Caleb Smith Impressive Versus Indians

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith was fantastic Wednesday night in a 4-2 win versus the Indians. Smith gave up only four hits and one run in seven dominant innings. He struck out eight and walked two while improving his record to 3-0. Wins will be hard to come by in Miami, but Smith should […]

Martin Prado is Playing First Base on Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Martin Prado is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Neil Walker is sitting out and has only seen two plate appearances over the last three games. Prado will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Corey Kluber. Prado is hitting for a solid average this season […]

Garrett Cooper Thinks He'll Be Fine

Miami Marlins outfielder/first baseman Garrett Cooper had just returned from the injured list on Tuesday but had to leave the game early after being hit by a pitch on the outside of his left hand. X-rays came back negative, so Cooper is currently listed as day-to-day. He's having trouble making a fist with his left […]

Sandy Alcantara Gets Beat Up By Cleveland

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara's struggles continued during the 7-4 loss to the Indians on Wednesday, allowing seven hits, six runs, three walks, and two homers in only 5 1/3 innings of work. Since his first start of the season that saw the 23-year-old allow only four hits throughout eight innings, the righty has […]

Isaac Galloway Unproductive Against Cleveland

Miami Marlins outfielder Isaac Galloway struggled against the Indians on Tuesday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Since getting called up from Triple-A New Orleans in the middle of April, the 29-year-old has been a contributor to the Marlins' offensive woes this season by sporting a horrendous .211 average while collecting only eight hits in 38 […]

Starlin Castro Quiet Against Cleveland

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro was quiet on Tuesday, going 0-for-4 in the 7-4 loss to the Indians. Despite his ineffective performance in this one, the 29-year-old has 12 hits over his last 10 games. Though he won't get you much of anything else while playing for a struggling Marlins team, he should continue […]

Martin Prado Collects Two Hits Against Cleveland

Miami Marlins infielder Martin Prado collected two hits and an RBI in the 7-4 loss to the Indians on Tuesday. The 35-year-old has taken advantage of his resurgence in the starting lineup, accumulating eight hits while knocking in six runs over the last 11 games for a Miami team that has had its share of […]

Curtis Granderson Homers Against The Tribe

Miami Marlins outfielder Curtis Granderson went 1-for-3 with a home run, his fourth of the year, in the 7-4 loss to Cleveland on Tuesday. The 38-year-old has been relatively efficient at the plate over his last seven outings, going for four hits that resulted in extra bases while collecting four RBI in the process. He […]

Sergio Romo (RP, MIA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Perhaps unsurprisingly, Sergio Romo - not trendier upside plays like Adam Conley, Drew Steckenrider, Nick Anderson, or Taysom Guerrero - has emerged as the primary ninth-inning option for Miami. He's locked down their last three save situations, with clean innings in all of those games. […]
