Don Mattingly to rejoin Marlins on Friday after bout with COVID Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly, sidelined since he tested positive for COVID-19 on July 31, is expected to rejoin the team Friday.
Elieser Hernandez - Dazzles in latest rehab start Hernandez (quadriceps) made the third start of his minor-league rehab assignment at Double-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, tossing five innings and allowing one run on two hits and no w...
Impact Hernandez needed only 62 pitches (48 strikes) to record his 10 punchouts. After missing the past two months with a right quad strain, Hernandez has looked dominant through his three rehab outings, allowing only one run while posting an 18:0 K:BB in 11.2 innings. The Marlins haven't announced their plans for Hernandez, but based on where his pitch count currently stands and how he's performed in the minors, his next start will most likely come with the big club either Sunday against the Cubs or during next week's series with Atlanta. The 26-year-old right-hander makes for an intriguing pitcher to stash in leagues where he's sitting on the waiver wire.

Bryan De La Cruz - Socks first career homer De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Padres.
Impact He took Ryan Weathers deep in the second inning for his first career big-league homer. De La Cruz hasn't come close to replicating his numbers from a breakout campaign at Triple-A this season but he is batting a respectable .267 (12-for-45) through his first 13 MLB games, albeit with a shaky 2:15 BB:K.

Lewis Brinson - Goes yard twice Wednesday Brinson went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Padres.
Impact The 27-year-old has caught fire in August. Brinson has produced multi-hit performances in six of 11 games so far this month, batting .390 (16-for-41) with four doubles, four homers and 15 RBI. It's taken a while -- Brinson is closing in on 1,000 career plate appearances in the majors -- but the 2012 first-round pick and centerpiece of the Christian Yelich trade a few years ago might finally be turning into the kind of offensive force his elite athleticism suggested he could become.

Sandy Alcantara - Shuts down Padres Alcantara (7-10) picked up the win in Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Padres, giving up four hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
Impact The right-hander came roaring back after his 10-run disaster at Coors Field in his last outing, firing 65 of 104 pitches for strikes. Alcantara had delivered three quality starts in his last four trips to the mound, giving him 16 on the season, and he sports a 3.52 ERA and 128:42 K:BB through 143.1 innings.

Jesús Sánchez - Starting rehab assignment Sanchez (COVID-19 injured list) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Sanchez has been on the COVID-19 IL since mid-July, and he entered the return-to-play protocol in late July. Although the 23-year-old has been participating in workouts recently, he'll still require some time in the minors prior to rejoining the Marlins. Sanchez is expected to serve as Miami's starting left fielder once he's reinstated from the injured list.

Miguel Rojas - Settling in as leadoff man Rojas will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Wednesday in San Diego, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact With Jazz Chisholm having moved back to the COVID-19 injured list earlier this week after a brief return to the active roster, Rojas has locked down the Marlins' leadoff job. Rojas could end up sticking as the Marlins' table setter once Chisholm returns, given how well he's performed of late. He'll carry a six-game hitting streak into Wednesday's series finale, with Rojas having gone 9-for-23 with a home run, two doubles, two stolen bases, a walk, five runs and three RBI over that stretch.

Magneuris Sierra - On bench against southpaw Sierra isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Sierra has formed a platoon with Lewis Brinson in the outfield after Starling Marte was traded to Oakland at the end of August, and the 25-year-old will retreat to the bench with southpaw Ryan Weathers on the mound for the Padres on Wednesday. Brinson will take over in center field while Jorge Alfaro starts in left.
AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jesús Aguilar - Not starting Wednesday Aguilar isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Aguilar will get a breather after he went 2-for-4 with a run in Tuesday's loss to San Diego. Joe Panik will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's series finale.

Jorge Alfaro - Two hits, stolen base Alfaro went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and two strikeouts in a 6-5 loss to San Diego on Tuesday.
Impact Starting again in left field, Alfaro raked a two-run double in the first and singled and stole second in the fourth for his second three-hit game in his last three. The 28-year-old has been hot of late, going 8-for-23 over his last seven games, and the theft was his career high sixth.

Richard Bleier - Suffers second loss Bleier (2-2) lost Tuesday's 6-5 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing one run on three hits with a strikeout in two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Bleier entered a 5-5 tie in the seventh and permitted three hits and a run before being removed. Though his season ERA is a solid 3.38, the veteran lefty is 0-2 with three blown saves in his last 10 appearances.

Braxton Garrett - Struggles through short start Garrett didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to San Diego, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts in 3.1 innings.
Impact Coming off two straight solid outings, Garrett coughed up nearly as many baserunners as outs recorded and surrendered runs in three different innings. This was the rookie's first start allowing more than three runs and his spot in the rotation isn't secure, though the fact that the start came against a powerful offense bodes well for his prospects.

José Devers - Undergoes shoulder surgery Devers underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a posterior labrum tear in his right shoulder, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Devers first landed on the shelf in mid-June with the shoulder injury and was pulled from his rehab assignment a month later after suffering a setback. The Marlins haven't announced a timeline for his return, though the 21-year-old shouldn't be expected to return this season after undergoing significant shoulder surgery.
