Marlins News: Miami Catches Tough Break With Garrett Cooper Injury Update It hasn't been exactly easy going for the Miami Marlins in 2021. The Marlins are just 26-34 overall on the year and trail the NL East divisi...
Jorge Alfaro - Gets Wednesday off Alfaro is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Impact Sandy Leon will catch for the Marlins after Alfaro had been behind the plate for three of the previous four games. Since being reinstated from the injured list May 24, Alfaro has gone 9-for-36 (.250 average) with two home runs, two stolen bases, three runs and five RBI in 12 games.

Lewin Díaz - Gets call to majors The Marlins recalled Diaz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, David Wilson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact He'll move up to the big club as a replacement for first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar strain. Diaz will likely serve mainly as a left-handed bat off the bench, as he's limited defensively to first base and isn't a threat to Jesus Aguilar's standing atop the depth chart at the position.

Garrett Cooper - Shut down with lumbar strain The Marlins placed Cooper on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a lumbar strain, David Wilson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Miami will bring up Lewin Diaz from Triple-A Jacksonville to fill Cooper's role as a reserve first baseman behind Jesus Aguilar. Cooper had been battling back stiffness heading into the weekend before joining the lineup Monday in Boston, so he may have suffered a related setback in that contest. He'll be eligible to return from the IL on June 18.

Braxton Garrett - Nabs start Wednesday Garrett is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Miami currently has six starters on the 10-day or 60-day injured list, two of its top pitching prospects (Sixto Sanchez and Edward Cabrera) on the 7-day minor-league IL, and another starting option in the midst of serving an 80-game suspension (Paul Campbell), so Garrett will get the chance to step into a depleted rotation. Garrett hasn't fared well in his three career outings at the big-league level, giving up eight earned runs on 11 hits and six walks over 10.2 innings.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Records two hits Tuesday Chisholm went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Colorado.
Impact Chisholm is only hitting .250 over his last nine games with a .325 on-base percentage during that same span. The speedster only has one steal since May 16, though perhaps his four runs scored and five hits over the past four games suggest he's starting to move past his injury-plagued month of May.

Jesús Aguilar - Two hits, two RBI against Rockies Aguilar went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
Impact Aguilar extended his hitting streak to four games and has recorded three multi-hit efforts in that span. He's also recorded two homers, six RBI and three runs scored during that four-game stretch. The slugging first baseman is hitting an impressive -- and likely unsustainable -- .355 through his first 31 at-bats in June, and that's a big step in the right direction after he slashed just .217/.247/.402 across 95 plate appearances in May.
JUNE 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo López - Dominant against Rockies Lopez (2-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Rockies after allowing two runs on five hits while striking out eight across eight innings.
Impact Lopez was just three outs away from hurling a complete game and was dominant across the board, tossing 68 of his 96 pitches for strikes and recording a season-best mark in walks. Plus, he's fanned at least eight in three of his last four outings. The right-hander has also gone five straight appearances allowing two or fewer runs, and he's slated to take the ball again during the weekend series at home against the Braves.

Braxton Garrett - Recalled by Marlins Garrett was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Jacksonville.
Impact The southpaw fills the roster spot of Daniel Castano (shoulder), whom the Marlins placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and figures to start Wednesday's game in Castano's stead. Having helf opponents scoreless in two of his last three minor-league starts, Garrett appears to be a capable fill-in for the Marlins' rotation.

Daniel Castano - Placed on injured list The Marlins placed Castano on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left shoulder impingement.
Impact The lefty heads to the IL just a day after being recalled from Triple-A. It's not yet clear how much time Castano will be sidelined and, further, whether he'll be on the big-league roster once healthy.

Cody Poteet - Resumes throwing Poteet (knee) began throwing lightly Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Poteet is wisely taking it slow as he recovers from a sprained right MCL. After debuting with three consecutive quality starts, the righty struggled in his two most recent outings, the second being interrupted after 2.2 innings by the knee injury.

Miguel Rojas - Starting baseball activity Rojas (finger) is beginning tee work and taking ground balls Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact This marks a notable step in Rojas' return from a fractured and dislocated left index finger. With a .275 average before the injury, Rojas was undeniably one of the Marlins' most consistent hitters and has been sorely missed since landing on the injured list May 28.
JUNE 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Brian Anderson - Preparing to begin hitting Anderson (shoulder) is moving well and preparing to start a hitting progression, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old likely remains at least a couple weeks from returning as he recovers from left shoulder subluxation. It's unclear whether Anderson will require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated, but the Marlins eagerly await the return of his bat to their struggling lineup.
