Jesús Sánchez - Aiming for weekend return Manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that Sanchez is dealing with intercostal soreness and could rejoin the Marlins' Grapefruit League lineup Friday against the Astros or Saturday...
Impact Mattingly provided the update on Sanchez's condition after the outfielder was withheld from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to the injury cropping up. The Marlins are off Wednesday but will still hold a team workout, so what Sanchez is able to do in those drills may dictate when he re-enters the spring lineup. Assuming he's good to go for Opening Day, Sanchez is projected to begin the season as the Marlins' everyday center fielder.

Impact Mattingly downplayed the issue and suggested the Marlins are just taking extra caution with Sanchez, whom the skipper said is in line to serve as the team's everyday center fielder in 2022. Sanchez is expected to check back into the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals following the Marlins' off day Wednesday.

Edward Cabrera - Unveils new pitch Monday Cabrera tossed three scoreless, no-hit innings against the Nationals in his 2022 spring training debut Monday, allowing one walk and striking out three. He also worked a new sinker...
Impact The power sinker is sitting in the high 90s, and Cabrera feels it will play well off his plus slider, which he used to fan Nelson Cruz on Monday. "It's something that I'm applying to the game," Cabrera said after the outing. "I'm throwing a 98 [mph] sinker and then it's something that I want to surprise some of the batters with an 88 [mph] slider, especially if it's breaking like it was today. I can apply it and have some success here." The 23-year-old right-hander struggled in his big-league debut last year after dominating in the high minors, but he still posted a solid 23.3 percent strikeout rate over 26.1 innings for Miami. The Marlins are hoping he can make the same kind of leap forward in 2022 that Trevor Rogers did in 2021.

Edward Cabrera - Set for spring debut Monday Cabrera is scheduled to start Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Cabrera finished the 2021 campaign on the injured list due to a blister on his right middle finger, but it was visa issues that prevented him from beginning his buildup program at the same time as the Marlins' other starting candidates at the start of spring training. After resolving the visa issue and reporting to camp, Cabrera is now on track to make his spring debut. Despite the missed workouts, Cabrera still looks like he'll be ready to go for the start of the regular season, though he may need to pitch well Monday and in his subsequent spring outings to clinch a spot in Miami's Opening Day rotation. Over his first seven big-league starts in 2021, Cabrera posted a 5.81 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 28:19 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

Yoan López - DFA'd by Miami Lopez was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday.
Impact Lopez was claimed off waivers by the Marlins last week but had a short stay on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old will likely be assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Lopez appeared in 13 games for the Diamondbacks last season and had a 6.57 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over 12.1 innings.

Tommy Nance - Claimed by Marlins Nance was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Sunday.
Impact Nance was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Thursday after he posted a 7.22 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 28.2 innings across 27 relief appearances for the major-league club last year. He should have a chance to compete for a spot in the Marlins' bullpen with a week and a half remaining until Opening Day.

Jesús Aguilar - Launches first spring homer Aguilar went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
Impact Getting the start as the designated hitter and batting fifth, Aguilar crushed a Steven Matz offering to straightaway center field in the first inning to kick off a big day at the plate. The 31-year-old slugger racked up 22 homers and 93 RBI over 131 games last season with a .788 OPS, and he figures to be a dependable middle-of-the-order presence for Miami while splitting his time between first base and DH.

Elieser Hernandez - Dealing to begin spring Hernandez gave up one hit and struck out three over three scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
Impact He entered the game in the fourth inning after Trevor Rogers got the start, and Hernandez promptly fanned Nolan Arenado to begin his day. The 26-year-old right-hander has yet to allow a run so far this spring and has a 6:0 K:BB through five innings as he looks to establish himself as a reliable arm at the back of the Marlins' talent-laden rotation.
MARCH 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Rogers - Solid spring debut Rogers allowed one run on two hits and a walk over three innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. He struck out one.
Impact Making his spring debut, the southpaw got tagged for a solo home run by Paul Goldschmidt in the third inning but otherwise had little trouble with a St. Louis lineup that featured a number of regulars. Rogers broke out in 2021 with a 2.64 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 28.5 percent strikeout rate over 133 innings and 25 starts, and if he can maintain or even build on the control gains he showed last year, he may not have reached his ceiling yet in the majors.

Richard Bleier - Could get situational saves Bleier is an option for save chances to begin the season if Dylan Floro (hip) isn't available, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Floro, Miami's expected closer, has yet to appear in a Grapefruit League game due to hip soreness, so manager Don Mattingly may use a committee in his place that includes Anthony Bender, Anthony Bass and Bleier. The latter is the left-hander in the group, so his late-inning role is likely to be situational, but getting the occasional save would still boost his value in holds-plus-saves formats. Bleier is coming off a strong 2021 season in which he recorded three wins and 20 holds over 68 appearances with a 2.95 ERA and 0.98 WHIP.

Anthony Bass - Could see early save chances Bass is an option to close for the Marlins at the beginning of the season with Dylan Floro delayed by a hip issue, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Floro was expected to be the ninth-inning man for Miami to begin the season, but he has yet to appear in a Grapefruit League game while dealing with hip soreness. Of the remaining options for saves, Bass has the most experience, recording 12 saves for the Mariners and Blue Jays between 2019 and 2020, but Anthony Bender is viewed as having the best stuff, while Richard Bleier could also see work against left-handers at the end of games. "I think we're going to be more of a mix-and-match club," manager Don Mattingly said Friday. "We're not sitting here with Mariano [Rivera] or Kenley [Jansen] or these dudes that you say, 'This is my ninth-inning guy, he gets the ball every time.' That might develop like that, but right now, I don't think we're there." While Mattingly may talk in terms of a committee, his track record suggests he much prefers having one set closer, so if Bass or Bender have a quick start to the season in the role, they may well end up keeping it for awhile.
