MIAMI MARLINS NEWS

Shawn Morimando - Designated for assignment Morimando was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Morimando spent a single day on the Marlins' roster but was quite effective in his lone appearance, tossing five scoreless innings of relief. His reward will be to be removed from the 40-man roster entirely, with Preston Guilmet's contract getting selected in a corresponding move.

Guilmet last pitched in the majors in 2018, when he had a 11.70 ERA across 10 innings with the Cardinals and Blue Jays.

The Futures Game usually features at least a few soon-to-be MLB stars. Jordan Shusterman picks six to watch come Sunday.

Shawn Morimando - Shuts down Atlanta as bulk reliever Morimando didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-0 loss to Atlanta, giving up three hits and four walks over five scoreless innings of relief. He struck out five.

Impact The southpaw was the only Miami pitcher to be at all effective on the night as he tossed 52 of 90 pitches for strikes behind opener Anthony Bass. Given how banged-up the team's rotation is, this effort as a bulk reliever could earn Morimando more work after the All-Star break, but his career numbers in a limited sample in the majors (8.71 ERA, 2.52 WHIP in 10.1 innings) and even his performance at Triple-A this season (4.87 ERA, 1.52 WHIP in 44.1 IP) aren't encouraging.

Anthony Bass - Takes loss as opener Bass (1-5) took the loss Friday, giving up one run on one hit while striking out two in the first inning as the Marlins were downed 5-0 by Atlanta.

Impact Making his first career appearance as an opener, the right-hander served up a solo shot to Freddie Freeman, and a slumbering Miami offense never climbed out of that early hole. Bass continues to struggle with consistency, getting tagged for runs in four of his last 10 games, and he sports a 4.28 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB through 33.2 innings on the year as he falls further out of the high-leverage mix for the Marlins.

Adam Duvall - Back in action Friday Duvall (illness) is batting cleanup and playing right field in Friday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 32-year-old was out of the lineup since Monday with an illness, but he did pinch hit Tuesday and Thursday, striking out in both of his plate appearances. Duvall has hit .321 with seven home runs and 18 RBI in his last 53 at-bats.

Jon Berti - Returns to bench Berti is not starting Friday's series opener against Atlanta, Jordan Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 31-year-old started consecutive games Wednesday and Thursday but went hitless in seven at-bats, reaching base just once via a walk. Berti has gone just 2-for-21 with eight strikeouts since Joe Panik, who is starting at third base Friday, joined the Marlins.

Shawn Morimando - Contract selected by Miami Morimando had his contract selected by the Marlins on Friday.

Impact The left-hander stuck around in the organization after being designated for assignment by Miami in late May, and he'll now receive another big-league opportunity. Morimando appeared in only one game for the Marlins and has a 4.87 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 44.1 innings (nine starts) at Triple-A this season. He could provide some length behind opener Anthony Bass on Friday after scheduled starter Zach Thompson (illness) was scratched.

Anthony Bass - Starting bullpen game Bass will start Friday's game versus Atlanta, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact The right-hander will start Friday's contest as manager Don Mattingly employs a bullpen game after starter Zach Thompson (illness) was scratched. Bass won't provide much length given he hasn't pitched more than one inning during any appearance this season. He has a 4.13 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB across 32.2 frames.

JULY 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Zach Thompson - Scratched from Friday's start Thompson is feeling under the weather and was scratched from Friday's start against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The right-hander was slated to make his final start before the All-Star break Friday versus Atlanta, but he won't be able to pitch due to the ailment. Trevor Rogers and Pablo Lopez are penciled in as the starters for Saturday and Sunday, respectively, so Thompson likely won't pitch again until after the midseason festivities. The Marlins are expected to employ a bullpen game Friday in his absence.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Tallies 10th homer Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Dodgers.

Impact Chisholm led off the bottom of the first inning with his 10th home run of the season to supply Miami with its only run of the game. It was only his third long ball in 28 games since June 6, though he's still managed 16 RBI and 17 runs scored in that span. For the season, Chisholm has maintained a .254/.316/.438 line with 10 stolen bases, 34 runs scored and 32 RBI across 264 plate appearances.

Sandy Alcantara - Short outing against Dodgers Alcantara (5-8) allowed five runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across four innings to take the loss Thursday against the Dodgers.

Impact Alcantara held the Dodgers in check through three innings, allowing only one walk and one single. He surrendered an unearned run in the fourth inning but came undone in the fifth frame by surrendering four consecutive singles before being pulled. While it was far from Alcantara's best outing, he kept the ball in the yard and issued only one free pass. Even with the poor outing, he has a 3.09 ERA with 102 strikeouts across 116.2 innings for the season.
