Takes scoreless streak into break Bleier has not allowed a run over his last 10 appearances and 10 innings.
Impact The veteran is the Marlins' top left-handed option in the bullpen, and Bleier has been very effective in that role this season, posting a 2.43 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 27:2 K:BB through 33.1 innings with two wins and 11 holds. If Miami does some house-cleaning at the trade deadline, that could make the 34-year-old a target for a contender looking to bolster its relief corps.

Collects eighth hold Bleier allowed a run on two hits over two-thirds of an inning but still recorded his eighth hold of the season in Friday's win over Atlanta.
Impact The southpaw got tagged for his first earned run since May 18, but the Marlins had a two-run lead to play with at the time. Bleier has settled down after a bumpy beginning to the season, and over his last 16.1 innings and 19 appearances he's posted a 2.20 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB, emerging as the top left-hander in the Miami bullpen.

Houser homers, fans 10, Brewers stop 6-game skid, beat Miami
The Milwaukee Brewers snapped a six-game losing streak by beating the Miami Marlins 6-2MAY 9, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fans side for second win Bleier (2-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's victory over the Diamondbacks, striking out the side in a perfect inning of work.
Impact Anthony Bass started the eighth inning with the Marlins ahead 3-2, but the right-hander coughed up a run and loaded the bases without recording an out before getting the hook. Enter Bleier, who fanned Josh Rojas, Wyatt Mathisen and Pavin Smith to keep the game tied and position himself to become the pitcher of record when Miami blew the game open in the bottom of the frame. Bleier hasn't exactly been consistent as the top lefty in the bullpen, serving up four homers in 12 innings to fuel a 4.50 ERA, but his 11:0 K:BB is sharp and he has two holds in addition to his two wins over 13 appearances.

Could be in mix for saves Bleier could be in the mix for saves early in the season based on matchups, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact Anthony Bass began the regular season as Miami's primary closer, but he failed to convert on either of his save chances and allowed six runs in 2.1 innings. Manager Don Mattingly said that Yimi Garcia and Dylan Floro should be the top options for save chances going forward. However, Mattingly also said that Bleier could serve as the closer in some situations that are favorable to left-handed pitchers. Bleier has made four relief appearances to begin the season and allowed two runs while striking out three in four innings.

Marte helps Marlins rally for 1st win, 12-7 over Rays
Starling Marte had four hits and the Miami Marlins beat the Tampa Bay Rays at home for the first time since 2018 with a 12-7 victoryAPRIL 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Appears headed for bullpen role Bleier appears to have won a spot on the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.
Impact The 33-year-old has fairly consistently out-produced his FIP over his big-league career, posting ERAs lower than 2.20 in four of the last five seasons, and Bleier's main competition for high-leverage work against left-handed batters will come from erratic veteran Ross Detwiler. Bleier's lack of strikeouts limits his fantasy upside, but he could prove to be a semi-useful source of holds in 2021.
MARCH 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Reaches deal with Miami Bleier signed a one-year contract with the Marlins on Friday to avoid arbitration.
Impact The 33-year-old was acquired by Miami during the first week of the season and had a 2.63 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB with six holds over 13.2 innings. Bleier could have a high-leverage role in 2021 but is unlikely to be a factor in the ninth inning.
