Impact The young infielder was placed on the COVID-19 list Tuesday, but apparently he tested negative and is no longer feeling symptoms. Deven Marrero was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

MIAMI MARLINS 62-100 · 5TH IN NL EAST
62-100 · 5TH IN NL EAST
Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Returns from COVID-19 IL Chisholm was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and is batting leadoff as the shortstop in Wednesday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Isan Diaz - Belts third homer Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Mets.
Impact His third-inning blast off Taijuan Walker gave the Marlins a 2-0 lead in a game during which they never trailed. Diaz hadn't gone yard since May 7 and has only three homers on the year, but he should get regular starts at second base while Jazz Chisholm (COVID-19) is sidelined and has been productive since the All-Star break, slashing .289/.372/.474 over his last 15 games.

Alex Jackson - Pops first big-league homer Jackson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Mets.
Impact He opened the scoring on the night by taking Taijuan Walker deep in the second inning, his first career homer in the big leagues. Jackson also struck out twice, and the move to Miami at the trade deadline doesn't seem to have changed the catcher's fortunes at the plate -- it's a small sample of 58 plate appearances, but Jackson's gone just 4-for-51 (.078) with a 3:26 BB:K in the majors for his career.
AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Floro - Picks up fourth save Floro gave up one run on two hits in the ninth inning Tuesday to record his fourth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Mets. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
Impact The outing wasn't as clean as Monday's, perhaps not surprising considering he's pitched three days in a row, but Floro still got the job done as the Marlins' apparent new closer. The 30-year-old sports a 2.64 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB through 44.1 innings on the season.
AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Neidert - Collects first win of year Neidert (1-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Mets, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
Impact A late fade cost Neidert a chance at his first quality start of the season, but it was still his longest outing of the year for Miami and he came away with his first win. The right-hander's 4.11 ERA in the majors isn't supported by his 1.50 WHIP or 20:20 K:BB through 30.2 innings, but he should remain in the rotation until the Marlins get reinforcements back from the injured list.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Goes on COVID-19 IL The Marlins placed Chisholm on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Chisholm is dealing with symptoms, although it's unclear whether he actually tested positive for the virus. If is positive for COVID-19, he'll be out of action for 10 days. Deven Marrero was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Deven Marrero - Rejoins Marlins Marrero was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Impact The Marlins had DFA'd Marrero on July 30 after he appeared in three games for the club, going 3-for-7 with a home run. Now, he gets called up again to replace Jazz Chisholm (COVID-19).
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Magneuris Sierra - Not in Tuesday's lineup Sierra is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact He is hitting .194 with one steal and zero home runs over his last 10 games. Lewis Brinson will start in center field and hit fifth.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Out of Tuesday's lineup Chisholm is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Isan Diaz will start at second base and bat second. Chisholm is hitting .313 with three strikeouts, zero walks and zero extra-base hits in 16 at-bats since returning from the injured list.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Rogers - On family medical emergency list Rogers was placed on the family medical emergency list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact This is similar to a player being placed on the bereavement list, and Rogers must remain on the family medical emergency list for at least three days but no more than seven days. This means he will not make his regularly scheduled start Thursday at home against the Mets and will likely return during this weekend's series in Coors Field, which could be a big blow for his fantasy managers. If he spent six or seven days on the family medical emergency list, he would start next week in San Diego.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Neidert - Starting Tuesday vs. Mets Neidert was called up to start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact His most recent big-league start July 21 in Washington was his best of the season, as he logged five innings while allowing one earned run with two strikeouts and three walks. Neidert's 1.56 WHIP and 15:16 K:BB in 25 innings suggest that a lot of good fortune has gone into him sitting with a 3.96 ERA through five MLB appearances.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Alfaro - Starting in left field Tuesday Alfaro will move from catcher to start in left field Tuesday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Alfaro has served as Miami's primary backstop this season, so the transition to left field is somewhat unexpected. The change could very possibly be related to transactions that will be made prior to Tuesday's first pitch, though no roster moves have been announced at this point.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Deven Marrero - Headed to Triple-A The Marlins outrighted Marrero to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Impact Both Marrero and outfielder Corey Bird will stick in the organization after Miami designated the duo for assignment over the weekend. Marrero appeared in two games during his brief stint with the big club, going 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional runs.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Corey Bird - Stays in Miami organization The Marlins outrighted Bird to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Impact Both Bird and infielder Deven Marrero will stick in the organization after Miami designated the duo for assignment over the weekend. Bird is still waiting to make his MLB debut; the 25-year-old outfielder went unused off the bench in the two days he was up with the Marlins.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Lewis Brinson - Socks grand slam in win Brinson went 2-for-4 with a home run, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Mets.
Impact The 27-year-old launched a grand slam off Tylor Megill in the first inning, putting the game out of reach when it had just begun. Brinson has been moderately productive since being promoted after the All-Star break, slashing .257/.316/.514 with two homers and eight RBI through 13 games, and with Starling Marte and Adam Duvall gone, he figures to see consistent playing time down the stretch.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Floro - Notches third save Floro gave up one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings Monday to record his third save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Mets.
Impact With Yimi Garcia now in Houston, the saves picture in Miami may have just gotten a bit clearer. Anthony Bender worked a perfect seventh inning Monday while Anthony Bass struggled in the eighth, loading the bases with two outs and forcing Floro to bail him out before finishing the job in the ninth. Marlins manager Don Mattingly could turn to a committee in save situations, but he preferred having one closer earlier in the season when he leaned on Garcia, and it looks like Floro will get the first chance to fill that role over the final two months.
AUGUST 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jesus Luzardo - Grabs win in Miami debut Luzardo (3-4) picked up the win Monday, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over five innings in a 6-3 victory over the Mets. He struck out five.
Impact Making his Marlins debut after coming over from Oakland in the Starling Marte deal, Luzardo once again showed somewhat shaky control, tossing 47 of 84 pitches for strikes. However, a first-inning grand slam by Lewis Brinson gave him all the run support he would need. The southpaw has a 6.70 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 45:19 K:BB through 43 innings in the majors this season, but he's capable of much, much better.
