MIAMI MARLINS NEWS

Nick Neidert - Designated for assignment Neidert was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Neidert was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, and he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after the Marlins acquired Cole Sulser and Tanner Scott on Sunday. Neidert made eight appearances (seven starts) for Miami last year and posted a 4.54 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 35.2 innings.

Cole Sulser - Dealt to Miami Sulser and Tanner Scott were traded from the Orioles to the Marlins on Sunday in exchange for Antonio Velez and Kevin Guerrero, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact Sulser was slated to compete for closing duties in Baltimore to begin the 2022 campaign, but he'll now attempt to carve out a role in the Marlins' bullpen. The right-hander converted eight of 11 save chances last year and posted a 2.70 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 63.1 innings across 60 relief appearances. The Marlins have Dylan Floro (arm), Anthony Bender and Anthony Bass available as late relievers, but Sulser should be in the mix for some late-inning work in 2022.

Tanner Scott - Traded to Marlins Scott and Cole Sulser were traded from the Orioles to the Marlins on Sunday in exchange for Antonio Velez and Kevin Guerrero, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact Scott got some work as a setup man for Baltimore in 2021, and he logged 16 holds with a 5.17 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 54 innings across 62 relief appearances. The southpaw should be in the mix for some late-inning work with the Marlins this year, but he'll likely have to improve his 14.7 percent walk rate to become a more reliable option.

Erik González - Misses out on Opening Day roster The Marlins reassigned Gonzalez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact He was one of seven players sent out of big-league camp in the Marlins' latest round of roster cuts in advance of Opening Day. Gonzalez joined Miami on a minor-league deal earlier in the offseason after slashing .232/.258/.300 in 229 plate appearances over 71 games in the majors with Pittsburgh in 2021.

Jimmy Yacabonis - Heads to minors The Marlins reassigned Yacabonis to minor-league camp Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Yacabonis joined Miami on a minor-league deal in November after he spent the 2021 season in Seattle's organization. He spent the entire campaign at Triple-A Tacoma, accruing a 2.17 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 37.1 innings. The 30-year-old is expected to slot into the bullpen at Triple-A Jacksonville in Miami's organization to begin the upcoming season.

Sandy Alcantara - Draws Opening Day start Alcantara will start the Marlins' Opening Day matchup against the Giants on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alcantara has developed into the Marlins' ace across the last three seasons and will unsurprisingly serve as the Opening Day starter for a third consecutive year. The right-hander made a career-high 33 starts in 2021 and posted a 3.19 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 201:50 K:BB in 205.2 innings.

Joey Wendle - Raking this spring Wendle got the start at shortstop and hit leadoff in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, going 1-for-3 to improve his spring line to .346/.393/.385.

Impact Acquired from the Rays in the offseason, the veteran utility player will likely spend most of his time this season at third base for the Marlins. Wendle launched a career-high 11 homers in 2021, but his main fantasy appeal comes from his ability to make contact (.274 career hitter) and swipe some bases (42 steals in 57 attempts over 436 MLB games.

Jesus Luzardo - Wraps up impressive spring Luzardo gave up one run on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros. He struck out three.

Impact Jose Altuve took him deep to lead off the bottom of the first inning, but after that Luzardo shut down a Houston lineup that most featured Opening Day starters. It was the first run the young southpaw had allowed this spring, and he heads into the regular season having posted a 0.77 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB through 11.2 innings in Grapefruit League play. Luzardo is now on the third organization since being drafted in 2016, but he might finally be ready to deliver on the promise he's showed in the minors.

Sean Guenther - May need surgery Guenther is dealing with an arm injury which will likely require surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The nature of Guenther's injury and his potential surgery are not yet clear, but he's been ruled out of contention for the Opening Day roster and will begin the season on the injured list. While the Marlins would certainly prefer him to be healthy, he wasn't shaping up to be a major part of the team's plans, as he struggled to a 9.30 ERA while striking out just 14.6 percent of opposing batters in his 20.1-innings debut last season.

Max Meyer - Moves to minor-league camp Meyer was reassigned to the Marlins' minor-league spring training Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Meyer received a late-season promotion to Jacksonville last year but spent most of the campaign at Double-A Pensacola, where he posted a 2.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 113:40 K:BB over 101 innings. It was the first professional season for the 2020 third-overall pick, and the 23-year-old could see the majors later this year if he continues that level of production at the Triple-A level.

Nick Neidert - Sent to minors Neidert was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Neidert finished last season at the Triple-A level and will also open there in 2022. The 25-year-old made eight appearances (seven starts) for the Marlins last year and had a 4.54 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 21:23 K:BB over 35.2 innings.

Dylan Floro - Won't be ready by Opening Day Floro (arm) continues to make progress but won't be ready to go by Opening Day, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Floro is positioned to add to his 15 career saves this season, but he won't get to add to that number right away. He's been behind schedule throughout camp due to arm soreness, and while he's scheduled for another bullpen Friday, he won't be built up in time to avoid a trip to the injured list. Anthony Bender and Anthony Bass are in the mix for the Marlins' first few save chances of the year, but it doesn't look as though Floro will miss an extended period.

Jesús Sánchez - Back in action Friday Sanchez (chest) is starting in center field and batting third in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanchez has been sitting out spring games this week due to intercostal soreness, but he's now on track for Opening Day after rejoining Friday's lineup. The 25-year-old hit .251/.319/.489 with 14 home runs and 36 RBI in 64 games last season and is poised to work as Miami's everyday center fielder in 2022.

Tommy Nance - Headed to minors Nance was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Marlins claimed Nance off waivers Sunday, after he was designated for assignment by the Cubs. He made his major-league debut in 2021, and despite a disastrous 7.22 ERA, Nance showed some promising skills by racking up 30 strikeouts across 28.2 innings. Though he'll now begin the season at Triple-A Jacksonville, Nance will likely contribute out of Miami's bullpen at some point during the season.

Edward Cabrera - Optioned to Triple-A Cabrera was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Cabrera faced a difficult path to make the Opening Day rotation. He was effective across three scoreless innings in Grapefruit League action on Monday, though he arrived to camp late due to visa issues, raising some question about his availability to begin the regular season. In addition, the Marlins boast a strong rotation, particularly given the promising spring performance of Jesus Luzardo -- the team's likely fifth starter. Despite the fact that Cabrera will begin the campaign in Jacksonville, he will almost certainly get starts in Miami at some point in the coming months.

Dylan Floro - Throwing light bullpens Floro (arm) threw a light bullpen this week and will toss another Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Floro is behind schedule in camp due to arm soreness, but it's encouraging to see him throwing off a mound with a week remaining until Opening Day. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be forced to miss time to begin the regular season, but Anthony Bender and Anthony Bass are candidates to see save opportunities if Floro is sidelined.
