Johnston tied for the Marlins organizational lead with 33 hits during the month of June while also going 5-for-5 on stolen base attempts.

Berry has reached base safely in 18 of 20 games since returning from a two-week absence. He homered on both Saturday and Sunday. Deploying him at third base continues to go poorly, though.

Through 12 starts this season, Olson has a 2.34 ERA with only one home run allowed. He has limited left-handed batters to a .221 slugging percentage. His slider is his most effective pitch.

Devers' extended rehab from a head injury seems to be finally nearing its conclusion. He joined the Hammerheads over the weekend and should be back with Jacksonville a week from now. The longtime Marlins prospect is a pending minor league free agent.
