Brian Anderson - Undergoes shoulder surgery Anderson underwent surgery to repair his left shoulder capsule Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Anderson will now officially miss the rest of the season after undergoing the procedure, though he's expected to be healthy in time for spring training in February. The 28-year-old had a down season while dealing with multiple injuries and finished with a .249/.337/.378 slash line in 67 games.

Miguel Rojas - Heads to bench Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rojas has gone just 4-for-30 at the plate over his last seven games. He'll get a rest Tuesday, with Jazz Chisholm sliding to shortstop and Eddy Alvarez starting at second base.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Alfaro - Remains sidelined Alfaro (calf) remains on the bench Tuesday against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alfaro hasn't played since leaving Saturday's game against Atlanta with a tight left calf. Alex Jackson remains the starter behind the plate Tuesday, catching Jesus Luzardo.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Swipes another bag Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Monday's 3-0 win over the Nationals.
Impact That's now three steals in the last five games for Chisholm, giving the rookie 21 on the season. His plate discipline has collapsed toward the end of his first full big-league campaign, and he has a 1:17 BB:K that helps explain a .222/.239/.400 slash line through 11 games in September, but the 23-year-old has shown he can be a dynamic power-speed threat by swatting 15 homers and 36 extra-base hits in 106 contests.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Floro - Nails down 11th save Floro gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his 11th save of the season in a 3-0 win over the Nationals.
Impact The right-hander continues to get the job done as the Marlins' closer. Since the beginning of August after Yimi Garcia was traded, Floro has converted nine of 10 save chances with a 3.60 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB through 15 innings.
SEPTEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sandy Alcantara - Dominates Nats Alcantara (9-13) picked up the win Monday, allowing only one hit over eight scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Nationals. He struck out seven without walking a batter.
Impact The right-hander continues to dominate, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning and eventually exiting after 96 pitches (68 strikes). Alcantara's performance was even more remarkable considering he nearly came out of the game in the fourth after taking a screaming Juan Soto comebacker off his knee. The Miami ace has reeled off seven straight quality starts, posting a scintillating 1.55 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 64:7 K:BB through 52.1 innings over that stretch as he positions himself to be a Cy Young favorite in 2022.

Pablo López - Bullpen on tap Lopez (shoulder) will throw 25-to-30 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Marlins slowed Lopez's progression in late August after he made a three-inning rehab appearance Aug. 21, but he's now working toward building back up. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will have enough time to rejoin the Marlins in 2021 with just under three weeks remaining in the regular season.

Lewin Díaz - Back in starting nine Diaz will start at first base and bat sixth Monday against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The lefty-hitting Diaz took a seat in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta with a southpaw (Max Fried) on the mound for the opposition, but the 24-year-old rookie will be back in action for the series opener in Washington. Since being recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 8, Diaz has gone 3-for-17 with a triple and a run. Expect him to serve as Miami's primary first baseman while Jesus Aguilar (knee) is on the injured list.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Alfaro - Not in Monday's lineup Alfaro (calf) isn't starting Monday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Alfaro will be held out of the lineup for a second straight game as he continues to deal with calf tightness. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench Monday, but Alex Jackson will start behind the plate and bat seventh.

Jesús Sánchez - Collects three hits in loss Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple and two RBI in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Sanchez knocked a solo shot off Max Fried in the second inning, his 10th long ball of the season and third in his last three games. He improved his season slash line to .241/.310/.476 with 18 extra-base hits and 26 RBI through 187 plate appearances. The rookie outfielder hasn't quite lived up to the 1.059 OPS he posted with Triple-A Jacksonville this season, but he's showing flashes of that potential with real in-game power.

Edward Cabrera - Hampered by toe in start Cabrera gave up two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four before departing after 3.2 innings in Sunday's start against Atlanta due to a sore right big toe, Jor...
Impact At the time of his removal, Cabrera was already at 75 pitches in the outing and was struggling with both his command and control, so he likely wouldn't have worked much longer into Sunday's contest if the injury hadn't intervened. He was spared a loss after the Marlins rallied to tie the game in the sixth inning, but it's not yet clear if Cabrera will be ready to pitch when his next turn through the rotation comes up next weekend versus Pittsburgh.
