Lewis Brinson - Plates two runs in loss Brinson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's loss against the Padres.

Impact Brinson crossed home plate in the second inning following an RBI single from Magneuris Sierra, but he made his presence felt in the top of the eighth with a two-run shot that made it a one-run game. Brinson, who now has five homers on the season, is hitting .268 with a .774 OPS. Brinson, who has been one of the best hitters in an anemic Marlins offense all season long, has registered three multi-hit performances in a row. He's also hitting an impressive .364 with two homers and 11 RBI across nine games this month.

Braxton Garrett - Picks up another start Garrett is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Trevor Rogers (personal) apparently won't be ready to return from the Family Medical Emergency List for the second game of the series in San Diego, so Garrett will be awarded a second straight turn through the rotation. Garrett has been sharp across both of his past two outings with Miami, working 12 innings between the starts while allowing two runs on nine hits and five walks and striking out 16.

Shawn Morimando - Rejoins major-league bullpen Morimando's contract was selected by the Marlins on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Morimando made two relief appearances for the Marlins earlier in the year and allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out five in 5.2 innings. He'll provide bullpen depth after left-hander Sean Guenther was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Deven Marrero - Contract selected by Miami Marrero's contract was selected by the Marlins on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marrero was designated for assignment Wednesday, but he went unclaimed on waivers and will rejoin the major-league roster after Jazz Chisholm (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Monday. The 30-year-old will fill a depth role in Miami's infield.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Guenther - Sent down Monday Guenther was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Guenther spent a week in the Marlins' bullpen after his contract was selected last Sunday, but he'll head back to the minors after he allowed four runs in 2.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Rockies. Left-hander Shawn Morimando's contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville as part of a move to take his place in the bullpen.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Placed on injured list Chisholm was placed on the COVID-19 injured list with flu-like symptoms Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Chisholm's placement on the COVID-19 IL doesn't come as a surprise since he didn't travel with the team to San Diego after he was scratched from Sunday's lineup in Colorado. The length of the 23-year-old's absence depends on whether he tests positive for the virus and when his symptoms subside. Isan Diaz is starting at the keystone Monday and is in line to serve as the primary second baseman in Chisholm's absence.

Pablo López - Another bullpen on tap Lopez (shoulder) will throw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lopez threw off a mound Saturday, and he'll increase his pitch count Tuesday. The right-hander has continued to make progress since he was placed on the 10-day injured list in mid-July, although he'll presumably need to face hitters in some capacity before he's reinstated from the injured list.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Doesn't travel with team Chisholm (illness) didn't travel with the Marlins to San Diego and remains in Colorado, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 23-year-old was scratched from Sunday's lineup with flu-like symptoms, and the fact he's remaining in Colorado indicates a potential move to the COVID-19 injured list is forthcoming. Chisholm was on the COVID IL last week, but he was cleared to return after spending one day on the shelf and started the next four games for Miami. Any roster move should be made official prior to Monday's first pitch at 10:10 p.m. ET.

AUGUST 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jorge Alfaro - Available Monday Alfaro (chest) is available for Monday's game against the Padres, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alfaro was removed from Sunday's game in Colorado due to shortness of breath, but the issue won't force him to miss any additional time. Whether the 28-year-old starts in Monday's series opener against the Padres remains to be seen.
