Nick Neidert - Recalled by Marlins Neidert was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Neidert has served as a starter for the major-league club to begin the season, and he's posted a 5.63 ERA and 1.88 WHIP in 16 innings across four starts. However, he'll likely be available out of the bullpen as a long reliever in the days leading up to the All-Star break after right-hander Jordan Holloway was sent down in a corresponding move.

Jorge Alfaro - Heads to bench Alfaro is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Alfaro sits for the early afternoon contest after starting three straight games behind the plate. Sandy Leon will catch Sandy Alcantara in his absence.

Jordan Holloway - Sent down Thursday Holloway was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Holloway made his longest appearance of the season as a long reliever in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers and allowed two hits and no walks while striking out six in 4.1 innings. However, the 25-year-old will now return to the minors, while right-hander Nick Neidert was recalled to provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen going forward.

Adam Duvall - Remains sidelined Duvall (illness) will remain on the bench for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact An illness has kept Duvall out of the lineup since Monday and will cost him at least one more game. Garrett Cooper will remain the right fielder in his absence.

Jesús Aguilar - Walks it off Wednesday Aguilar went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact After bringing home Jazz Chisholm in the third inning with a double, Aguilar played hero with a walkoff three-run blast in the ninth. Remarkably, it was the first of his 14 homers this season to come at home. The 31-year-old has seen his playing time dwindle a bit recently with Garrett Cooper healthy and raking, but Aguilar is still in the lineup most nights and is slashing .288/.333/.477 over 31 games since the beginning of June.

Jesús Sánchez - Socks third homer Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact His solo shot off Mitch White in the second inning gave the Marlins an early 2-0 lead. Sanchez snapped a 12-game power drought with the blast, and the 23-year-old is slashing .243/.303/.400 through 19 contests with three homers and nine RBI since his promotion.

JULY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Garrett Cooper - Goes yard twice in win Cooper went 3-for-3 with a walk and two solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact He took Jake Reed deep in the first inning and Phil Bickford in the sixth, feasting on the lesser names in the Los Angeles bullpen. Cooper is batting a dizzying .483 (14-for-29) in 11 games since returning from the IL while slugging four of his nine homers on the year.

JULY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Bender - Notches first win in MLB Bender (1-0) struck out three but gave up a solo shot to Zach McKinstry in the ninth inning Wednesday, blowing the save but recording the win in a 9-6 victory.

Impact With Yimi Garcia having pitched the day before and three times in the prior four days, Bender got the nod in a save situation and couldn't get the job done, but a walkoff blast by Jesus Aguilar handed the right-hander his first big-league win. The rookie has forced himself into a high-leverage role with a 0.99 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB through his first 27.1 innings in the majors, and should Garcia be out of the picture for any significant length of time, Bender may well take over the ninth inning for the Marlins ahead of Dylan Floro or Anthony Bass.

Ross Detwiler - Hit hard Wednesday Detwiler didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers, coughing up five runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 2.2 innings. He...

Impact The veteran southpaw was perfect through two innings, but the wheels came off in the third after AJ Pollock led off the frame with a solo shot. Detwiler came into Wednesday with a 2.93 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB over his prior 14 appearances and 15.1 innings, and he'll remain in a long relief/swingman role for Miami.

Adam Duvall - Feeling under the weather Duvall's absence the past two games is due to his feeling under the weather, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact There's been no indication of whether Duvall, hitting 8-for-17 in his last four starts, will return to the lineup Thursday afternoon against the Dodgers. Garrett Cooper, who homered twice Wednesday, figures to continue playing right field until Duvall is good to play again.

Adam Duvall - Remains out of lineup Wednesday Duvall is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Duvall will sit for the second straight game as Jesus Sanchez, Starling Marte and Garrett Cooper start in the outfield from left to right. With Miami expected to give Sanchez everyday at-bats during the foreseeable future, Duvall's role could be slightly reduced going forward.

JULY 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ross Detwiler - Slated to serve as opener Wednesday Detwiler will serve as an opener during Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Detwiler tossed three innings in his latest relief appearance last Friday, and the Marlins could be looking to get similar length out of the southpaw Wednesday. Miami's pitching plans following Detwiler aren't clear, but they likely include the use of multiple relievers.

Pablo López - Whiffs eight in no-decision Lopez did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's win over the Dodgers. He allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight across four innings.

Impact While Lopez found the strike zone well, it took him 91 pitches to get through four innings, hence the early exit. The right-hander has now hit a batter in each of his last five starts, including a bizarre loss last time out during which he was ejected after hitting Ronald Acuna with his first pitch of the game. Across 19 appearances this season, Lopez has compiled a 2.94 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. The 25-year-old is projected to make his next start at home Sunday against Atlanta.
