Garrett Cooper - 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.

Anthony Bender - Records second save Bender allowed two hits but threw a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Phillies.
Impact Bender was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning. He allowed a leadoff single, but then induced a double-play from the next batter he faced. After allowing a second knock, Bender got Bryce Harper to fly out to end the game. Bender has allowed two earned runs across 3.1 frames to begin the season, but he has also also tallied two saves and is the team's clear closer for the time being.

Sandy Alcantara - Shuts down Phillies Alcantara (1-0) allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across 6.1 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Phillies.
Impact Alcantara allowed consecutive hits to begin the game -- which resulted in a run crossing the plate -- but he settled in from there to earn his first win of the season. Alcantara had the Philadelphia lineup guessing throughout his start, as he earned 19 swinging strikes across 95 total pitches. After walking five batters in his first start of the season, Alcantara also showed significantly improved control in his outing Thursday. He currently lines up to make his third start of the campaign Wednesday against St. Louis.

Edward Cabrera - Completes bullpen session Cabrera (biceps) tossed a 20-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Cabrera currently resides on the 7-day injured list of Low-A Jupiter, but his assignment to the low-level affiliate is likely just related to the Marlins' spring facility being located in Jupiter. The Marlins may have Cabrera make a rehab start at Jupiter once he's deemed ready for game action, though the 24-year-old is eventually expected to settle into the rotation at Triple-A Jacksonville once activated from the IL. Cabrera finished the 2021 campaign in the big-league rotation and should be one of the top candidates for a promotion if the Marlins should lose a starting pitcher at any point this season.

Brian Anderson - Retreats to bench Anderson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Anderson was included in the lineup in each of the Marlins' previous four games, going a collective 2-for-14 at the plate while drawing three starts in right field and one at third base. Avisail Garcia missed the past two games with a back issue has returned to the lineup Thursday, meaning Anderson's run as an everyday player is likely over. Anderson should still play regularly against left-handed pitching and make an occasional start against right-handed pitching when manager Don Mattingly wants to extend rest to one of the team's regulars.

Avisaíl García - Returns to lineup Garcia (back) is starting Thursday's game against the Phillies, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact Garcia dealt with a back issue that kept him off the field for each of the last two games, but he'll return to action for Thursday's home opener. The 30-year-old went 2-for-13 with three strikeouts in his first three appearances of the season.

Anthony Bender - Stuck with loss Tuesday Bender (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as the Marlins were downed 4-3 by the Angels, giving up one run on one walk in one-third of an inning.
Impact It was a tough way to lose a game. With the score tied 3-3 to begin the bottom of the ninth inning, Bender issued a one-out walk to Jack Mayfield, only for pinch runner Tyler Wade to steal second, move over to third on a wild pitch, then come home on a grounder that shortstop Miguel Rojas bobbled slightly. Bender is getting the opportunity to show he can be the Marlins' ninth-inning man while Dylan Floro (shoulder) is on the shelf, but so far he hasn't looked great, posting a 7.71 ERA and 1:1 K:BB through 2.1 innings over three appearances and converting only one of two save chances.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Launches second homer Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.
Impact The 24-year-old tied the game up at 3-3 in the top of the seventh inning, hooking a Mike Mayers offering down the right-field line for his second homer of the season. Chisholm is currently hitting ninth in manager Don Mattingly's usual lineup, but his .308/.333/.846 line through his first four games should encourage Mattingly to bump him up to a more prominent spot in the order.

Jesus Luzardo - Fans career-high 12 in no-decision Luzardo didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over five innings while striking out a career-high 12.
Impact The southpaw picked up right where he left off after an impressive spring training, popping 99.2 mph with his second pitch of the game and effectively mixing in his curve, sinker and changeup. Luzardo has struggled to turn his potential into production over the last couple seasons, but the early returns in 2022 suggest the 24-year-old is ready to break out. Luzardo is next scheduled to take the mound Tuesday, at home against the Cardinals.
