• Tuesday's Marlins MiLB notes: Troy Johnston (Pensacola) had a 3-for-5 night. He now has the second-most total bases (79) among all Marlins minor leaguers this season. Impressive rehab appearances for A.J. Puk with Pensacola (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K, 15 pitches/11 strikes) and Trevor Rogers with Jupiter (4.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K, 58 pitches/39 strikes). Barring setbacks, the former will be reinstated from the injured list within the next week. Remember to bookmark our injury/rehab tracker!
