Pablo López - Marlins-Phillies rained out Lopez and the Marlins won't play the Phillies on Thursday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact The two teams have yet to announce a make-up date for the postponed game. The Marlins will presumably push each of their starters back a day in the pitching schedule on account of the postponement, so Lopez should be in line to start Friday's series opener in Atlanta.

Jesús Sánchez - Sitting Thursday Sanchez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Marlins will rest two of their rookies in the series finale in second baseman Jazz Chisholm and Sanchez, who had started in each of the team's last 27 and 13 games, respectively. Garrett Cooper will draw a start in the corner outfield in place of Sanchez, who is hitting .235 with two home runs and seven RBI since his June 15 call-up from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Takes seat Thursday Chisholm is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Miami manager Don Mattingly is most likely giving Chisholm a maintenance day after the rookie infielder started in all 27 of the Marlins' games in June, during which he slashed .227/.292/.409 with a 28.3 percent strikeout rate. Despite the downturn in production, Chisholm's standing as an everyday player is secure, though the Marlins could consider moving him down in the batting order if his struggles persist heading into the All-Star break. Jon Berti will relieve Chisholm at second base and as the Marlins' leadoff man in the series finale in Philadelphia.

This Date in Baseball-Week Ahead
This Date in Baseball for week: July 2-8JULY 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Garrett Cooper - Three hits in win Cooper went 3-for-6 with a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Phillies.
Impact Getting the start at first base and hitting third, Cooper was one of five Marlins on the night to deliver a multi-hit performance. The 30-year-old has started three of five games since coming off the IL, going 7-for-13 with a homer, two doubles, four RBI and five runs, but despite his hot streak Cooper will likely continue splitting reps at first base with Jesus Aguilar as there seems to be little room for him in the Miami outfield with Jesus Sanchez getting a long look.
JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Starling Marte - Four hits against Phillies Marte went 4-for-6 with a run scored in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Phillies.
Impact All four knocks were singles, but Marte still figured heavily into the Marlins' 18-hit attack on the night. The big performance snapped an 0-for-18 skid over his prior five games, but the 32-year-old still finished June with a strong .292/.387/.448 slash line, four homers, nine steals, 10 RBI and 20 runs through 26 contests.
JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Adam Duvall - Slugs 18th homer Duvall went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Phillies.
Impact He launched his 18th homer of the year in the fourth inning off Aaron Nola. Duvall has gone yard in back-to-back games, capping a strong finish to June as he's slashed .325/.372/.825 with six long balls and 14 RBI over the last 11 contests.
JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Panik - Goes yard in Miami debut Panik went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Phillies.
Impact Making his Marlins debut after being traded from the Blue Jays, Panik got the start at third base and hit seventh and made a quick impact by taking Aaron Nola deep for a solo shot in the second inning. The veteran infielder figures to give his new club a second utility option alongside Jon Berti, but most of Panik's work should come at the hot corner until Brian Anderson (shoulder) gets healthy.
JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Pop - Records first MLB win Pop (1-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's 11-6 victory over the Phillies, giving up one hit over a scoreless fourth inning. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
Impact The Rule 5 pick did allow an inherited runner to score after entering the game with two on and nobody out, but Pop found himself in the right place at the right time for his first career win when the Marlins put together a six-run fifth inning. The 24-year-old has a 0.96 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over his last 9.1 innings while working low-leverage spots, but his 6:6 K:BB over that stretch indicates he's still a work in progress.
JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Holloway - Early exit in no-decision Holloway didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Phillies, coughing up five runs on four hits and five walks over three-plus innings. He struck out five.
Impact The right-hander had trouble finding the plate, throwing only 32 of 66 pitches for strikes before exiting, but Holloway avoided getting stuck with his third loss of the year when the Marlins got to Aaron Nola and the Phillies' bullpen in the fifth inning. Miami doesn't have a lot of healthy alternatives for its rotation at the moment, so Holloway will likely get another turn or two despite walking 15 batters in 20.2 big-league innings this season.

Joe Panik - Added to roster, starts Wednesday Panik was added to the 26-man roster Wednesday and drew the start at third base against the Phillies.
Impact Panik was acquired from Toronto on Tuesday in a trade that sent Adam Cimber and Corey Dickerson the other way. He is in the starting lineup at third base Thursday and figures to see substantial time there until Brian Anderson (shoulder) is activated from the injured list.
JUNE 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Marté - DFA'd by Miami Marte was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Wednesday.
Impact The 27-year-old also lost his spot on the 40-man roster in early June, though he had his contract selected June 19 and has since been in the majors. Marte has made only four appearances in two stints with Miami this year, going 1-for-6 with a walk and two runs.
JUNE 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jon Berti - Heads to bench Berti is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Berti will head to the bench for the first time since June 5, ending a stretch of 21 consecutive starts. The 31-year-old provided only five extra-base knocks (three home runs, two doubles) during that stretch, but he batted .324 and posted a .405 on-base average. The newly acquired Joe Panik will enter the starting nine for the first time as a Marlin, but Berti should have some job security at the hot corner based on how he's performed in recent weeks.
JUNE 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jesús Aguilar - Resting Wednesday Aguilar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Garrett Cooper will pick up a start at first base in place of Aguilar, who will wrap up June with a .270/.313/.427 slash line if he isn't used off the bench Wednesday. Aguilar was in the lineup for each of the previous three games and still appears to be the Marlins' unquestioned top option at first base.
