Offishial News: Myers in the middle of massive Marlins comeback

On Tuesday, the Rockies pummeled Sixto Sánchez for five runs in the top of the first, while Ryan Feltner easily and efficiently silenced Miami's bats through eight frames. Then, the 2023 Marlins crashed the party. In an inexplicable comeback reminiscent of several we witnessed last season, the Marlins scored five times in the ninth and twice more in the 10th. Dane Myers—who was only in the game to replace an ejected Jazz Chisholm Jr.—drove home Bryan De La Cruz for the game-deciding run. The Marlins won, 7-6.

Down on the farm, Triple-A Jacksonville lost, 7-6. LHP Devin Smeltzer (1.1 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K) endured his worst relief outing of the season. Double-A Pensacola won, 5-3. INF Cody Morissette (3-for-4) is quietly hitting .359 over the last two weeks. LHP Chandler Jozwiak still has not allowed a run through seven appearances. High-A Beloit lost, 6-0. Low-A Jupiter lost, 11-1.

🔷 Recently designated for assignment, Kyle Tyler and Kent Emanuel both predictably cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville. remains in DFA limbo.

🔷 There is a carriage dispute between Comcast and Bally Sports channels, taking Bally Sports Florida and Bally Sports Sun off of cable for Comcast subscribers. As Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald details, viewers impacted by this can access Marlins games through the Bally Sports app or by subscribing to Bally's Marlins Season Pass. Still an extreme inconvenience.

🔷 Eno Sarris of The Athletic takes note of how Bryan De La Cruz is impacting more balls at productive angles and velocities in a way that should be predictive of a power increase.

🔷 Elsewhere around baseball, the World Baseball Classic championship game is expected to be held at loanDepot park again in 2026, per Craig Mish. Not yet clear whether the ballpark will be hosting as many total games as it did during the 2023 edition of the tournament. The White Sox lost and retook MLB's worst record from the Marlins. Mike Trout is injured again and will undergo left meniscus surgery (he'll certainly return later this season, but still a bummer). The game between the Diamondbacks and Dodgers was delayed nearly two hours because of...bees?! Like the Fish, the D-backs ultimately won in 10th-inning walk-off fashion at 2:22 a.m. ET.

🔷 Today's MLB game: the Marlins (probable starter RHP Roddery Muñoz) host the Rockies (RHP Dakota Hudson). I expect Muñoz to take Emmanuel Ramirez's spot on the active roster. The Marlins have a 56.7% chance to win, per FanGraphs. First pitch is at 6:40 p.m.
