Week 18 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

Cameron Maybin Not in The Lineup Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Cameron Maybin (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Miami Marlins infielder Miguel Rojas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Braves. J.T.

J.T. Realmuto May Stay Put

Teams that have called the Miami Marlins recently have come away with the impression that catcher J.T. Realmuto will not be traded. The Marlins have hope that they can start contract extension talks this winter if they hang onto him. Miami is asking for a king's ransom in exchange for Realmuto and rightfully so, as […]

Trevor Richards Posts Another Strong Outing

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Richards followed up a strong start in his previous outing with another on Sunday.
