Pablo López - Could return soon Lopez (shoulder) threw three simulated innings in a bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Lopez has missed the entirety of the second half with shoulder strain. He threw two innings in a rehab game Thursday and reached three this time around, so it's possible he's activated to start over the weekend and asked to throw approximately four innings. The Marlins will wait to see how his shoulder responds before making a decision, as they have no incentive to risk aggravating Lopez's injury given that they're no longer in the playoff race.

Jesús Aguilar - Undergoes arthroscopic surgery Aguilar underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Monday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact Aguilar wasn't expected to be able to return this season, and the surgery confirms that fact. Whether or not he'll still be recovering at the start of spring training is not yet clear.

Zach Thompson - Starting first game of doubleheader Thompson will start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Thompson has made 13 starts for the Marlins this season but has been pitching out of the bullpen thus far in September. He hasn't recorded more than five outs in over a month, so he'll likely be on some sort of pitch count Tuesday. Thompson owns a 3.16 ERA as a starter this season, though it's taken a .240 BABIP to get there, as he's striking out a modest 20.2 percent of opposing batters.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Lewis Brinson - On bench for afternoon game Brinson will sit for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Brinson sits after starting nine straight games, a stretch in which he hit .194/.216/.222. Bryan De La Cruz shifts to left field, with Magneuris Sierra starting in center.

Miguel Rojas - On bench for afternoon game Rojas will sit for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The Marlins will likely give a number of their regulars a rest in one of the two games. Jazz Chisholm slides to shortstop for the afternoon contest, with Joe Panik starting at second base.

Jesus Luzardo - Handed ninth loss Luzardo (5-9) allowed two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Rays.
Impact Luzardo struggled out of the gate, allowing two runs in the first inning on a pair of sacrifice flies. He then retired eight straight batters and worked out of a jam in the fourth inning without taking any more damage. Luzardo has pitched fewer than six innings in each of his last five starts but slightly lowered his season ERA to 6.90. He's lined up to face the Phillies at home next weekend assuming the Marlins don't shut him down.

Miguel Rojas - Homers in loss Rojas went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Rays.
Impact Rojas smacked his ninth homer of the season off Shane McClanahan in the third inning Saturday to give the Marlins a 1-0 lead. With eight games remaining, the infielder is now just two long balls shy of matching his career high of 11 that he set in 2018.

Sandy Alcantara - Puts up quality start Alcantara (9-14) allowed three earned runs on nine hits and no walks with six strikeouts through six innings, taking the loss in Saturday's 7-3 defeat to the Rays.
Impact Instead of being lights out as he has been over his last three starts, Alcantara was merely fine against Tampa Bay. Five Rays crossed home under his watch, with the big blow coming via a two-run homer by Mike Zunino in the fifth inning. Alcantara emerged from the dugout to start the seventh, but found himself heading back to the bench rather quickly after giving up a single and an RBI double. With his six frames worked Saturday night, the right-hander presently trails only the Phillies' Zack Wheeler in innings pitched this season. The 26-year-old lines up for one more start, which should come against said Phillies on Friday.
