Offishial News: Marlins rotation depth rotting away

Fish On First is providing extensive coverage on location throughout Marlins spring training. Click here to keep up with our latest updates.

🔷 On Sunday, Dane Myers went 3-for-4 with an opposite-field home run, raising his Grapefruit League slash line to .407/.467/.667. Sixto Sánchez tossed two perfect innings and he did it on only three days' rest (uncharted territory for somebody who previously worked on a starter's schedule). The Marlins lost, 7-6, on a José Iglesias walk-off home run.

 🔷 Every Sunday throughout the 2024 season, we'll be hosting State of the Fish on the @MarlinsSpaces Twitter account, taking your questions about the Marlins. Fish On First SuperSubs get top priority! Here is the full recording of the latest episode.

 🔷 We are bracing for bad news about Eury Pérez, who is being evaluated by doctors after experiencing right elbow soreness. Pérez had been attempting to pitch with a broken fingernail during his previous few appearances.

 🔷 In Pérez's absence, there are four left-handed pitchers firmly locked into the Marlins starting rotation. Over the course of the season, we are likely to see a new franchise record set for most starts made by lefties.

 🔷 Jolly Olive chronicles the rise and sudden fall of Josh Johnson. He's still the Marlins' all-time leader in career wins above replacement (both fWAR and bWAR).

 🔷 From Christina De Nicola of MLB.com: with the Marlins pitching staff thinned by injuries, look out for Ryan Weathers, George Soriano, Sixto Sánchez, Mychal Givens and Bryan Hoeing.

 🔷 Today's game: the Marlins (RHP Darren McCaughan) host the Astros (RHP Hunter Brown) at 1:10 p.m. No television coverage.

 🔷 Elsewhere around baseball, the Cardinals signed manager Oli Marmol to a two-year contract extension.
