Jesus Luzardo - Shipped to Marlins Luzardo was traded from the Athletics to the Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for outfielder Starling Marte, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact Luzardo has had lackluster results in the big leagues across the last two seasons with a 5.20 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 97 innings across 25 appearances (15 starts), and he's recorded a 6.52 ERA in eight starts at Triple-A Las Vegas this year. However, the southpaw still has several years of team control with plenty of potential as a prospect, and he boasts 95.6 mph average fastball velocity.

Starling Marte - Notches another steal Marte went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-3 win at Baltimore. He also reached on a hit-by-pitch.
Impact Marte delivered two steals in Sunday's three-hit performance, and he followed that up with another steal in Tuesday's series opener. The 32-year-old is performing well since the break with a 1.156 OPS, a home run, four doubles, seven RBI, eight runs and five stolen bases in 11 contests.
JULY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Brian Anderson - Homers in back-to-back games Anderson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Orioles.
Impact Anderson missed two months with a dislocated left shoulder but returned to action over the weekend, and he's quickly found his power stroke with long balls in Sunday's and Tuesday's contests. The 28-year-old had a .687 OPS in 35 games prior to the injury, but he's 5-for-12 with two homers, two walks and an additional run in three games since being activated from the injured list Saturday.
JULY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sandy León - Delivers three-run homer Leon went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI during Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Orioles.
Impact The 32-year-old caught for Sandy Alcantara in Baltimore and launched his third home run of the season. Leon has struggled for the most part offensively with a .487 OPS in 2021, though he's 5-for-18 with a homer, a double, five RBI and three runs in his past six appearances. Neither he or Jorge Alfaro have done enough at the plate to warrant fantasy consideration.

Sandy Alcantara - Picks up win in quality start Alcantara (6-9) earned the win Tuesday at Baltimore after allowing three runs on six hits with five strikeouts and a walk across six innings.
Impact The right-hander pounded the zone Tuesday and delivered 62 of 85 pitches for strikes. He served up two solo homers across six frames and attempted to come out for the seventh, but he was pulled after giving up another run on a double and a single without recording an out. In 12 starts since surrendering eight runs over 1.1 innings during his outing May 14 against the Dodgers, Alcantara has a 2.77 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 59:22 K:BB over 74.2 frames.

Jordan Holloway - Staying in rotation Holloway is scheduled to start Wednesday's game in Baltimore, Bally Sports Florida reports.
Impact Holloway will earn a second straight turn through the rotation, despite giving the Marlins only 3.2 innings while surrendering three runs (two earned) on three hits and five walks in a July 22 loss to the Padres. The Marlins' decision to stick with Holloway likely stems from their lack of healthy alternatives; six starting pitchers on the 40-man roster are on the MLB or minor-league injured list, and another (Paul Campbell) is serving a suspension. Miami at least appears on track to return All-Star Trevor Rogers (back) from the IL within the next few days, so Holloway could be headed to the bullpen or to Triple-A Jacksonville following Wednesday's start.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Could skip rehab assignment Manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Chisolm (shoulder) could skip a rehab assignment and opt to just participate in live batting practice in order to prepare to be activated fr...
Impact It was reported last week that Chisholm was nearing a rehab assignment, but it sounds like a few sessions facing live pitching might be enough to get the infielder ready for activation from the IL. Mattingly said the team is "hopeful" Chisholm will be reinstated when he first becomes eligible Friday.

Jorge Alfaro - Not starting Tuesday Alfaro is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alfaro will sit for the second game in a row as Sandy Leon handles the catching duties once again. The two have seen a relatively even split in starts behind the plate in recent days, and that could remain the case during the season's final two-plus months.

Elieser Hernandez - Ready to face hitters Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Hernandez (quadriceps) will face hitters in a live batting practice session at the team's spring training facility in Jupiter, Fla.,...
Impact Hernandez was able to complete bullpen sessions last week without incident, so he'll move on to the next phase of his rehab from a strained right quad. If he steers clear of any setbacks while throwing live BP, Hernandez could then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 26-year-old right-hander has made just two starts for the big club this season after previously missing two months of action with right biceps tendon inflammation.
JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jesús Sánchez - Gearing up for return Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Sanchez (COVID-19 injured list) has entered the return-to-play protocol, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Mattingly's comments suggest that Sanchez has completed a quarantine period and is ready to participate in full baseball activities after having been shut down for the past week and a half. The young outfielder may need a few days' worth of workouts to regain conditioning, and he could be sent out on a short minor-league rehab assignment before the Marlins reinstate him from the IL. Once he gets the green light to rejoin the big club, Sanchez could settle back in as Miami's everyday left fielder.
JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Rogers - Scheduled for mound session Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Rogers (back) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rogers was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after experiencing lower-back muscle spasms, but per Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com, manager Don Mattingly expressed optimism that he'll be ready to be activated after the minimum 10 days. The Marlins have made it known that they intend to monitor the workloads of their young pitchers carefully in the second half, so Rogers could still be a candidate to have some of his starts skipped or have his innings restricted over the final two months of the season even if he stays healthy.
JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo López - Set to begin flat-ground throwing Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Lopez (shoulder) will initiate throwing off flat ground later this week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Lopez seems to have made some progress in his recovery from a right rotator cuff strain since being placed on the injured list a week and a half ago, but he still has several more hurdles to clear in the rehab process before the Marlins will consider reinstating him. At this point, fantasy managers shouldn't bank on Lopez returning until mid-August at the earliest, which may make it difficult to justify holding him in leagues with limited IL or bench spots.
JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jon Berti - Not ready for full activity Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Berti (concussion) has resumed light baseball activities, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Berti appears to have made only slight progress in his recovery from a concussion, an injury that resulted in him being placed on the 7-day injured list Friday. He likely won't be on track to return for this weekend's series against the Yankees when first eligible.
