Jesús Sánchez - Locked in as everyday player Sanchez is expected to fill an everyday role in left field for the remainder of the season after the Marlins dealt Corey Dickerson (foot) to the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Craig Mish of...
Impact Since Dickerson's foot injury was expected to sideline him until after the All-Star break, Sanchez's playing time was already well insulated, but the trade only boosts the rookie's job security further. After posting a monstrous 1.043 OPS at Triple-A Jacksonville before earning a mid-June call-up, Sanchez's production has predictably taken a step back at the big-league level, but he's at least shown an improved approach at the dish of late. Since striking out 11 times while drawing zero walks over his first seven games with Miami, Sanchez has a 2:2 BB:K over his past four contests.

Joe Panik - Dealt to Marlins The Marlins acquired Panik and an unspecified minor-league pitcher from the Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Corey Dickerson (foot) and pitcher Adam Cimber, Jon Heym...
Impact Since Panik is a 30-year-old on an expiring deal, the 33-44 Marlins likely won't make finding at-bats for him a major priority, but he'll at least provide the team with some additional flexibility off the bench. He has the ability to play all four infield spots, and he could be an option at third base in the short term while the Marlins await Brian Anderson's (shoulder) return from the injured list. Jon Berti is currently serving as the Marlins' primary starter at the hot corner, but he's cobbled together an underwhelming .230/.327/.353 slash line across 218 plate appearances this season.

Nick Neidert - Reports to Triple-A The Marlins activated Neidert (biceps) from the 10-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Even though Miami has a spot open in the rotation with Cody Poteet (knee) headed back to the IL, Neidert apparently won't be asked to fill the void. Instead, he'll continue to make regular starts at Jacksonville, with whom he tossed 3.2 innings of one-run ball in his lone rehab outing Saturday.

Cody Poteet - Headed back to IL with knee sprain The Marlins will place Poteet on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained right knee, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Poteet spent just over two weeks on the IL earlier this month with a sprained MCL, so his return to shelf would seem to imply that he aggravated the right knee injury during his most recent outing June 24 against the Nationals. Miami will need to add a replacement to the rotation for Poteet at some point later this week.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Swats another triple Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a triple, a run, a walk and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Nationals.
Impact Chisholm led off Sunday's series finale with a triple, and Jesus Aguilar drove him in with a one-out double for Miami's only run of the game. The 23-year-old has now hit triples in each of the last two games, and he's gone 5-for-16 with a home run, two triples, four RBI, three runs and five strikeouts across the last four contests.

Sandy Alcantara - Charged with loss Sunday Alcantara (4-7) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out three in 5.1 innings to take the loss against the Nationals on Sunday.
Impact Alcantara gave up an unearned run in the top of the first inning Sunday but held the Nationals scoreless across the next four innings. However, he allowed a pair of home runs in the sixth inning to put him in line for his seventh loss of the year. Sunday's appearance snapped a streak of seven consecutive starts in which he had lasted at least six innings, and the right-hander has now been charged with four losses across his last eight outings. Alcantara tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Atlanta on Saturday.

Alcantara sunk by two HRs in sixth inning as Nationals salvage split Alcantara allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings. It was the first time since last Aug. 30 that he gave up more than one homer in a game.

Adam Duvall - Not in Sunday's lineup Duvall is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Duvall went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Saturday to bring an end to a seven-game stretch in which he had a 1.260 OPS, four homers, 11 RBI and eight runs. Garrett Cooper will start in right field and bat cleanup for Miami.

Jon Berti - Knocks go-ahead homer Berti went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Nationals.
Impact Berti broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning when he went yard off of Washington starter Patrick Corbin. It was the fourth round-tripper of the season for Berti, who also picked up a single. The veteran utilityman, who got the start at third base, is slashing .224/.324/.350 across 214 plate appearances. Berti has five steals on the year but has also been caught four times.

Yimi García - Picks up save No. 12 Garcia allowed one hit and had two strikeouts in one inning to pick up the save in Saturday's win over Washington.
Impact Garcia yielded a leadoff single to Josh Harrison to start the ninth, but he responded by fanning Alex Avila and Kyle Schwarber before inducing a game-ending pop-out by Trea Turner. It was an efficient performance by the veteran reliever, who had allowed a run in two of his previous three outings. Garcia is 3-6 with 12 saves in 15 opportunities in 2021, and he sports a stellar 2.79 ERA and 1.07 WHIP.

Zach Thompson - Shines in Saturday start Thompson (2-2) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out a career-high 11 to pick up the win against the Nationals on Saturday.
Impact Thompson earned a quality start with his terrific performance, limiting Washington to an RBI-double by Juan Soto in the first inning and another by Starlin Castro in the fourth. The 27-year-old Thompson now owns an impressive 25:6 K:BB through his first 18 major league innings, and has allowed just three runs (two earned) over his past three starts.
