Mashes seventh homer Cooper went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over Atlanta.
Impact His sixth-inning solo shot off Kyle Muller proved to be the game-winning hit. Cooper has two of his seven homers on the year in seven games since returning from a lumbar strain, a stretch during which he's gone 10-for-19 (.526) with two doubles, six walks, six runs and six RBI in addition to the long balls.

Three hits in win Cooper went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Phillies.
Impact Getting the start at first base and hitting third, Cooper was one of five Marlins on the night to deliver a multi-hit performance. The 30-year-old has started three of five games since coming off the IL, going 7-for-13 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI and five runs, but despite his hot streak Cooper will likely continue splitting reps at first base with Jesus Aguilar as there seems to be little room for him in the Miami outfield with Jesus Sanchez getting a long look.

Impressive in return Cooper went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles, three additional runs scored and a walk in Friday's win over Washington.
Impact Cooper returned from the 10-day injured list and made his presence felt right away, as all of his three hits were extra-base knocks and was one of the best players in a game where the Marlins recorded 11 runs and 11 hits across 36 at-bats. The first baseman also ended a 12-game homer drought with his two-run shot in the eighth inning.

Reinstated, starting Friday Cooper (back) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at first base Friday against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 30-year-old has been sidelined nearly three weeks due to a lumbar strain, but he'll rejoin the Marlins after appearing in a pair of rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. Cooper should see semi-regular starts between first base and the corner outfield spots, and he could have an expanded role in left field while Corey Dickerson (foot) remains sidelined.

Rehab assignment begins Wednesday Cooper (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cooper has been sidelined since June 9 due to a lumbar strain, but he began hitting off a tee Friday and will now return to game action. It's not yet clear how many rehab games the 30-year-old could require, but his time with Triple-A Jacksonville will likely be the final step in his recovery process. Cooper served as a short-side platoon option prior to his absence, but he could see a slight uptick in at-bats once he's cleared to return since Corey Dickerson (foot) is on the injured list.

Should begin rehab assignment soon Cooper (back) is expected to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment later this week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Marlins will presumably have Cooper head to Triple-A Jacksonville for the weekend to regain his timing at the plate after he was placed on the injured list June 9 with a lumbar strain. Before getting hurt, Cooper had been serving as a short-side platoon option at first base or in the corner outfield, but he could have a clearer path to regular at-bats once he returns from the IL. Corey Dickerson has since been placed on the IL with a foot injury that will likely keep him on the shelf until after the All-Star break, leaving Jesus Sanchez as the top option in left field for the time being.

Cleared to hit Cooper (back) started a throwing program and began hitting off a tee Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cooper has been cleared to resume baseball activities after he was placed on the 10-day injured list June 9 with a lumbar strain. The Marlins may want to see Cooper complete a brief minor-league rehab assignment before activating him from the IL, so he could be challenged to rejoin the big club by the end of June.
