Wednesday’s Games
Marlins Podcast Episodes
- Wednesday’s Marlins MiLB Notes: OF Tanner Allen (Pensacola) hit his first Double-A home run. The walk-less streak for INF Yiddi Cappe (Beloit) is up to 28 games. He’s got a .210 on-base percentage during that stretch. RHP Jacob Miller (Jupiter) completed six innings for the first time as a pro, getting there efficiently thanks to 12 groundball outs.
- For the first time since May 25, the Marlins find themselves below the .500 mark. They’ve lost eight of the last 10 games, scoring only 1.7 runs per game in that span.
- Andrew Nardi (left hand) and Jorge Soler (right hip) remain day-to-day. We’re monitoring the health status of all Marlins major league and minor league players via the injury/rehab tracker.
- Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Marlins are expected to place waiver claims on at least one of the available Angels relievers, those being Reynaldo López, Matt Moore and Dominic Leone. As I wrote on Wednesday, López makes the most sense for them (and that was before yet another David Robertson stinker). In just a few hours, we’ll find out if any of the waiver wire options were awarded to the Marlins.
- NL Wild Card race updates: the Cubs and Reds won, while the Diamondbacks, Giants and Phillies lost. Bryce Harper launched his 300th career home run. The Marlins are three games back of the third Wild Card spot.
- Elsewhere around the majors, Tommy Edman‘s walk-off homer snapped Josh Hader‘s three-month streak without allowing an earned run. With still all of September ahead of them, the Braves have established a new single-season franchise record with 250 long balls.
