MIAMI MARLINS 62-100 · 5TH IN NL EAST
62-100 · 5TH IN NL EAST
Anthony Bender - Battling hip soreness Bender didn't enter for Saturday's save opportunity due to hip soreness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The injury apparently cropped up during his last outing Wednesday against St. Louis, when he took the loss after giving up two runs on a hit with a strikeout and a walk over one inning. Bender is apparently feeling better, but the Marlins will remain cautious with his return. Tanner Scott picked up the save Saturday, as Miami's closing situation remains wide open with Dylan Floro (shoulder) still on the injured list. Bender has struggled early in the campaign and has an 8.31 ERA over 4.1 frames while converting two of three save chances.

Brian Anderson - Steps out of lineup Anderson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The 28-year-old started six of the past seven games (three at third base, three in the outfield), but he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Anderson has a .250/.429/.313 slash line with two doubles, an RBI, six runs and a stolen bases through 12 games and has seen regular playing time early on in 2022 despite operating in a utility role.

Miguel Rojas - Sitting again Sunday Rojas (illness) is not in the lineup Sunday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Rojas was scratched from Saturday's starting nine due to flu-like symptoms, and he'll sit for a second straight game Sunday. Joey Wendle will shift over to shortstop while Jon Berti starts at third base in the series finale.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Huge day in comeback win Chisholm went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, three runs scored, three RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 9-7 win over Atlanta.
Impact The 24-year-old took Ian Anderson deep to lead off the game, and Chisholm kept on terrorizing Atlanta's pitchers the rest of the day. He's slashing .325/.356/.800 through 12 games with four homers, three steals, nine runs and 15 RBI, and Chisholm's recent move to the top of the Miami batting order will become permanent if he keeps raking like this.

Tanner Scott - Collects first save as Marlin Scott struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his first save of the season in a 9-7 win over Atlanta.
Impact Anthony Bender hadn't pitched since Wednesday, but manager Don Mattingly didn't look his way after the Marlins took the lead in the top of the seventh inning, suggesting the closer role in Miami is wide open once again. Scott has pitched well to begin the season, posting a 12:2 K:BB through seven innings with a 2.57 ERA and 0.57 WHIP, but the southpaw could find himself in more of a high-leverage situational role rather than as the designated ninth-inning option once Dylan Floro (shoulder) comes off the IL.

Elieser Hernandez - Escapes with no-decision Saturday Hernandez didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-7 win over Atlanta, surrendering five runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- over 4.2 innings. He struck out f...
Impact The right-hander couldn't keep the ball in the yard, serving up homers to Ozzie Albies in the first inning, Alex Dickerson in the fourth and Austin Riley in the fifth, but the Marlins' offense was able to bail Hernandez out. He tossed 58 of 88 pitches before getting the hook, and while his 15:4 K:BB through 15.1 innings is solid, Hernandez has coughed up six homers through his first three starts to fuel his 5.87 ERA, a problem that has plagued him throughout his career.

Dylan Floro - Throws 23 pitches Floro (shoulder) threw 23 pitches in his rehab appearance with Low-A Jupiter on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact This was Floro's first rehab appearance. He retired the first two batters he faced prior to giving up a walk and an RBI double. Most importantly, there was no report of a setback, so Floro remains in line to make his season debut in the coming days. It's unclear whether he will serve as the Marlins' closer, though he should have a high-leverage role.

Miguel Rojas - Late scratch against Atlanta Rojas was scratched from Saturday's lineup against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Rojas was originally slated to start at shortstop and hit eighth, but he was scratched with flu-like symptoms. Joey Wendle shifted from third base to shortstop, while Jon Berti entered the lineup to play the hot corner.

Garrett Cooper - Not starting Saturday Cooper will sit Saturday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Cooper sits for just the second time this season. Jesus Aguilar starts at first base, with Avisail Garcia serving as the designated hitter.

Jacob Stallings - Not in lineup Stallings will sit Saturday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Stallings has handled a heavy workload behind the plate this season. Saturday's day off is just his third in the Marlins' first 14 games. Payton Henry will take over behind the plate.

Dylan Floro - Rehab assignment to begin Saturday Floro (shoulder) is expected to begin his rehab assignment at Low-A Jupiter on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Floro joined the Hammerheads on Friday but won't actually start pitching until Saturday. His return is being watched closely in light of Anthony Bender blowing a save Wednesday and raising his ERA to 8.31 over 4.1 innings.
APRIL 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Rogers - Gets no help in Friday's loss Rogers (0-3) took the loss Friday as the Marlins were blanked 3-0 by Atlanta, allowing one unearned run on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Impact The young southpaw put together his best start of the season so far, throwing 63 of 95 pitches for strikes, but the Miami offense couldn't get anything going against Kyle Wright. Rogers has not been able to match his 2021 level of performance yet, posting a 6.94 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 11.2 innings, but his 3.12 FIP suggests those numbers will correct themselves in time.

Dylan Floro - Cleared for rehab assignment Floro (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Jupiter on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Floro threw 16 pitches in a simulated game Sunday, and he'll be cleared for game action in the minors less than a week later. It's not yet clear how many rehab appearances he'll make, but the minor-league outings should be the final step in his recovery process. The right-hander was viewed as a closing candidate prior to sustaining his shoulder injury, but the Marlins could ease him into action as a setup man once he's able to rejoin the major-league club.
