Lewis Brinson blasts two home runs, Sandy Alcantara gets big rebound in San Diego as Marlins avoid winless road trip Brinson, who went 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs, had the third multihomer game of his career and first since 2018.
Plates two runs in loss Brinson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's loss against the Padres.
Impact Brinson crossed home plate in the second inning following an RBI single from Magneuris Sierra, but he made his presence felt in the top of the eighth with a two-run shot that made it a one-run game. Brinson, who now has five homers on the season, is hitting .268 with a .774 OPS. Brinson, who has been one of the best hitters in an anemic Marlins offense all season long, has registered three multi-hit performances in a row. He's also hitting an impressive .364 with two homers and 11 RBI across nine games this month.

Stays hot in losing effort Brinson went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two RBI in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Brinson turned in a big weekend in Colorado, recording five hits and drawing two walks across three games. With all of Corey Dickerson, Adam Duvall and Starling Marte shipped out ahead of the trade deadline and with Jesus Sanchez (COVID-19) and Jon Berti (concussion) residing on the injured list, Brinson should have a fairly clear path to everyday playing time in the Miami outfield. He's started in each of the Marlins' last nine contests.

Brinson is batting .381 (8-for-21) over that stretch with seven RBI and five runs.

Brinson has now started eight straight games -- five in left field and three in center.

Socks grand slam in win Brinson went 2-for-4 with a home run, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Mets.
Impact The 27-year-old launched a grand slam off Tylor Megill in the first inning, putting the game out of reach when it had just begun. Brinson has been moderately productive since being promoted after the All-Star break, slashing .257/.316/.514 with two homers and eight RBI through 13 games, and with Starling Marte and Adam Duvall gone, he figures to see consistent playing time down the stretch.

Recalled and starting Brinson was recalled by the Marlins on Monday and will bat seventh and play left field against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Brinson has shown no signs of breaking out in 69 plate appearances at the big-league level this season, hitting just .221/.232/.353 with 21 strikeouts and a single walk. He could get some more opportunities in left field in the near future due to the absence of both Jesus Sanchez (undisclosed) and Garrett Cooper (elbow), but it's difficult to envision him providing much fantasy value.

Sent back down Brinson was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Brinson was called up by Miami on Tuesday and went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in two appearances with the big-league club. He'll now head back to Triple-A after Miguel Rojas (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Impact The 27-year-old will continue being shuttled between the majors and Triple-A, and he'll rejoin the Marlins on Tuesday with Corey Dickerson (foot) landing on the injured list. Brinson is likely to season occasional chances as a depth outfielder, since Jesus Sanchez was also promoted and seems a likelier bets to fill Dickerson's role.

Moves back to minors The Marlins optioned Brinson to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact After being called up from Jacksonville on Friday, Brinson appeared in two of the Marlins' three games against the Pirates over the weekend, going 1-for-5.

He'll remain with Triple-A Jacksonville but could return to the major-league club as outfield depth at some point.

Impact The 27-year-old landed on the injured list May 18 with a sprained left middle finger, and he's now entered the final stages of his rehab work. Brinson figures to require only a few games in the minors to get back up to speed given the brevity of his absence.

Moved to IL The Marlins placed Brinson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to an unspecified issue.
Impact Miami may provide a more detailed explanation behind Brinson's placement on the IL in the coming days, but the lack of an injury designation could mean that the outfielder is sidelined due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Magneuris Sierra will pick up his sixth straight start in center field Tuesday in Philadelphia while Brinson is unavailable, according to Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.

Impact Brinson took Milwaukee reliever J.P. Feyereisen deep for a game-tying solo home run in the seventh inning. That was the extent of Miami's run production Sunday. Brinson has a .240/.255/.400 slash line after his first three-hit game of the season. He's added two home runs, five RBI, three runs scored and no stolen bases in 51 plate appearances. The 27-year-old should have a near-everyday role while Starling Marte (ribs) continues to recover.
