Offishial News: MLB Network visits Marlins camp as pitching injuries pile up

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

🔷 On Tuesday, Nick Gordon went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a great defensive play. Jesús Luzardo had a solid start despite a mediocre final pitching line (skewed because two of his inherited runners scored). The Marlins lost to the Astros, 9-1.

🔷 JT Chargois (neck spasms) made his 2024 Grapefruit League debut, but frankly looked awful doing it. Beyond just subpar fastball velocity, his slider wasn't breaking normally or being located well. Not particularly surprising that he is now going to see a specialist. A season-opening injured list stint seems inevitable.

🔷 Edward Cabrera has been diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement. Same injury that sidelined him for five weeks last season. My Marlins roster projection has been updated accordingly.

🔷 The Marlins made their third round of spring training cuts, most notably including Max Meyer (FOF's #3 prospect). He'll headline their Triple-A Jacksonville rotation. Troy Johnston (FOF #10) also got reassigned to minor league camp.

🔷 It was the Marlins' turn to be featured on MLB Network's 30 Clubs in 15 Days series. Here are all of the interviews they did with Tim Anderson, Luis Arraez, Peter Bendix, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Skip Schumaker. I found this TA quote to be the most notable: "(The Marlins) invested in me. Not just money, but teaching me things, offensively and defensively. I'm soaking it all up."

🔷 In advance of Spring Breakout, OF Victor Mesa Jr. reflects on the remarkable year he had, on and off the field (via Christina De Nicola, MLB.com).

🔷 Today's game: Nationals (RHP Jake Irvin) vs. Marlins (RHP Eury Pérez) at 1:10 p.m. Out of the bullpen, Sixto Sánchez is scheduled to make his third spring appearance (and first multi-inning appearance). No television coverage.

🔷 Join us tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET for a new episode of Fish On First LIVE streaming on YouTube/Twitter/Facebook. FOF LIVE is presented by Berger & Hicks! If you’ve been injured as a result of somebody else’s negligence, give them a call at (305) 670-7050.
