he could have surprising fantasy value with consistent playing time.
