Starling Marte - Swipes bag, scores twice in return Marte (personal) went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact The outfielder was scratched for personal reasons Saturday, but it ended up only being a one-game absence.

Pablo López - Sets MLB record in win Lopez (5-5) earned the win Sunday versus Atlanta. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Lopez made MLB history by becoming the first pitcher to strike out nine straight batters to start a game. While he dominated the first time through the order, Atlanta got on the board in the fourth inning. Dansby Swanson added a solo shot in the sixth, but it didn't stop Lopez from recording his first quality start since June 25. The 25-year-old has done well with a 3.03 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 111:25 K:BB across 101 innings this season. He'll look to keep up the good work while likely starting during a four-game series versus Philadelphia coming out of the All-Star break.

Adam Duvall - Expected back coming out of break Manager Don Mattingly said Sunday after the Marlins' 7-4 win over Atlanta that he expects Duvall (side) to rejoin the lineup for the start of the second half, Jordan McPherson of t...

Impact Intercostal soreness kept Duvall out of action in the series finale, but the issue is considered minor and should be resolved over the All-Star break. The Marlins called up Monte Harrison from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, but Mattingly suggested that Harrison's addition was merely for short-term insurance in the outfield.

Monte Harrison - Recalled by Marlins Harrison was recalled by the Marlins on Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

He's managed a .260/.324/.440 line at the level across 111 plate appearances, though he's striking out at a 37.8 percent clip.

Jon Berti - Sits again Berti is not in Sunday's lineup against Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Berti is sitting for the second time in the team's three-game weekend series against Atlanta. He's managed only six hits in 32 at-bats across his last 10 appearances, which has translated to a .188/.257/.188 line.

Edward Cabrera - Working at Double-A for now Cabrera (biceps) made his fourth start for Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday, working five innings and giving up two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven.

Impact Heading into spring training, Cabrera appeared on track to open the season as a member of the Triple-A Jacksonville rotation, but right biceps inflammation nixed those plans. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in early June, and after two outings at Low-A Jupiter, Cabrera was ultimately reassigned from Jacksonville to Pensacola. Through his four outings at Pensacola, Cabrera owns an impressive 1.77 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and a 26:5 K:BB In 20.1 innings, so a move up to Triple-A could be coming in the near future.

Starling Marte - Scratched for personal reasons Marte was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to personal reasons, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact It's unclear whether the issue will keep him out Sunday as well, but it's possible Marte has already played his final game of the first half. Magneuris Sierra will start in center field and bat eighth in the afternoon contest.
