MIAMI MARLINS NEWS

Max Meyer - Leaves Tuesday's start Meyer exited his start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday with a calf cramps, freelance reporter David Fernandez reports.

Impact Meyer was dealing against Durham prior to suffering the injury, as he delivered five perfect frames to go along with eight strikeouts. The 23-year-old is Miami's top pitching prospect and shouldn't miss much time, if any, given the nature of the injury.

Edward Cabrera - Rehabbing in Jupiter Cabrera (biceps) is on the 7-day injured list at Low-A Jupiter and resumed a throwing progression Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact While Cabrera would likely be at Triple-A Jacksonville if he were fully healthy, general manager Kim Ng said it would be easier for him to be monitored by a number of the Marlins' different medical professionals if he were stationed in Jupiter. Cabrera also dealt with a biceps issue last spring.

Avisaíl García - Managing back issue Manager Don Mattingly said Garcia's back is feeling better, and the outfielder could be available to pinch hit Tuesday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald repo...

Impact Garcia was kept out of the lineup Monday and Tuesday due to the back issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious concern if the team is considering using him off the bench. Miami has a scheduled off day Wednesday, so the 30-year-old will have another day to rest up for the start of a four-game set Thursday versus Philadelphia.

Joey Wendle - Sits against southpaw Wendle will be on the bench Tuesday against lefty Patrick Sandoval and the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Through five games, Wendle has started against three righties and sat against two lefties. Jon Berti will handle the hot corner Tuesday.

APRIL 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jesús Aguilar - Not in Tuesday's lineup Aguilar will sit Tuesday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Aguilar and Garrett Cooper both started the first four games of the season, with one at first base and the other at designated hitter. Cooper will be the first baseman Tuesday, with Jorge Soler resting his legs as the designated hitter.

Avisaíl García - Remains sidelined Garcia (undisclosed) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Garcia was scratched from Monday's lineup for unspecified reasons and will miss at least one more game. The Marlins have an off day Wednesday, so he'll end up getting at least three days off from whatever's ailing him. Brian Anderson will get another start in right field.

Michael Lorenzen dials in for Angels debut in win over Marlins The Angels defeated the Miami Marlins 6-2 in O.C. native Michael Lorenzen's debut for the Halos on the mound on Monday at Angel Stadium.

Jesús Sánchez - Smacks two long balls Sanchez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in a 6-2 loss to the Angels on Monday.

Impact Miami's offense was silent aside from Sanchez, who homered in the fourth and ninth innings to account for both Marlin runs and two of the team's three hits. The 24-year-old now has multiple hits in consecutive games and is slashing .313/.353/.688 in 16 at-bats this season.

Elieser Hernandez - Surrenders four runs in loss Hernandez (0-1) was handed the loss during Monday's 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Angels, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Impact Hernandez dug himself into a hole early by serving up a Brandon Marsh three-run home run in the first and a Jo Adell solo shot in the second. He settled down thereafter, but the four-run deficit proved too high for the Marlin offense to overcome. The 26-year-old is slated to make another start this week on Sunday against Philadelphia.

Dylan Floro - Completes bullpen session Floro (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Floro has been sidelined by right rotator cuff tendinitis to begin the season and has been throwing bullpen sessions for the past couple weeks. The 31-year-old may need to face live hitters, likely in a simulated game or minor-league rehab assignment, before being activated from the injured list.

Garrett Cooper - Late lineup addition Cooper (wrist) will bat third as the Marlins' designated hitter Monday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cooper suffered a left wrist contusion Sunday and was originally absent from Monday's lineup, but he'll instead have a prime spot in Miami's order. Avisail Garcia will take a seat on the bench with Cooper joining the starting nine.

Avisaíl García - Late exclusion from lineup Garcia (undisclosed) was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Garcia was originally slated to bat cleanup as the designated hitter, but Garrett Cooper (wrist) will instead serve as Miami's designated hitter. There's been no announcement of an injury, so it could just be an early day off for Garcia, who is 2-for-13 through the first three games of the season.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Garrett Cooper - Not starting Monday Cooper (wrist) will sit Monday against the Angels, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cooper was hit in the left wrist by a pitch Sunday against San Francisco and was forced to leave the game. His X-rays came back negative, but he'll sit for at least one day. Jesus Aguilar will be the first baseman Monday, with Avisail Garcia resting his legs as the designated hitter.

Joey Wendle - Crosses plate twice Sunday Wendle went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Impact The veteran infielder accounted for both of Miami's runs on the afternoon while getting the start at shortstop and hitting sixth. Wendle is off to a quick start to his Marlins tenure, going 3-for-7 with a walk and three runs scored through two games.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jorge Soler - On base four times Sunday Soler went 3-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Impact Don Mattingly made the seemingly odd choice to put Soler in the leadoff spot to begin the season despite his power profile and mediocre .316 OBP last season, but so far the Marlins manager is looking like a genius. Through his first three games with Miami, Soler has reached base six times in 14 plate appearances, although the 30-year-old is still looking for his first extra-base hit, run or RBI.

APRIL 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kahlil Watson - Begins season with bang Watson homered for the second time in as many games Sunday for Low-A Jupiter in a win over Palm Beach.

Impact The 16th overall pick in the 2021 Draft got an aggressive assignment to full-season ball to begin the season despite not turning 19 until later this week, but it's Watson who is dominating older pitchers, not the other way around. He's 4-for-10 with two doubles and two homers through his first three games for the Hammerheads, and while his 1:5 BB:K is a sign that the hot streak could end quickly if he doesn't sharpen his plate discipline, it's hard to argue he shouldn't keep swinging given what's been happening when he makes contact. The Marlins appear to have landed a gem with Watson, but he still remains at least a couple years away from his big-league debut.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Drives in run Sunday Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a strikeout in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Giants.

Impact Chisholm got a day off Saturday and hit near the bottom of the order once again in Sunday's series finale, but he logged his second extra-base hit in as many games to begin the season. The 24-year-old displayed his combination of power and speed last year by hitting 18 homers while swiping 23 bases, and he's showcased plenty of power early in the 2022 season.

Trevor Rogers - Charged with loss in 2022 debut Rogers (0-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out three in five innings to take the loss in Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

Impact Rogers retired the side in the bottom of the first inning Sunday, but he allowed three runs between the second and third frames. Although he bounced back in each of the next two innings, the southpaw was charged with the loss in the low-scoring matchup. Rogers' performance was indicative of his 2021 results, when he posted a 2.64 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 133 innings but had a 7-8 record behind the Marlins' lackluster offense. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Phillies on Friday.
