Impact The 24-year-old fanned 12 and gave up only one run over five innings during his season debut, but the Cardinals had four extra-base hits and had no issues reaching base against him Tuesday.

Edward Cabrera - Returning to action Thursday Cabrera (biceps) will be activated from the 7-day injured list Thursday to make a start for Low-A Jupiter in the affiliate's game against St. Lucie, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com...

Impact The Marlins optioned Cabrera to Low-A coming out of spring training so he could conduct his rehab program for his biceps injury at the team's facility, which is also located in Jupiter. As a result, Cabrera's outing Thursday won't be considered a rehab assignment, even though he's eventually expected to move into the rotation at Triple-A Jacksonville. Cabrera ended up making seven late-season starts for the Marlins in 2021, and once he's fully ramped up at Triple-A, he'll likely profile as the next man up to step into the big-league rotation if the Marlins require another starter.

José Devers - Throwing and hitting again Devers (shoulder) has been throwing at 90 feet and taking live batting practice at extended spring training in recent days, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Devers is gradually upping his throwing distance and increasing his baseball activities, but he still doesn't appear to be particularly close to beginning a minor-league rehab assignment. Once he's cleared for game action, Devers will likely use nearly all of his 20-day rehab window in the minors, considering that he missed all of spring training and most of the second half of the 2021 season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Dylan Floro - Faces hitters Floro (shoulder) threw a 16-pitch simulated game Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Floro is scheduled to throw another simulated game at extended spring training Wednesday. If all goes well, the 31-year-old could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment and potentially return from the 10-day injured list before the end of the month. Before developing tendinitis in his right shoulder, Floro was viewed as a potential closing candidate, but the Marlins may prefer to ease him back in as a setup man once healthy. Anthony Bender has served as the Marlins' primary closer thus far, recording two saves in three chances and giving up two runs over 3.1 innings.

Brian Anderson - Rewarded with third straight start Anderson will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After filling in as the Marlins' left fielder in Sunday's win over the Phillies while Garrett Cooper (elbow) was out, Anderson will stay in the outfield for the second straight game, as Cooper is playing first base while Jorge Soler takes a seat. Anderson is getting his third consecutive start overall, after going 4-for-6 with a double, two walks and three runs between the previous two contests. Though he doesn't possess an everyday gig at any position, Anderson's ability to play the two corner-infield and corner-outfield spots should be enough for him to earn a handful for starts per week.

Jorge Soler - Day off Tuesday Soler will hit the bench Tuesday against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Soler sits after starting each of the season's first nine games. He's yet to really get going, slashing .167/.286/.278 while homering just once. Brian Anderson will start in left field Tuesday.

Garrett Cooper - Returns to lineup Cooper (elbow) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, batting second and playing first base, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cooper left Saturday's game against the Phillies with a bruised elbow after colliding with Jon Berti on an unsuccessful rundown attempt. He didn't play in Sunday's series finale, though that was seemingly precautionary, as he reportedly felt fine. He's fully ready to go following Monday's scheduled off day.

Miguel Rojas - Drives in two Sunday Rojas went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Impact The veteran shortstop has had a sluggish start to the year at the plate but seems to be coming around. going 4-for-12 over the last three games with his first two RBI of 2022. Rojas is valued as a clubhouse presence by the Marlins, but he's not without fantasy utility after delivering nine homers and 13 steals over 132 games last season.

Bryan De La Cruz - On base three times Sunday De la Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Impact The 25-year-old has started three of the last five games, going 3-for-9 with four walks. De La Cruz is still looking for his first extra-base hit of the year, but if he keeps getting on base he should see semi-consistent playing time on manager Don Mattingly's lineup cards, giving him some deep-league fantasy value.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Two extra-base hits, three RBI Chisholm went 2-for-4 with a double, triple, three RBI and a run scored in an 11-3 win Sunday over the Phillies.

Impact Chisholm had a RBI triple in the second, a RBI double in the sixth and a sacrifice fly in the seventh as Miami finished the sweep of the Phillies. The 24-year-old now has six extra-base hits on the season and leads the Marlins with 10 RBI and a 1.234 OPS.

Jesús Sánchez - Three hits and two RBI Sanchez went 3-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in an 11-3 win Sunday over Philadelphia.

Impact Sanchez had RBI singles in the second and eighth and singled and scored in the fourth. The center fielder batted second in the Miami lineup and recorded a multi-hit game for the fifth time in the last six games, hitting .407 in that span. The 24-year-old is off to an impressive start to the season and has hit for both power and average.

Elieser Hernandez - Superb in win Hernandez (1-1) earned the win and struck out five in six innings, allowing one run on five hits and a walk in an 11-3 win Sunday over Philadelphia.

Impact The lone run scored against Hernandez was a fifth-inning homer by Bryce Harper. Otherwise, he scattered four singles, a walk and a hit batsman and stayed out of trouble. After a rough first start, the 27-year-old regained his command and held the Phillies' lineup in check. His next scheduled start is Saturday in Atlanta.

Avisaíl García - Idle Sunday Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Garcia is likely just getting some extra maintenance after starting in right field each of the past three days following a recent two-game absence due to a back injury. Bryan De La Cruz will enter the outfield Sunday as a replacement for Garcia, who will effectively get two days to rest up with the Marlins' next game not coming until Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

APRIL 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Berti - Back on bench Berti is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Berti made his third start in the Marlins' eight games this season in Saturday's 10-3 loss, going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored. The speedy 32-year-old is expected to continue working in a utility role for Miami this season, with most of his starting opportunities coming when the Marlins want to rest one of their two lefty-hitting everyday infielders -- Jazz Chisholm and Joey Wendle -- against a lefty starting pitcher.
