Sixto Sánchez - Optioned to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Sanchez (shoulder) to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Sanchez has yet to resume a throwing program since he was shut down earlier this month after experiencing continued discomfort in his surgically repaired right shoulder. At this stage, the Marlins aren't expecting him to be available until around midseason at the soonest, so the decision to remove him from the active roster doesn't come as a major surprise. Because Sanchez will likely be placed on Jacksonville's injured list rather than the Marlins', fantasy managers may not have the luxury of stashing the 23-year-old in a reserve slot during what's expected to be a prolonged absence to begin the season.

Cody Poteet - Set to pitch Wednesday Poteet (knee) is scheduled to make a relief appearance Wednesday in the Marlins' Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Poteet will be throwing for the second time this spring, after he struck out three over two scoreless frames Friday against the Nationals. As a rookie last season, Poteet made seven starts for Miami and submitted a 4.99 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 30.2 innings before he suffered a sprained right knee in late June that ended his campaign prematurely. Though he's back to full health again this spring, Poteet likely finds himself on the outside looking in for a spot in Miami's Opening Day rotation. He could still break camp with the big club as a long reliever, though the organization may prefer to have him stay stretched out as a starter at Triple-A Jacksonville.

Jon Berti - Avoids arbitration Berti and the Marlins avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.2 million deal, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Berti will nearly double his salary despite the fact that he's coming off his worst season at the plate. After two years as an above-average hitter, he slumped to a .210/.311/.313 line last season, good for a 79 wRC+.

Garrett Cooper - Gets $2.5 million Cooper signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact The agreement means the two sides won't have to meet in front of an arbiter. Cooper hit a strong .284/.380/.465 last season in 250 plate appearances but again faces questions about his playing time after the Marlins brought in Jorge Soler as their primary designated hitter.

Brian Anderson - Avoids arbitration Anderson agreed to a one-year, $4.475 million contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact Anderson will receive a modest raise in his second season of arbitration eligibility following a down 2021 season. Shoulder and oblique issues limited him to 67 games, and he hit just .249/.337/.378 when available. With the Marlins bringing in Joey Wendle this offseason, Anderson is expected to see more reps in the outfield in 2022 as he aims to maintain an everyday spot in the lineup.

Impact Floro will more than triple his salary heading into his second-last year of team control. He's coming off a strong season which saw him save the first 15 games of his career while cruising to a 2.81 ERA.

Elieser Hernandez - Signs one-year deal Hernandez and the Marlins agreed to terms on a one-year, $1.325 million contract Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hernandez gets a raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility despite the fact that he's coming off an injury-filled year. Biceps and quad injuries sent him to the 60-day injured list twice, but he recorded a respectable 4.18 ERA in 11 starts when healthy.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Dealing with bruised hand Chisholm was diagnosed with a right hand contusion after exiting Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Chisholm left the contest after a grounder took a bad hop and hit him in the right hand. While he could have been in line for a lengthy absence had he suffered a fracture, it looks as though he's escaped with merely a minor injury. He's expected to return in two or three days.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Exits with apparent injury Chisholm left Tuesday's game against the Cardinals after a bad hop hit him in the right hand or wrist, Joe Frisaro of ManOnSecondBaseball.com reports.
Impact The severity of the injury is not yet clear. Chisholm's early exit may be nothing more than an abundance of caution given the low stakes of a Grapefruit League game, and he could be back within a few days if he's dealing with nothing worse than a bruise. If he instead suffered a fracture, he could miss time at the start of the regular season, opening up at-bats for Jon Berti.

Max Meyer - Dazzles in spring debut Meyer struck out out five Mets over four perfect innings during Monday's Grapefruit League game.
Impact Entering the game in the third inning in relief of Elieser Hernandez, Meyer carved up a New York lineup that included Dominic Smith and J.D. Davis, using his plus slider to get all five of his punchouts while sitting 95-97 mph with his fastball. The 23-year-old right-hander is the Marlins' top pitching prospect after being selected in the first round of the 2020 Draft, rising to Triple-A Jacksonville at the end of last season and posting a 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB in 10 innings over two starts. Miami won't rush him, but if Meyer dominates Triple-A again to begin the 2022 campaign, he could force his way into the big-league rotation this summer despite the fact he isn't yet on the 40-man roster.

Isan Diaz - Cast off 40-man roster The Marlins designated Diaz for assignment Tuesday.
Impact Diaz was dropped from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler, whose three-year contract with the Marlins became official Tuesday. A prominent member of the Marlins' return haul in the January 2018 deal that sent Christian Yelich to Milwaukee, Diaz never emerged as the core contributor in the middle infield that Miami envisioned. Over 500 plate appearances with the Marlins across parts of the past three seasons, Diaz slashed .185/.275/.287 with nine home runs, 45 runs and 41 RBI while striking out 27.8 percent of the time.

Grant Dayton - Agrees to terms with Miami Dayton signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact Dayton appears to be back to full strength after inking a MiLB deal and will set his sights on competing for a role in the Marlins' bullpen. He appeared in 13 games during the 2021 season with Atlanta, posting a 6.23 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with a 14:6 K:BB across 13 frames but missed a good chunk of the campaign due to shoulder inflammation. The southpaw went under the knife in November of 2021 to clean up the AC join in his left shoulder, an operation that wasn't expected to disrupt his normal offseason throwing program.

Richard Bleier - Inks two-year extension Bleier signed a two-year, $6 million extension with the Marlins on Monday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact Bleier made 68 relief appearances in 2021 during his first full season with the Marlins, and he recorded 20 holds with a 2.95 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 58 innings. He failed to convert any of his six save chances, but he'll be rewarded with a two-year extension and should be in the mix for a late-inning role in 2022.
