The Major League Baseball season is preposterously long. Nearly halfway through the 2025 campaign, it was not unreasonable to argue that the Dane Myers was the Miami Marlins' best all-around position player. The 29-year-old's hard work was finally paying off. The Marlins were giving Myers an opportunity to establish himself as an everyday big leaguer. June 16 was his 13th consecutive game in the starting lineup, with all but one of those appearances coming in center field. Most importantly, he was raking. Through June 16, Myers boasted a .333/.381/.481 slash line with a 142 wRC+ (42% better than league average). A right-handed batter who previously had awful production in limited opportunities against right-handed pitching, he was doing all he could to shed the "platoon guy" label. Since then, Myers has been the worst hitter in the majors (among those with at least 100 plate appearances during that span). His playing time has gradually dried up, and his only reps since the trade deadline have come in the corner outfield spots now that Jakob Marsee has taken over in CF. That slide down the defensive spectrum puts even more pressure on Myers to contribute at the plate. Less than two months ago, Myers and Kyle Stowers were seemingly in the same tier. Now, it's far more fitting to group Myers and Derek Hill together. Yikes. What the hell happened? All of the stats used below were updated entering Sunday's game. I don't like picking arbitrary endpoints to manufacture player hot streaks and slumps. In Myers' case, though, June 16 is significant. He took his 139th plate appearance of the season on that date and has taken 139 more since then, so the before/after sample sizes are identical. Also, there was an incident on June 16: Myers was hit on the left elbow by a Mick Abel fastball. He initially stayed in the game to run the bases, but was removed the next inning and sat out the following day before returning to the lineup on June 18. When a player's fortunes swing this dramatically, strikeouts are usually a factor. For Myers, not really! He had a 23.0 K% during his successful stretch, which has been followed by a 24.5 K%. The MLB average this season is a 21.9 K%. Myers was the beneficiary of some conveniently placed batted balls while he was on an All-Star-caliber pace. "Great Dane" had a .419 batting average on balls in play. Nobody has maintained that over the course of a full-length MLB season in generations. Fielders are too skilled and defensive positioning is too advanced. He could have kept playing to the best of his abilities and some regression still would've been inevitable. It works both ways. "Diminished Dane" has a .183 BABIP, which is unsustainably unlucky. If there was a real possibility of him continuing to hit this poorly, the Marlins would've already optioned him to the minor leagues. That being said, players make some of their own luck by impacting balls at ideal angles. Line drives, as they're defined by Statcast, are gold, resulting in a .631 batting average. With each passing month, Myers' line drive rate has declined. Even when Myers gets the launch angle he wants, he isn't making the same quality of contact as he previously did. His average exit velocity has plummeted from 92.6 mph to 88.3 mph. To use a pair of veteran hitters as points of reference, that's approximately the difference between Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Jonathan India. The location of those batted balls has changed, too. Close your eyes and visualize a typical Dane Myers hit—it's a line drive to right-center field. There have been a lot fewer of those recently. Per Sports Info Solutions, he's gone from a 33.0% pull rate—very low by MLB standards—to 42.6%. These before/after pitch distribution breakdowns from Brooks Baseball are fascinating. It is almost like opponents were conspiring to get Myers off to a good start to the season, leaving 26.5% of all pitches in the middle third of the strike zone. That rate has dropped to 20.9%. A lot of the "mistakes" made early on are now winding up just below the zone. This 6-4-3 double play from Saturday's game is a microcosm of what's ailing him: QXc1clpfVjBZQUhRPT1fVTFkUVhGQUNVVkFBRHdjRFVnQUhDRkpTQUFOVUJnTUFWZ0FFQ1FBRkJ3SlVWVmRR.mp4 There isn't a smoking gun with Myers' mechanics. For the first couple weeks of 2025, he utilized a toe tap and stood at a relatively straight angle facing the pitcher. Ever since, throughout both the highs and lows, he's had a modest leg kick and more open stance. Perhaps modifying his approach will be the key to snapping out of this funk. Myers stays composed in two-strike situations, but he has been less productive than most of his Marlins teammates when operating ahead in the count or swinging at the first pitch. His overall swing rate on in-zone pitches has also dipped. Understanding what kind of pitches he can barrel up and specifically hunting them could lead to more hard contact. The question is whether there's enough time remaining in the season for Myers to assert himself in the Marlins' future plans. The front office is simultaneously evaluating Heriberto Hernández at the same position, who's been far more consistent offensively. Fast-healing Griffin Conine could give Miami another mouth to feed in the outfield during the final few weeks of September. A rejuvenated Joey Wiemer is suddenly on the radar as well. With right-handed-hitting prospects Kemp Alderman and Andrew Pintar likely to debut in 2026, other clubs may covet Myers more than the Marlins moving forward, potentially culminating in an offseason trade.

The Atlanta Braves stink. It's been nearly a decade since the last time we were able to say that so matter-of-factly. Pretty much everything has not gone according to plan for them since Opening Day, and there has been no let up in bad news lately. The Braves and Miami Marlins last faced off from June 20-22. Since then, Atlanta owns the worst record in Major League Baseball (12-25). They face off again for five games over the next four days with Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley both sidelined by injuries and the home team's "best" projected starting pitcher being...Erick Fedde? This is a must-win series against arguably the weakest opponent remaining on the Marlins' 2025 schedule. Down on the farm, Triple-A Jacksonville won, 9-0. Recent waiver claim Joey Wiemer (3-3, 2 HR, 5 RBI, BB, HBP) reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances in his Marlins organizational debut. Patrick Monteverde tossed five scoreless innings, helping his own cause with the outstanding defensive play embedded below. Double-A Pensacola lost, 11-5. Brutal night for Alex Williams (3.0 IP, 10 H, 8 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 88 pitches/60 strikes). Payton Green, Colby Shade and Eric Rataczak each recorded hits in their Double-A debuts. High-A Beloit lost, 3-0. Brandon Compton drew three walks and stole a base. Low-A Jupiter lost, 8-5. More Marlins news and content below: 🔷 Ryan Weathers (left lat strain) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. Realistically, that still leaves him at least five weeks away from returning to the majors as a starter, but manager Clayton McCullough is "hopeful" that he will indeed return before season's end. 🔷 Third base has been one of the Marlins' weakest positions in 2025. However, in 19 games since Connor Norby was placed on the injured list, the Marlins are getting great production at the hot corner. Javier Sanoja has excelled on the short side of that platoon, but it's been mostly Graham Pauley's position. He is slashing .250/.348/.450 with a 123 wRC+ during this latest stint. His defense has been nearly flawless, saving runs with his reaction time and ability to make accurate, off-balance throws across the diamond. If Pauley can keep this up, it will be fascinating to see how the Marlins utilize him once Norby gets back. 🔷 On this day nine years ago, Ichiro Suzuki recorded his 3,000th MLB hit, and on this day 15 years ago, Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramírez played vital roles in a thrilling 10-inning victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. 🔷 The Prediction Time leaderboard has been updated through the first 37 series. Not much movement since the previous update considering how confident most folks were in the Marlins to continue their streak of series victories. Become a SuperSub and we'll keep track of your predictions all season long! 🔷 Elsewhere around baseball, Trevor Rogers continues to be spectacular since rejoining the Baltimore Orioles starting rotation. His ERA actually went up to 1.44 despite holding the Philadelphia Phillies to one run across six innings pitched. The Milwaukee Brewers became the first MLB team to reach 70 wins this season. Chicago Cubs right-hander Andrew Kittredge threw an immaculate inning. 🔷 Today's MLB game: the Marlins and Braves begin their supersized series at Truist Park (probable starters RHP Eury Pérez and RHP Carlos Carrasco). The Marlins have a 51.4% chance to win, per FanGraphs. First pitch at 7:15 p.m. ET. 🔷 This weekend, Jen Pawol will become the first woman to umpire MLB regular season games.

We lead off today with a bunch of Miami Marlins farm system updates. The Marlins claimed Joey Wiemer off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville. A few years ago, Wiemer looked to be emerging as an intriguing outfielder with plus power and defensive aptitude. He has had a lot of trouble tapping into that game power recently, though, with a .312 slugging percentage in Triple-A during each of the last two seasons. He's doubtful to get more than a cup of coffee in Miami down the stretch—rather, the Marlins are focused on fixing him for 2026, when he'll be out of minor league options. Brock Vradenburg was released barely two years after being selected him in the third round of the 2023 MLB Draft and signing for $916,000. Vradenburg boosted his draft stock with terrific offensive output in his junior season at Michigan State (13 HR and 175 wRC+ in 55 G), but his power hasn't translated at all to the pros (13 HR and 90 wRC+ in 225 G). It's unusual to see early-round picks receive such a short leash; then again, the decision-makers responsible for picking him are no longer with the organization. For the second time in as many days, a pending free agent reliever was traded for cash considerations. Right-hander Austin Roberts, a former minor league Rule 5 Draft pick, has been dealt to the Milwaukee Brewers. As a reminder, last week's MLB trade deadline only applied to players on 40-man rosters. Roberts accrued a farm system-leading 122 appearances over the last three seasons and excelled as Double-A Pensacola's closer for most of 2024. There's nothing deeply flawed about him—just wasn't going to be in the club's plans, so the Marlins got whatever compensation they could. Marlins affiliates in U.S. domestic leagues enter Tuesday with an even .500 winning percentage, but they are mostly doing it with legitimate prospects instead of older depth placeholders, as J.J. Cooper of Baseball America details. By weighted age, their affiliates have the third-youngest pitchers and tied for the fifth-youngest hitters. On the field, Kemp Alderman was named Southern League Player of the Week for the third time this season. Alderman ranks sixth among Southern League qualifiers with a 132 wRC+ this season. Julio Mendez was named Florida State League Pitcher of the Week. DSL Marlins won, 5-1. Luis Cova played his 100th career game in the Dominican Summer League. His overall stats are excellent—.265/.398/.434 slash line with 69 stolen bases and more walks (67) than strikeouts (60). DSL Miami won, 12-7. Eiver Mosquera (3.2 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 K) came down to earth after entering the day with a 0.87 ERA in his previous 20 ⅔ innings pitched, but his teammates scored 12 unanswered runs following his exit. José Castro hit his 13th homer, the highest single-season total on record for a Marlins prospect in a foreign rookie ball league. The Marlins are six games back of the San Diego Padres for a National League postseason spot. More Marlins news and content below: 🔷 Derek Hill made his return from a left middle finger sprain and homered in his first plate appearance. Jack Winkler was designated for assignment in a corresponding roster move. 🔷 Anthony Veneziano is no longer in DFA limbo after being claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Cardinals. In 34 MLB appearances with Miami, Veneziano posted a 4.18 ERA, 4.46 FIP and .278 BAA in 32 ⅓ innings pitched. 🔷 Sandy Alcantara was hit hard by the Houston Astros, particularly during a five-run top of the fourth inning. 🔷 Sean McCormack highlights the best picks that the Marlins made in last month's draft, ranging from first-rounder Aiva Arquette to 16th-rounder RJ Shunck. 🔷 Happy 28th birthday to Braxton Garrett. The former Marlins first-round draft pick has a lifetime 4.03 ERA, 3.84 FIP and .260 BAA in 326 ⅓ innings pitched across parts of five MLB seasons. He's been spending all of 2025 rehabbing from elbow surgery. 🔷 Just Baseball is organizing a meet-up at loanDepot park on August 23, offering a variety of giveaways for those purchasing tickets for that afternoon's Marlins game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Details here. 🔷 Elsewhere around baseball, the New York Yankees bullpen blew it again, allowing a game-tying home run to Joc Pederson in the ninth inning and a walk-off homer to Josh Jung in the 10th. Chicago Cubs trade acquisition Michael Soroka suffered a shoulder injury in his debut with the club and has been placed on the 15-day IL. 🔷 Today's MLB game: steady Cal Quantrill starts for the Marlins against the Astros, who'll be using an opener.

Another one! Austin Roberts was in a very similar situation as Rooney—pending free agent who they had no plans of calling up. Might as well get something while you can.

The accolades are piling up for Kyle Stowers. The Miami Marlins outfielder has come out of nowhere in 2025 to receive two National League Player of the Week awards, an All-Star selection, and most recently, NL Player of the Month honors for July, as announced on Monday. In 24 July games, the 27-year-old left-handed hitter slashed .364/.451/.818 with 10 home runs, two stolen bases and a 238 wRC+ (100 represents league average). His 1.8 fWAR was tied with Willy Adames for the NL lead and accounts for nearly half of Stowers' season total. Most notably on July 13, he tormented his former team, the Baltimore Orioles, with a three-homer game. 61184e64-9f196724-8bb4c787-csvm-diamondgcp-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4 The Marlins had a 15-10 record in July, their highest win total in any calendar month since Sept/Oct 2023. This ends an eight-year NL Player of the Month drought for the Marlins. Only four other Fish have previously won this award: Jeff Conine (6/95) Hanley Ramirez (6/08) Emilio Bonifácio (7/11) Giancarlo Stanton (5/12, 6/15 and 8/17) There is a separate monthly award for the Senior Circuit's best pitcher. The last Marlin to win one of those was Sandy Alcantara in June 2022. Stowers' month of August is off to an encouraging start. Over the weekend, he homered twice and drove in an NL-high eight runs to propel the Fish to a sweep of the New York Yankees. View full article

The Marlins already know what they have in Sanoja and they appreciate it. His place on the roster is fully secure. Meanwhile, this is a crucial evaluation period for Pauley. With Norby sidelined, it's his chance to show whether or not he can be a viable hitter, and to his credit, he's every bit as effective defensively at 3B as Sanoja. Quietly had a good game yesterday.

The Miami Marlins brought Jack McKeon to loanDepot park on Sunday to celebrate his long and colorful baseball career. Fittingly, his Marlins Legends Hall of Fame induction coincides with a series against the New York Yankees, who McKeon's team stunningly defeated in the 2003 World Series. McKeon's plaque reads: "John Aloysius McKeon managed the Marlins from 2003 to 2005 and again in 2011, guiding the franchise to its second World Series Championship--a 4-2 series win over the New York Yankees in the 2003 Fall Classic. Over his four seasons with the Marlins, the South Amboy, N.J., native produced a 281-257 (.522) record. Across his MLB managerial career, McKeon compiled a 1,051-990 (.515) record while managing the Kansas City Royals (1973-75), Oakland Athletics (1977-78), San Diego Padres (1988-90), Cincinnati Reds (1997-2000), and the Marlins. He finished with one World Series championship and two National League Manager of the Year awards (1999 and 2003)." McKeon is part of the Hall of Fame's inaugural class of 2025. Jeff Conine and Jim Leyland were inducted earlier this season. The fourth and final member, Luis Castillo, will be inducted on August 24. View full rumor

The Miami Marlins are capitalizing on their bullpen depth, something that they were widely expected to do before the MLB trade deadline. Instead, this move comes three days later as the Houston Astros announced on Sunday that they have acquired left-hander John Rooney for cash considerations. Trades can be made after the deadline as long as they involve players who are not on 40-man rosters. Rooney, 28, signed a minor league deal with the Marlins last offseason. Deep into spring training, he was battling for an Opening Day roster spot in a heavily right-handed bullpen, but the club ultimately assigned him to Triple-A Jacksonville. Rooney allowed just one run on three hits in 9 ⅓ innings pitched through the end of April. However, his lack of control was worrisome (eight walks and three hit-by-pitches allowed). His strike-throwing has gradually improved since then. Overall, he has posted a 2.45 ERA, 4.18 FIP and .174 BAA in 33 innings pitched (38 appearances). Rooney's primary pitch this season has been his slider (54% usage). He also has a sinker that averages 92 mph, a 90 mph cutter and a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency changeup. He has been extraordinary with the platoon advantage, limiting lefties to one extra-base hit all year. Uk9lTk5fV0ZRVkV3dEdEUT09X1VnSlJWbDFTQXdJQVhGVlRWQUFIQlFaV0FBTlFWbE1BVmxOUlUxRlVVQUJkQTFFQw==.mp4 With Rooney being a pending minor league free agent, the Marlins did not have much leverage in trade talks with the Astros. They would have had the opportunity to extend club control over him by selecting him to their 40-man roster after the season, but that was looking increasingly unlikely considering how many other relievers ahead of him on the depth chart are performing well. Meanwhile, the Astros had an immediate role for Rooney and have called him up to join their 'pen for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He will be eligible to pitch for his new club in the postseason. They have 88.1% odds of making it there, per FanGraphs. As for the other trade between these teams, Jesús Sánchez was Houston's starting left fielder on both Friday and Saturday, going 2-for-8 at the plate. He's playing right field on Sunday. Assigned to Low-A Jupiter, outfielder Esmil Valencia went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a caught stealing in his Marlins organizational debut. Right-hander Ryan Gusto and infielder Chase Jaworsky haven't played yet. Coincidentally, the only head-to-head matchup of the season between the Marlins and Astros takes place at loanDepot park beginning on Monday. View full article

Down on the farm, I have to take a few paragraphs to give Robby Snelling his flowers before recapping the rest of Thursday's Miami Marlins minor league action. This performance against the Nashville Sounds (6.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 11 K, 95 pitches/65 strikes) might have been his best since being promoted to Triple-A Jacksonville, and that's saying a lot. When Snelling previously struck out 11 batters on July 26, he leaned heavily on an explosive fastball. His velocity was less extraordinary this time around (averaging 94.1 mph), so his curveball was just as important as a putaway pitch. As you can see below, the 21-year-old lefty was repeatedly enticing guys to chase outside the strike zone thanks to its luscious shape. Moving up a level has done nothing to rattle Snelling. He had a 2.92 FIP in 14 starts with Double-A Pensacola and he has a 2.99 FIP in five starts with the Jumbo Shrimp. mrt0d9.mp4 Snelling is certain to make at least one more minor league start. As discussed last month in relation to Joe Mack, the Marlins are incentivized to preserve Snelling's rookie eligibility for 2026—delaying his call-up until August 15 would satisfy that. Also, Snelling does not have any professional experience pitching on four days' rest. That box almost always gets checked before a prospect is plugged into a regular MLB rotation spot, so if his next outing comes on Tuesday, we're officially on call-up watch. Ultimately, I believe the timing of Snelling's debut is closely connected to the status of Cal Quantrill. A spot opens up if another team claims Quantrill off waivers or if he has a couple more ineffective starts similar to what he did against the Houston Astros on Tuesday. There is still a scenario in which the rising star finishes out the season in the minors. Also for Jacksonville in their 7-2 win, Maximo Acosta homered and Nathan Martorella went 3-for-5. Martorella is 6-for-14 with a 1.071 OPS since arriving at AAA. Double-A Pensacola lost both ends of their doubleheader, 2-1 and 7-0. Dax Fulton carried a shutout into the sixth inning before a regrettable hanging breaking ball. High-A Beloit won, 8-1. Four different Sky Carp had multi-hit games, including 2025 draftee Wilson Weber. Low-A Jupiter won, 4-1. Esmil Valencia hit his first home run with the Marlins organization. DSL Marlins won, 13-12. DSL Colorado rallied for eight runs with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. The home team ultimately prevailed in 11 innings. With no pitch clock in the Dominican Summer League, it took a not-so-tidy five hours and 41 minutes. DSL Miami lost, 4-0.

We even did an instant reaction Twitter space about it. 🔷 Odd to see none of the Braves batters swing-and-miss against Eury Pérez's fastball. That has been a consistently dominant pitch for Pérez this season, generating at least three whiffs in each of his previous 10 starts with an average of 6.2 per start. 🔷 In an MLB Now interview, Kyle Stowers attributes his breakout season to a change in mindset and prioritizing be on time for fastballs. 🔷 July was the most-watched month for the Marlins on cable since September 2023, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Also, the streaming audience in the FanDuel Sports Network app was up 62% over last July. 🔷 Elsewhere around baseball, Paul Skenes held his opponent scoreless for the fifth time in his last seven starts. His 1.94 ERA this season is best among all MLB qualifiers. Athletics rookie Jacob Lopez had an even more dominant performance (7.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 K). The Seattle Mariners swept the Chicago White Sox and improved to a season-high 10 games over .500. 🔷 Today's MLB game: it's the second of five contests between the Marlins and Braves (probable starters RHP Edward Cabrera and RHP Bryce Elder). Cabrera has strangely only faced Atlanta once over the last two seasons combined when he went five scoreless innings at Truist Park last August. The Marlins have a 42.8% chance to win, per FanGraphs.
