MIAMI MARLINS NEWS

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Tweaks ankle in win Chisholm was removed from Saturday's win over Atlanta in the seventh inning after he tweaked his ankle, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a run, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout to begin Saturday's contest, but he was replaced as part of a double switch in the seventh inning. It's not yet clear whether the injury will force the 23-year-old to miss additional time, but Joe Panik could see some time at second base if Chisholm is unavailable.

Adam Duvall - On bench Saturday Duvall is not starting Saturday's game against the Braves, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Duvall has struggled against lefties to the tune of a .174 average this season, so he sits against southpaw Kyle Muller. The 32-year-old has been performing well of late, hitting .306 with six homers and 15 RBI in his last 14 games. Garrett Cooper will start in right field Saturday.

Jordan Holloway - Optioned to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Holloway to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The righty has allowed multiple runs in three of his last four appearances, most recently yielding five runs in three innings Wednesday against the Phillies. It was his first big-league game since May 21 after recovering from a groin injury, so perhaps some time with Triple-A will help him recapture his early-season success. David Hess, whom the Marlins traded for Saturday, joined the big-league roster in a corresponding move.

David Hess - Traded to Marlins The Marlins acquired Hess in exchange for pitching prospect Justin Sterner and cash considerations Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After not making the Rays in spring training, Hess posted a 2.81 ERA and a 37:5 K:BB in 32 innings with Triple-A Durham. Two of his 13 appearances were starts, so while the righty will likely join Miami's bullpen, he could serve as a potential spot starter at some point. Jordan Holloway was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Lopez has hit a batter in four straight starts, and on the year he carries a 2.97 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 94:22 K:BB through 91 innings.

Pablo López - Ejected from Friday's game Lopez was ejected from Friday's matchup against Atlanta after he hit Ronald Acuna with the first pitch of the game, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact Lopez's first pitch of the game ran inside and hit Acuna in the elbow, and the right-hander was tossed since Miami and Atlanta have had a history of similar incidents. It's not yet clear whether Friday's incident could result in further discipline for Lopez. If he doesn't face a suspension, he could be available to pitch on shorter rest than usual following Friday's brief outing.

José Devers - Begins rehab assignment Devers (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Jacksonville to begin a rehab assignment Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Devers landed on the shelf in mid-June with right shoulder discomfort, but he's nearing his return to the Marlins. The 21-year-old should only require a few rehab appearances given the brevity of his absence.

Zach Thompson - Start pushed to Sunday Thompson will start Sunday in Atlanta instead of Saturday as previously scheduled, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact The rookie right-hander will swap spots in the rotation with Sandy Alcantara, who will now take the mound Saturday. Thompson has pitched well in four starts since making his debut in early June with a 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 18 innings.

Sandy Alcantara - Starting Saturday Alcantara will start Saturday against Atlanta instead of Sunday as previously scheduled, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact The right-hander pitched last Sunday versus the Nationals and surrendered five runs (four earned over 5.1 innings, and he'll switch spots in the rotation with Zach Thompson this weekend. The move shouldn't have any broader implications for Alcantara, since he still lines up for one additional start before the All-Star break, which begins July 12.

Jesús Sánchez - Sitting versus lefty Sanchez is out of the lineup Friday against Atlanta.

Impact Sanchez was withheld from the lineup for Thursday's contest before it was postponed due to rain, and he'll remain on the bench Friday with lefty Drew Smyly starting for Atlanta. Adam Duvall and Garrett Cooper will start in the corner outfield spots for Miami.
