Alex Jackson Hits His First Home Run On Tuesday

Miami Marlins rookie catcher Alex Jackson hit the first home run of his major league career in Tuesday's win over the New York Mets. Jackson went 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, all on his second inning solo shot. He also struck out twice, and finished the game with a .065 batting average […]

Dylan Floro Earns A Save For The Second Straight Day

Miami Marlins relief pitcher (and likely closer) Dylan Floro earned his fourth save of the season on Tuesday in a 5-4 win over the New York Mets. Floro got the last four outs of Monday's game as well, giving him two saves in two days as well as both of the save chances since Yimi […]

Nick Neidert Earns A Win On Tuesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Nick Neidert was called up to make Tuesday's start against the New York Mets and ended up earning his first win of the season. Neidert pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five. Neidert walked a tightrope all evening, as he […]

Jazz Chisholm Placed On COVID-19 IL

Miami Marlins shortstop Jazz Chisholm (COVID-19) was placed on the COVID-19 IL prior to Tuesday's game, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. McPherson reports that Chisholm was exhibiting symptoms prior to Tuesday's game. There's no word yet as to whether or not he tested positive for COVID-19, and managers should keep an eye […]

Nick Neidert Called Up, Starting Tuesday's Game

The Miami Marlins have called up pitcher Nick Neidert from Triple-A and he is slated to start Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The 24-year-old Neidert has bounced between the majors and Triple-A throughout the year. He's made six appearances (five starts) for the Marlins this year and has posted a 3.96 ERA and […]

Jorge Alfaro Starting In Left Field For Some Reason

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro will be the starting left fielder for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Alfaro is certainly athletic enough to handle a corner outfield spot, but with a .222/.269/.319 batting line, it's unclear why the team is trying so hard to get his bat into the lineup. The Marlins will […]

Jazz Chisholm Scores A Run On Monday

Miami Marlins rookie infielder Jazz Chisholm got two hits and scored a run in Monday's 6-3 win over the New York Mets. Jazz led off for the Marlins and went 2-for-4 with two singles and a run scored, improving his batting average to .254 and his OPS to .747. It seems like Chisholm will hit […]

Alex Jackson Gets His First Start As A Marlin

Miami Marlins catcher Alex Jackson got his first start as a Marlin on Monday against the New York Mets. Jackson was acquired from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Adam Duvall before the trade deadline. Jackson has posted solid numbers in the minor leagues throughout his career, but it has yet to transfer even slightly […]

Lewis Brinson Drives In Five Runs On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson had a huge game on Monday, driving in five runs. The Marlins showed their faith in Brinson by having him bat fourth, and he delivered right away, hitting a grand slam in the first inning. He added a single and another RBI later, scoring two runs on the night. Brinson's […]

Dylan Floro Earns A Save On Monday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro earned his third save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the New York Mets.

Jesus Luzardo Starting Monday's Game

The Miami Marlins have called up rookie left-handed pitcher Jesus Luzardo, and he will start Monday's game against the New York Mets.
