Every month, Fish Unfiltered takes Miami Marlins fans "Inside the Dugout," bringing you an extended, exclusive interview with Marlins manager Clayton McCullough. During our June sitdown, McCullough speaks with AJ Ramos, Kevin Barral and Isaac Azout about his team's red-hot performance in June, potentially getting Agustín Ramírez reps at first base and how Eury Pérez and Janson Junk are progressing during their injury rehab. He also discusses Leo Jiménez's role on the roster and all aspects of MLB All-Star festivities, confirming that he will not be part of the National League's coaching staff this year.

You can find Fish Unfiltered and Fish On First LIVE on the Fish On First YouTube channel, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever else you get your pods.

With a 14-4 June record entering Monday, the Marlins are easily on pace for their best month of McCullough's managerial tenure. They're in the midst of an eight-game winning streak at home, which is the longest in loanDepot park's history.

Injured right-hander Eury Pérez threw a pitch design session shortly after the interview. He could potentially rejoin Miami's starting rotation on Wednesday if he's deemed to be at full strength. Fellow starter Janson Junk is scheduled to throw live batting practice on Tuesday. If all goes well, he will make his first minor league rehab start on Sunday.
