MIAMI, FL - Going into the 2026 season, Kyle Stowers was expected to be the Miami Marlins' biggest contributor offensively. He was coming off an All-Star season where he hit 25 home runs and posted a 149 wRC+. After a slow start to his season, Stowers is looking like the player we saw in 2025. He hit his 12th home run of the season in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners. Stowers missed almost all of spring training due to a hamstring issue, reaggravating it right before the season. Even after being reinstated from the injured list, he wasn't producing with only three home runs and a .663 OPS through 37 games. Those struggles were partially physical, but also mental as Stowers tried to replicate what he'd done in 2025. "Not giving myself enough grace for missing all the spring training," Stowers said. "Not having a ton of at-bats, trying to chase after what it looked like and what it felt like from last year. The reality of this league is that things change. You have to make adjustments, the league's making adjustments to you and what flipped for me, if I'm being honest with you was I kind of let go of trying to be the guy from last year that I was. What problems are being presented to me on a nightly basis and how can I respond to those and that kind of freed me up. My goal was to just get back to being a league-average player, not being .900 OPS Kyle Stowers, go be a league average player. I just want to be better tomorrow than I am today." Going into Wednesday, Stowers had returned to peak form over the previous 30 games, slashing .270/.358/.583/.941 with eight home runs and 29 RBI during that span. In the bottom of the second inning, he took Mariners starter George Kirby deep for a go-ahead solo home run. "He's been on one really since June," Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said of Stowers. "He's looked much like the All-Star of last year, and I think that we were all very confident that it was going to come around and he's coming at the right time. It's coming at a great time for our team, and happy for Kyle. Stubbed through a slower start after the setbacks, and he's playing at a really high level." Amid all the setbacks and struggles, the Marlins moved Stowers to first base, continuing their trend of maximizing positional versatility. After spending most of the 2025 season in left field—and even finishing as a National League Gold Glove finalist—the move was initially a surprising one. It didn't take long, however, for it to make perfect sense, thanks in large part to Stowers' strong play at the position. On Wednesday, he was put into some tough situations right away. In the top of the first inning, Randy Arozarena shot a 104.7 mph grounder to shortstop Otto Lopez that he had to quickly throw to Stowers. who had to quickly turn his glove to make the catch. In the same inning, Stowers stole a base hit from Josh Naylor to end the inning. "Felt like it might be worth the shot not knowing how the season might play out," McCullough said of the first base transition, which began in spring training. "It was pretty evident watching him just move around, how smoothly his hands were working that this had a chance to potentially be something. The more time he's gotten over there he's really taken to it." Entering Wednesday, Stowers hadn't quite graded out as an above-average first baseman, posting minus-1 Outs Above Average and minus-7 defensive runs saved. That's to be expected, though, as he continues to adjust to a new position. The eye test suggests the transition has gone much more smoothly than the metrics indicate, and as he gains more experience, the numbers may eventually reflect that as well. "I know I haven't played a lot there, but you want your infielders to feel comfortable throwing the ball across to you," Stowers said. "I just want to give my best effort every single time. We have a very talented infield, they don't need me to be elite over there at picking the ball, but the times when they have tougher plays, or there's a throw up, I do the best I can for them." Since the Marlins designated Christopher Morel for assignment and Liam Hicks landed on the injured list, Stowers has begun playing first base on a much more consistent basis, leading to plenty of what he describes as "unique plays." One of those plays came in Colorado. With runners in scoring position, Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg attempted to steal second, but a late jump left him caught in a rundown. As the play unfolded, Hunter Goodman broke for home from third. Stowers quickly fired to the plate to cut him down, erasing the runner at home while allowing Carrigg to advance only to second. "Plays like that, where to line up on cuts and relays I think I'm still getting up to speed on. Trying my best to talk with Clayton Carson (Vitale) and (Blake Butler) as much as I can just to learn along the way. I want them to coach me hard with where to be in certain plays because I think with the way our roster is constructed right now, it makes it makes sense right now for me to be playing first." The second run of the ballgame was thanks to an Xavier Edwards RBI triple, his sixth of the season. Edwards six triples are a career high and it extended the Marlins MLB lead in triples to 23 on the year. Starting for the Marlins was Tyler Phillips, who went five shutout innings, allowing four hits and two walks. He also struck out three. With the win, the Marlins improved to 51-42, nine games over .500, and with the Philadelphia Phillies falling to the Cincinnati Reds, the Marlins now have the second National League Wild Card Spot. The Atlanta Braves defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates keeps them three games back of the NL East division lead. The Marlins go for the sweep on Thursday at 6:40 pm with Janson Junk making his first start off the injured list. View full article

MIAMI, FL — Of all the positives that you can mention during the Marlins three-city roadtrip, Jakob Marsee, who went 5-40 with one home run, was not one of them. Despite the struggles, he has been an everyday player. Even when he was hit in the knee during the final game of the roadtrip against the Athletics, he was back in the lineup hitting seventh on Tuesday night and he would be on the right side of luck, having a multi-hit performance and walking it off for the Marlins to defeat the Seattle Mariners, 6-5, reaching 50 wins on the season. "I just know I can help the team win and hate not playing," Marsee said postgame. "Our trainers do such a good job to help us get back on the field and everything throughout the game as well, so I just want to help the team win any way I can, and any chance I can be in the lineup I want to play." In the bottom of the 10th inning with runners on the corners and one out, Marsee hit a towering RBI single that he had originally thought was a home run, but as he said postgame, "we only needed a run." "We all know how much he's been grinding this year offensively, and to come through there in that spot and get himself in a good count, get a pitch elevated and drive it to the outfield, I know that had to feel good for him," manager Clayton McCullough said postgame. "We talk a lot about how much Marsee does within the game, and for him to come through offensively, couldn't be prouder of him. He just keeps hanging in there and came through." This season, Marsee is slashing .196/.318/.299/.617 with 5 home runs, 24 RBI, 18 stolen bases and a 77 wRC+. Although the numbers haven't been there offensively, Marsee has continued to provide a 12.6% walk rate, speed on the bases, and above average defense in center field. Those other parts of his game are the reason he is still at the Major League level. In terms of expected batting average (.218), he has been a bit unlucky, but he hasn't been hitting the ball as hard as last season. He went from a 41.4% hard hit rate in 2025 to 34.4% in 2026. "It's been tough," Marsee said. "This game is really frustrating. You feel like you do a lot of things right, and things don't go your way. Just a tough game in general. When you have a great group that makes it so much fun to come to the yard every day, they really have had my back the whole time, and we've been winning, so that's all I care about. I'm glad we've been winning games throughout the process." Miami at one point led this game 4-0, and with how the team was clicking, a shutout was in their future. Max Meyer made his second to last start before the break, going five innings, allowing two runs on four hits (one home run), two walks and struck out four. In the bottom of the fifth inning, he surrendered a home run to Cole Young, his 10th of the season, making it 4-2. Meyer, who is slated to start in Sunday's series finale against the Cleveland Guardians, will not pitch in the All-Star Game, but will go to Philadelphia and be part of all the festivities taking place. Major League Baseball made the official announcement prior to the game that Meyer, Jacob Misiorowski and Paul Skenes all will not pitch in the Midsummer Classic. The Marlins All-Star was not able to record an out in the top of the sixth inning, leaving the game with the bases loaded for Michael Petersen. The UK native went in there, induced a force out, struck out Cal Raleigh swinging, and induced another force out to get out of the inning unscathed. "Big Mike has been more than a key contributor, he's been a fantastic piece in our bullpen this year," McCullough said. "I've asked a lot from him in some really tight spots, coming in with a lot of runners on base, and today, bases loaded nobody out... You give up one run there, you're actually like, 'okay, that's most likely going to happen,' but Mike has just been filling it up with premium stuff and he's did it on the entire road trip, and really now through this run we've been having, we've leaned on him a lot and he's really performed." After Petersen, McCullough turned to John King, who in an inning of work surrendered one run on one hit. The one run he surrendered was actually given up by Calvin Faucher, who inherited a runner from King in the eighth . Faucher then hit J.P. Crawford, struck out Dominic Canzone swinging, surrendered an RBI double to Raleigh, and an RBI single to Josh Naylor, tying the game, 4-4. Faucher went on to throw a wild pitch with the bases loaded, bringing in the go-ahead run for the Mariners and allowing them to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the eighth. In the bottom of the inning, the Mariners brought in lefty Gabe Speier and Miami brought in Heriberto Hernandez to pinch hit for Griffin Conine. On the sixth pitch of the at-bat, Hernandez took Speier 422 feet deep to the left field concourse to tie the game, 5-5. For Hernandez, this was his 12th home run of the season, and his third pinch-hit home run. He is now tied with Justin Bour (2018) and Preston Wilson (1999) for the second-most pinch-hit home runs by a Marlins player in one season, trailing only Curtis Granderson’s four in 2019. Hernández's four career pinch-hit home runs are tied for the second-most in franchise history with Granderson, Wes Helms, and Cody Ross, trailing Bour's five. "Bert in ways is conducive for being a good pinch hitter," McCullough said... "He's got a short swing, got power, very aggressive and usually in pinch hitting, there's not a lot of time to try to work an at-bat. The deck is stacked against you, and to come up there, ready to hit, and he can hit velocity and some mistakes spin in the strike zone, seeing him do that versus left, it was a really good at-bat. It's not being lost how difficult it is, but I think Bert after a year plus of having done this with some regularity, is accustomed to what he needs to do to get himself prepared for that moment." The Mariners, who going into the series had a 3.55 ERA from their starting pitching, fifth best in MLB, saw starting pitcher Bryan Woo struggle. The Marlins offense, which has been red hot, tacked on four runs on nine hits (one home run). Owen Caissie got the scoring started in the bottom of the second inning with his 12th HR of the season. Caissie is now slashing .239/.297/.459/.756 with a 101 wRC+. He is one of four Marlins to have hit double-digit home runs. The struggling Jakob Marsee connected on a much needed RBI single in the bottom of the third, extending the Marlins lead, 3-0. A sacrifice fly from Kyle Stowers in the fourth inning made it a 4-0 lead. Behind the plate, Joe Mack continues to not only throw runners out, but now made a little bit of history. In the top of the fourth inning, Mack threw out Randy Arozarena for his 17th caught stealing of the season, tying him with Milwaukee Brewers backstop William Contreras for most in the majors. He would be the first Marlins catcher since Charles Johnson (1997) to lead the Majors in caught stealings. Johnson finished that season tied with Seattle's Dan Wilson and Pittsburgh's Jason Kendall. "It's no coincidence that our defense in a lot of ways has picked up since Joe's arrival," McCullough said. "We knew he had that type of pedigree and ability of throwing out runners. He had some great blocks as well with some runners on base." With the win, the Marlins improve to 50-42 on the season. The St. Louis Cardinals were swept in their doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers, falling two games behind Miami for the third National League Wild Card Spot. The Marlins now also find themselves three games back of the National League East division lead as the Braves have lost three straight games. First pitch with Tyler Phillips on the mound on Wednesday is at 6:40 pm EST. View full article

For the 2026 season, Fish On First will provide weekly reports on the Miami Marlins farm system, covering all levels. This is the final check-in we'll be doing before the All-Star break arrives. This report covers the games played from June 30-July 6. Triple-A Jacksonville Kemp Alderman continues to have a strong season in Triple-A, now slashing .301/.377/.515/.892 with 12 home runs, 33 RBI and a 135 wRC+. Having added the ability to play first base on top of his corner outfielder background, Alderman would already be playing in the big leagues for many other organizations. However, the Marlins continue to get excellent offensive production from those positions. Don't forget about Deyvison De Los Santos, who already debuted this season. De Los Santos hit a home run in back-to-back games to finish the week and is riding a five-game hit streak for the Jumbo Shrimp. He is now slashing .271/.322/.438/.761 with nine home runs, 40 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 101 wRC+. The biggest improvement by far is his career-low 19.0% strikeout rate. More than two months since getting sent down, Agustín Ramírez is slashing .252/.327/.457/.784 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 106 wRC+. He is striking out 21.1% of the time while walking 8.8%. The last time Marlins manager Clayton McCullough was on Fish Unfiltered, he said that the organization had begun to consider moving Ramirez to first base, but that has yet to happen in a game itself. Ramirez has allowed 40 stolen bases while throwing out 10 and has seven passed balls plus 11 errors so far in Triple-A. The defense behind the plate is not getting much better for him. Since being optioned himself, Connor Norby has played in six games (four starts), slashing .333/.417/.381/.798 with three RBI. He has not played first base in any game—only third base and second base once. On the mound, it's been all downhill for Karson Milbrandt since his scoreless Triple-A debut. Most recently on Saturday, he allowed five runs on six hits, walked three and failed to record a strikeout. In five Triple-A starts, the Futures Game representative has a 4.15 ERA, 4.71 FIP, 7.89 K/9 and 8.31 BB/9. Milbrandt has now walked three or more hitters in every start since arriving to Jacksonville. Jack Ralston continues to be a steady force in the Jacksonville bullpen, now posting a 1.18 ERA, 3.84 FIP, 11.04 K/9 and 3.74 BB/9 in 45 ⅔ innings pitched. Ralston, who the Marlin signed to the minor league deal back in the offseason, made a strong impression during spring training, but did not make the Opening Day roster. He continues to wait his turn even as injuries have opened up bullpen spots for the likes of Cade Gibson, Tyler Zuber and Zach Brzykcy. In his last four starts with Jacksonville, Braxton Garrett has only two walks and has struck out 27. It's a dramatic change from what he showed during a brief stint in the Marlins rotation. Garrett now has a 1.55 ERA, 4.06 FIP, 9.70 K/9 and 3.52 BB/9 in 12 starts with Jacksonville. The Marlins don't yet seem convinced that he'd be an upgrade to their rotation, and now with Janson Junk closing in on his return from the injured list, it's unclear if another big league opportunity will open for him this season. Double-A Pensacola It was an eventful week for Pensacola who waited out some long rain delays and postponements and took part in some brouhaha in their penultimate game, which resulted in six ejections and a possible suspension. Overall, pitching struggled for the Wahoos as they dropped five of six games to Rocket City. We're running out of adjectives to describe what Cam Cannarella is doing. Another week, another standout effort: 6-for-17, two solo homers and a double. The 22-year-old, largely scouted as hit over power, is now slugging .599 on the year. He’s hit all eight of his Double-A home runs in a 14-game span. What’s arguably most impressive about Cannarella’s added power is that it’s not fluky whatsoever. When he goes pull side, he hits no-doubters, but he’s also showing a penchant for frequenting his opposite field. A generous plate coverage bat already, this addition of power could not be going any more advantageously for Cannarella. Not sacrificing patience and swing decisions, he’s turning in to a complete offensive weapon. All of this is happening while he is playing a plus-plus center field, as evidenced by his latest acrobatic catch this week. This is a breakout on another level. With continued production, Cannarella should be considered the favorite to be the Marlins’ starting center fielder in 2027. One pitcher who didn’t struggle for Pensacola this week was Eliazar Dishmey. After a one-inning rain-shortened start on Thursday, the righty responded on Sunday with his best outing at the Double-A level, pitching into the seventh inning on just three hits. He did not allow a hit until his final frame. Dishmey struck out eight, and perhaps most encouraging of all, did not walk a batter (he had walked a season-high six in his start the previous week). It was a rude welcome to the high minors for the 21-year-old, who is playing against competition over three years older than him on average, but Dishmey showcased the maturity and ability necessary to adjust back to far more advanced hitters. This start proved that, when commanding, his deep arsenal is capable of dominating Double-A bats. Dishmey used his entire five-pitch arsenal well, keeping guys off balance and proving he can get whiffs with any of his offerings. He featured three different out pitches, recording strikeouts with fastball, slider and curveball. The improvement of the slider has been a key cog in Dishmey’s development this season as he’s shown the ability to throw the pitch with high spin and late break to his spot. It also features some sharp downward actions, allowing him to throw it outside of the zone for uncompetitive whiffs. Dishmey can also change speeds and eye levels well, particularly with his heater which he can ramp up to 97 mph or take something off of to dip down into the low 90s. A crafty pitcher with a still-developing four-pitch mix, he can get guys out in a variety of ways. Command will need to consist for Dishmey to remain effective, but at just 21 already succeeding at Double-A, he has a high floor. After the likes of Thomas White and Karson Milbrandt, this is one of the next best pitchers in the Marlins’ system. High-A Beloit Beloit battled through a suspended game and a postponement at home against South Bend but was able to kick off July in a very positive fashion, taking five of six games against the Cubs for their second straight series win. Pitching was the key for the Sky Carp as they tossed three shutouts. As a team, they allowed just over 20 runs over the six game set. Beloit is 11-6 in their last 17 games. After a delayed start to his career due to a season-ending injury in 2024 and having to be built back up during the first half of 2025, Aiden May is quietly putting everything together in Beloit. Early-season flashes in between struggles with control and command are turning into consistency for the 23-year-old. Since his second start of May, the righty has been turning in quality results that equate to 23 ⅔ innings and four earned runs (1.55 ERA). May’s latest export was his second quality start of the season and first since April 19. Over six frames, he allowed just three hits and two walks while striking out four. Most encouraging of all for May was his ability to command all four quadrants of the strike zone and induce regular weak contact, including eight ground ball outs. It has been very refreshing to see May start to round into form but what is even more remarkable is how much further he could possibly go. With a fantastic pure stuff profile including a sinking fastball that can touch 98 mph and a fantastic sweeping slider that holds astounding horizontal movement, the 6’1”, 196-pounder’s profile, career arch and development so far are all akin to Max Meyer who the Marlins fully unlocked this year and turned into a top-of-the-rotation starter. To stick as a starter, the persistent harnessing of his control and command as well as the further development of a third-pitch changeup which has flashed plus already this year, will be key. Because of the already plus-plus two-pitch combo, May at the least could be a very solid multiple-inning reliever, providing him with a high floor. That same stuff profile gives him a pretty solid ceiling as a mid-back-end-rotational starter if everything works out. For now, the Marlins have to be very pleased with how May is starting to project. Another early-round Marlins pick starting to turn heads is Carter Johnson, Miami’s second-rounder in 2024. It was an uninspiring start for the high schooler who was assigned to full-season ball right out of the draft and continued there for all of 2025. In his first 134 games as a pro, Johnson was humbled to the tune of a .186 batting average and 174/54 K/BB. Johnson returned to Jupiter to begin 2026, where he finally found success against Florida State League pitching. In 63 games, he slashed .243/.355/.426. With improved plate discipline and swing selections, Johnson held down a 79/39 K/BB, spurring his promotion to High-A. With the Sky Carp, his success has permeated. In his first nine games in Beloit, Johnson is slashing .314/.400/.714. This past week, he earned our Prospect of the Week honors by going 8-for-19 with three long balls. Along with his much enhanced timing and temperament at the plate, Johnson has exhibited a much shorter swing. This has allowed him to get his bat on many more pitches, particularly pitches on his inside that would previously tie him up in knots. Closing that hole in his approach has allowed Johnson to make the most of quick hands and come by some pretty good power numbers. Previously a very easy matchup, he is quickly becoming a tough out. Johnson looked fine as a shortstop with Jupiter but with Beloit, he’s spent all but two games at third base. He’s looked fine there as well, particularly showing off solid arm strength. Low-A Jupiter One prospect who continues to shine at the Low-A level is infielder Echedry Vargas, who is slashing .300/.353/.502/.855 with eight home runs, 36 RBI and a 126 wRC+. The Marlins acquired Vargas as the main piece in a trade with the Texas Rangers sending Jake Burger to the Lone Star State. After struggles at the High-A level, the Marlins demoted the 21-year-old to Low-A, where he seemingly has shown plenty of improvements. As nice as it is to see Vargas surge offensively, it's hard to believe in him as a long-term contributor until he gets tested at High-A again.. After a strong start for Luis León, he is now slashing .273/.314/.364/.678 with one home run, six RBI and an 85 wRC+. An international signing out of Cuba in 2024, Leon struggled in 2025, but after repeating the FCL to begin 2026, he had a 106 wRC+ in 34 games before being promoted to Jupiter. Between both levels, he is slashing .254/.362/.420/.782 with four home runs, 23 RBI, 24 stolen bases and a 102 wRC+. His FCL numbers carry that slash line for the most part. Left-hander Elier Morillo appeared in one game against Dunedin, where he went 1 ⅔ shutout innings, striking out four and only allowing one walk. Fish On First recently spoke to Morillo in detail about his development with the Marlins org. Overall, he now has a 4.30 ERA, 3.99 FIP, 17.49 K/9 and 7.06 BB/9. Despite almost always working in relief, he ranks fifth on the Hammerheads with 57 total strikeouts. FCL Marlins Yohanfer Santana has struggled with command throughout his career, walking 62 batters in 60 innings. That's a common profile at the lower levels of the Marlins system. On the other hand, he possesses some of the best strikeout stuff you'll find. This year in the FCL, Santana owns a 15.0 K/9. His H/9 is down by more than a hit compared to last year, but the walks continue to hold him back, as he owns a career 9.30 BB/9 in the minors. This week he showed a glimpse of his potential, throwing two innings while striking out five, walking none, and hitting one batter. Santana is still just 20 years old, and the raw stuff is there. However, with this being his fourth professional season and the command still not taking a step forward, it will be interesting to see what the organization's plan is moving forward. John Cruz is riding an eight-game hitting streak dating back to June 19 and has raised his season average to .295. His .495 slugging percentage is nearly double what it was last year, while his .890 OPS is approaching the level he reached during his breakout season in the Yankees organization in 2023. This is the version of John Cruz the Marlins believed they were acquiring in 2024. Adrian Bello is putting together another nice season in the FCL after breaking out in the DSL last year. He is hitting .295 with seven doubles, one home run, and 16 RBIs. He has also shown a disciplined approach at the plate, walking 15 times while striking out just 16. He is currently riding a four-game hitting streak and has recorded a hit in seven of his last eight games. His consistency has been one of the more encouraging developments in the FCL lineup, and he continues to make a strong case for a promotion later this season. DSL Marlins & DSL Miami Evan Da Souza continues to impress across the board. Through the first month of the DSL season, the 16-year-old owns a 2.03 ERA. In 13⅓ innings, he has allowed just six hits and three earned runs. This past week he continued that trend, throwing three innings while allowing one hit, one run, and striking out five. He has walked 17 batters in those 13⅓ innings, but when he is in the zone, he is nearly unhittable. At just 16 years old, it's not a matter of if, but when. Carlos Ochoa is quite the opposite of most pitchers in the DSL. In 8⅓ innings this season, he has walked just three batters while striking out 11. This past week he struck out five over two innings while allowing just one walk. In 30 innings last year, he walked 22 batters, so the improvement is clearly there. At 19 years old, he could be knocking on the door of a stateside debut. Through five starts, Ricardo Morel—no relation to Christopher—has put together a solid season. In 14 innings pitched, he owns a 3.86 ERA while striking out 22 batters. This past week he turned in another strong outing, throwing four scoreless innings with six strikeouts and one walk. The biggest things to watch are the walks and the lack of ground balls he's generating. He has walked 13 batters in those 14 innings, and his GO/AO ratio sits at just 0.12. According to MiLB.com, he is averaging 21 pitches per inning, so if the command improves, the results should take another step forward across the board. Bayant Melo has made the report in back-to-back weeks as he continues to put together the best season of his professional career. This week he added three more scoreless innings while striking out four. The command is still a little shaky, but what a bounce-back year it has been for him. Daniel Peña made his professional debut this week and looked like he hadn't missed a beat. He went 4-for-7 (.571) with a couple of RBIs and a pair of stolen bases. All four hits were singles, but it's encouraging to see him get comfortable immediately. What's better than a week with one home run for the 17-year-old? A week with two. Santiago Solarte launched two more home runs this week, bringing his season total to four. He is off to a 4-for-10 (.400) start in July and has already stolen five bases this month, giving him 21 on the year. Defense remains the glaring weakness for him, as he has committed 15 errors this season, including 12 in just 106⅓ innings at shortstop.

Major League Baseball announced the 2026 MLB All-Star Game rosters on Saturday night. For the first time since 2023, multiple Miami Marlins players have made the National League roster: shortstop Otto Lopez and right-hander Max Meyer. It’s the first career selection for both of them. Lopez, who was acquired via waivers from the San Francisco Giants in 2024, now becomes the first All-Star Marlins shortstop since Hanley Ramírez (2010). He also joins Álex González (1999) and Édgar Rentería (1998) as the fourth different Marlins shortstop to make the All-Star game. Lopez has been the best acquisition of the Peter Bendix era thus far, amounting 10.5 bWAR in parts of three seasons to easily lead all Marlins players in the category. This season alone, Lopez already has 4.1 bWAR, which is fifth-most by a Marlins shortstop in a single season behind four different Hanley Ramírez seasons. In 87 games this season, Lopez is slashing .337/.368/.493/.861 with seven home runs, 37 RBI, 17 stolen bases and a 135 wRC+. Lopez leads MLB in batting average and hits. He also is tied for second in doubles (23), tied for third in triples (five) and ranks sixth among National League hitters in total bases (171). Amongst all shortstops, Lopez ranks first in OPS (.861), second in on base percentage (.368) and fourth in stolen bases (17). Lopez also set the franchise record for most multi-hit games (37) before the All-Star break, surpassing Miguel Cabrera. The Marlins selected Meyer with the third overall pick in the 2020 draft out of the University of Minnesota. After battling multiple injuries that have kept him off the field and struggling even when he was healthy, Meyer has taken a huge leap in 2026, posting a 2.53 ERA, 3.45 FIP, 9.79 K/9 and 3.15 BB/9 in 18 starts (103.0 IP). Meyer had a 9-0 record prior to his last outing, tying Liván Hernández (1997) for the best start to a season in Marlins history. He set a club record for longest undefeated streak by a starter in a single season. A main reason for Meyer's success was the addition of a sweeper and sinker to his arsenal. The sweeper, which is now his most-used pitch (30.8%), has a plus-four run value, generating 38.2% of his strikeouts. The sweeper has been a good compliment to his already nasty slider, which has a plus-nine run value. Meyer becomes the fourth first-round pick in franchise history to be named an All-Star while with the Marlins, joining Charles Johnson, José Fernández and Trevor Rogers. He also becomes the 11th different Marlins starter to be named an All-Star and the first since Sandy Alcantara in 2022. The Midsummer Classic will take place at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies, on Tuesday, July 14. View full article

After being considered behind the times compared to other major league organizations, the Miami Marlins have invested heavily in player development in recent years. That includes opening a new academy in the Dominican Republic to serve their international signings. They are just beginning to see results in players like 20-year-old left-handed pitcher Elier Morillo. Morillo, who signed out of the DR back in 2023 for $100k, idolized Clayton Kershaw growing up because of how he played the game, but later on, he began to watch a lot of Cristopher Sánchez, trying to emulate the Phillies starting pitcher. He was expected to sign with the Baltimore Orioles initially before some talks with the agency of his training academy led him to the Marlins instead. Morillo spent his first three professional years down in the Dominican. He pitched in 2023 and 2025, but missed all of 2024 rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Wakeup time is at 7:00 a.m. at the Marlins' academy, Morillo explains, and depending what time of the year it is, their schedule is different. Usually, when games aren't going on, they go to training soon after waking up, they go through defensive drills and after they go to the gym. They wrap their day up with English class at around 4:00 pm, they wrap up their day. "It helped me be a better person, better professional and a better player," Morillo told Fish On First in Spanish. "I went into the academy with little experience compared to what I walked out with. I walked out of there as a new person with tons of experience." As is the case for many others who were not born in the United States, transitioning to stateside life was "a bit tough" for Morillo. He was initially not a fan of the food available to him and at times would skip meals because he could not find something he liked. During his most recent stint in the Dominican Summer League, Morillo posted a 3.23 ERA, 2.96 FIP, 15.85 K/9 and 4.70 BB/9 in 30 ⅔ innings pitched in 2025. Going into 2026, Morillo's goal was simple: Have a strong spring training and try to begin at the highest level possible. "When I saw that the rosters were posted, I saw some players who were a bit down and some excited," Morillo said. "When I saw the Jupiter roster and saw that I wasn't there, I wasn't fazed by it and told myself that we are going to continue to work hard in extended spring training and when the FCL season starts, to have very little outings so I can get to Low-A. After throwing a bullpen in back-to-back days, I was getting out of the gym and I ran into our pitching coordinator and he tells me that I have been promoted to Jupiter." In 13 appearances (one start) this season for Morillo, he has a 4.30 ERA and 4.20 FIP. Most notably, he has struck out 42.2% of total batters faced, the highest rate in the entire Marlins organization (min. 20 IP). He wants to reach 100 strikeouts and is currently at 57. One of the main issues for Morillo have been the walks, which is something he admits he needs to improve on. Morillo has a four-pitch mix: four-seam fastball (63.7%), sweeper (20.3%), changeup (9.2%) and recently added gyro slider (6.8%). "When there is a left-handed hitter, I know he has no chance because the pitching coach will signal three straight fastballs and I will throw them with confidence, if he hits it or not," Morillo said. "I am also very confident in my defense, but I like to get outs on my own, striking guys out." Morillo says that his fastball has plenty of ride. It also averages 93.8 mph and in his most recent appearance on Thursday, it topped out at 96.0 mph. His best pitch is his sweeper, which happens to be his second-most-used pitch behind his fastball. It's got a 109 plus stuff and generates a 42.9% whiff rate. He said that the sweeper is a pitch that he has a lot of confidence in, where he can throw it behind the count to get back in at-bats. Morillo uses his changeup against right-handed hitters. Finally, the gyro slider, a new addition to his arsenal, has graded out well so far, with a 102 stuff plus rating. It averages 83.1 mph. Morillo who admitted the pitch isn't where it should be yet, has allowed a 75% hard-hit rate when using it. "They told me that for me to be a starter with a good arsenal, I needed to add a pitch that I can play off between the sweeper and fastball," Morillo said. "I can throw the gyro at about 87-88 mph. Little by little, I am getting the hang of it. I don't have a lot of confidence in it right now because I don't dominate with that pitch. I have allowed hits with it because I leave it hanging in the zone, but little by little I am going to begin getting the hang of that pitch." Morillo is part of a larger experiment. The Marlins under president of baseball operations Peter Bendix use "pitch design" sessions instead of bullpen session and call pitches from the dugout during games. These processes have been implemented from the Dominican Republic up through the majors. "The first time I saw the pitch design was 2024 in the Dominican Republic before I underwent my surgery," Morillo said. "I personally thought it was a good idea because you have the same system in a bullpen as in a game. What you do in the bullpen, you take to the game. You don't throw the pitch design with the same intensity, but you try to locate your pitches better, work on a specific pitch better, see the weakness of an opposing hitter and find the strike zone more." Morillo described calling pitches from the dugout as a good transition because of his relationship with pitching coach in the DSL. His numbers in 2025 back up what the Marlins are trying to do as well. Although his potential call-up is still years away, it is a thought that crosses Morillo's mind, calling it "the best news that I can receive." "It's a dream I've had since I was a kid," Morillo said. "Right now, what I hope is that I can stay healthy so I can continue to do my job on the field and just have fun." View full article

On Wednesday, Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the 2026 Futures Game taking place in Philadelphia. The representative for the Miami Marlins will be right-handed pitcher Karson Milbrandt. Milbrandt, Fish On First's No. 6 prospect, has made 13 starts between Double-A and Triple-A. In that span, he has a 1.63 ERA, 3.31 FIP, 12.08 K/9 and 4.61 BB/9. Milbrandt's fastball velocity has been sitting in the mid-90s more consistently than it was in previous seasons. The right-hander is mixing in three distinct breaking balls—a slider, curveball and sweeper—and he also has a new kick change. The expanded arsenal has helped him against left-handed batters, who slashed .233/.379/.295/.673 in 2025, compared to .131/.286/.196/.482 this season. His best stretch came early in the season in Pensacola, where in nine starts, he posted a 1.34 ERA, 2.93 FIP, 13.40 K/9 and 3.26 BB/9. During his short stint in Pensacola, Milbrandt tossed 27 consecutive scoreless innings, which is the most by a starting pitcher in Blue Wahoos history. He was also named Southern League Player of the Month in May. Since going to Triple-A, Milbrandt has made four starts, posting a 2.33 ERA, 4.24 FIP, 8.84 K/9 and 7.91 BB/9. In all four starts, Milbrandt has walked three or more hitters, most recently six against Memphis. It is typical for the Marlins to have two Futures Game representatives each year. Unless injuries or other circumstances create last-minute openings, this will mark the first time since 2022 that they will only have one prospect featured in the game. The Futures Game will take place on Sunday, July 12 at noon at Citizens Bank Park. View full article

The best month in Miami Marlins franchise history is over, but at least it ended in style. The Marlins offense set new season highs in runs scored and hits in their 14-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. It was their 20th win in the month of June. "Winning 20 games in a month is a hard thing to do," Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said. "Great way to finish out the month. We certainly have a lot of work ahead of us, but to continue to play well in a lot of facets is what's led to this. Offensively tonight how good we were, and being able to score early and tack on and hit with runners in scoring position. Really good finish this month, and we will turn the page and have to start a new one tomorrow." This marked the club's highest winning percentage (.769) and the best run differential (+53) in a single month. One of the many reasons for the Marlins' month-long success was their offense. Going into Tuesday, the Marlins had a 110 wRC+, which is 10th in baseball and ninth in OPS (.773). Even on a night where shortstop Otto Lopez was out of the Marlins lineup, they put up 14 runs on 21 hits. It is the first time this season that the Marlins have scored 10-plus runs in back-to-back games, most recently done in 2023 against the Atlanta Braves when they scored 11 runs in the first game and 16 in the second. It's the 20th time in franchise history that the Marlins have 20 or more hits in a single game. It's also the first 20-hit game since 2022 which happened to be against the Rockies in Coors Field. Griffin Conine led the way with a four-hit night, driving in the first run of the ballgame on an RBI double. He knocked in an RBI single in the top of the sixth inning, making it 7-1. Conine finished the game with a four-hit performance, the first of his career. Conine is now slashing .286/.364/.531/.783 with three home runs, 10 RBI and a 146 wRC+ this season. Xavier Edwards also had a four-hit night, the first for him this season and sixth of his career. He finished June on a nine-game hit streak. Joe Mack made it 10-1 in the top of the seventh. Mack's home run, which went 450 feet into the second deck in right field. Mack, who got off to a slow start to begin his MLB career, is now slashing .294/.360/.544/.904 with five home runs and 15 RBI in June. Owen Caissie became the second Marlin to reach double-digit homers, hitting his 10th of the season in the top of the eighth inning. A three-run shot went 453 feet is the longest home run hit by a Marlin this season, surpassing Mack, who held that record for about 45 minutes. After a June where Caissie had an .865 OPS, he is slashing .239/.299/.444/.743 overall with 10 home runs, 46 RBI and a 100 wRC+. In his return from the injured list, Liam Hicks had a multi-hit performance, extending his hit streak to 11 games. Graham Pauley was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville to reinstate Hicks off the IL. In his second start off the injured list, Marlins starting pitcher Eury Pérez went 5 1/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits (one home run), walked four and struck out eight. The home run he allowed was to Mickey Moniak in the bottom of the first inning. All eight of Pérez's strikeouts were swinging. His sweeper, which he threw 26% of the time, generated seven total whiffs and used it to strike out three. His fastball topped out at 99.9 mph and averaged 97.7 mph. He struck four out with that pitch. "Had a great fastball, and some of the pitches are just not going to react like they do here, but he spun some good breaking balls and I thought he filled up the zone really very well," McCullough said. "He ran out of gas a little bit there at the end, but as far as the second time getting back up and being able to get the pitch count into a good place in the up, I think he's in a really great spot." With the win, the Marlins improve to 46-40 on the season and remain virtually tied with the St. Louis Cardinals for the third National League Wild Card spot. Max Meyer will put his perfect 9-0 record on the line Wednesday night as the Fish look for their fourth straight series win. View full article

For the 2026 season, Fish On First will provide weekly reports on the Miami Marlins farm system, covering all levels. In case you missed it, our FOF Top 30 list has been updated to reflect takeaways from the first three months of minor league ball. This report covers the games played from June 23-29. Triple-A Jacksonville A lot of the action for Jacksonville has been on the pitching side. Brandon White, who was ranked No. 20 on the recently updated Fish On First Top 30, has had mixed results at the Triple-A level, posting a 6.07 ERA, 4.77 FIP, 11.53 K/9 and 1.82 BB/9. Although the surface numbers don't look great, White slider generates a 31.3% whiff rate. White is known for his phenomenal command, posting a career-low walk rate this season. One of the biggest developments for White is his uptick in fastball velocity, averaging 95.3 mph at the Triple-A level compared to 91.3 mph two years earlier with Low-A Jupiter. Between his last two starts, White has allowed one (unearned) run on three hits and struck out 18 hitters and only surrendered one walk. Karson Milbrandt continues to succeed at the Triple-A level, but with the caveat that he is struggling with throwing strikes. He has walked three or more hitters in all four of his Jumbo Shrimp starts, most recently walking six against Memphis. Overall, Milbrandt has a 2.33 ERA, 4.23 FIP, 8.84 K/9 and 7.91 BB/9 in 19 ⅓ innings with Jacksonville. He is ranked sixth on the Fish On First Top 30. Milbrandt's sweeper continues to be a strong weapon in his already expanded arsenal. He is generating 37.1% whiff rate with that pitch. In his most recent start, his final strikeout came on the sweeper. It has been his best pitch in terms of stuff plus. Milbrandt's selection to the Futures Game should be made official by the end of the week. Since the Marlins optioned reliever William Kempner, he has yet allow a run in five innings of work, striking out five, but also walking five. Kempner is eligible to be recalled beginning on Wednesday. Double-A Pensacola The Wahoos put their never-say-die attitude on full display this past week against the Lookouts, erasing early deficits multiple times to stork back and take four out of six games in the series. They erased a seven-run lead on Friday and a six-run lead on Saturday en route to improving to 40-35 on the season. Runs were plentiful for Pensacola who heads into this week having plated 12 runs in three straight games. They are also five games above .500 for the first time this year. Over the course of the past few weeks, Cam Cannarella has been arguably the best hitter in Minor League Baseball. His breakout campaign continued at an astounding pace this series in which he went 7-for-24 with three more home runs, bringing his season total to eight including five already in 22 games at Double-A. Cannarella continues to answer for questions surrounding his ability to hit for power in the most impressive ways. Not only has he put out the aforementioned eight homers, the way in which he has put most of them over the wall has stood out even more: Cannarella is frequenting the opposite field at a 42% rate. The power just adds another layer to already great skill set that includes plus-plus defense, good speed, and a budding 60-grade hit tool. This is about as well that an early-round Marlins’ draft pick has produced at the upper minors in recent memory. A debut next season is becoming more of a certainty by the day, especially as Jakob Marsee continues to struggle at the big league level. Fenwick Trimble this past week turned an upward trajectory into the best series he’s had so far this season, earning himself Southern League Player of the Week honors. In the series, Trimble went 10-for-25 with a hit in every game. His best performance was a 4-for-6 effort in which he recorded 12 total bases and drove in a career high five runs. Trimble showed tenacity through a tough start to the season and adjusted back to Double-A pitching very advantageously, one of the tougher tasks to accomplish in a young player’s career. His .281/.395/.500 June stands out both from a physical and mental standpoint. Even as the quality of stuff he’s faced has taken a jump, Trimble has stayed patient, worked counts and shown the ability to spray the ball to all fields. He had been a hit-over-power guy historically, but like Cannarella, the Marlins have helped him to tap into some more muscle. His 11 homers this season already top his 2025 total and his 17 doubles are two away from last year’s figure. What he lacks in raw strength Trimble makes up for with quick hands and a short swing which is what has spurred his power surge. Defensively, Trimble can hold down all three outfield spots. Because of an average throwing arm and the Wahoos’ outfield depth he’s played more in the corners this year, but he will continue to be an easy player to get into everyday lineups. The epitome of a safe player with four of five tools, Trimble continues to rise up prospect rankings. He has a high floor and if the power persists, it will continue to rise. A Triple-A call-up could be in the cards in pretty short order. Trimble is proving he was a nice find by the Marlins in the fourth round of the 2024 draft. High-A Beloit The Sky Carp were the beneficiaries of some solid pitching performances in their series against the Peoria Chiefs, allowing them to split a six game set despite scoring less than four runs a game on average. They exacted revenge against Peoria who swept them on the road earlier this month. The stuff profile has always been there for Carson Laws, the Marlins’ 14th-rounder from this past year. The issue for Laws lately has been getting his command to persist, which is what led to him allowing 17 runs through his previous three outings which lasted just a combined 10 ⅓ innings. On Wednesday against Peoria, though, Laws showed what he is capable of when his stuff is working at its best: the 6’1”, 186-pounder tossed the first quality start of his career while striking out a career high nine Chiefs. The only blemish on his line was a single walk. It had been a fairly rough start to Laws’ transition from bullpen work to starting. Even after this spectacular outing, his ERA on the season is still over seven. Laws rewarded the Marlins’ confidence in trusting in his ability to be stretched out with this fantastic building-block outing. With just average size, Laws isn’t the Marlins’ archetype arm but he has the ability to ramp up velocity and he flashes high spin rates with deceptive movement over all three pitches, giving him the capacity to fool hitters. For Laws, who spent the offseason in an effort to hit 99 mph, harnessing command and control in order to continue to last multiple innings consistently will be what to watch for as his season progresses. Given his background, there is extreme reliever risk here limiting his ceiling, but you can see the vision the Marlins are trying to build towards. Because of his stuff, Laws has the makings of a potential high-leverage bullpen option. Speaking of high-leverage relievers, the Marlins definitely have one in Justin Storm. The 24-year-old continued to dominate High-A hitters this week, as he got into three games and only allowed two hits in a combined four innings. On Sunday, he recorded his fourth save in five opportunities. His ERA has not been higher than 3.00 since May 13. Storm is everything the Marlins love in an arm: size, stuff and nasty strikes. At 6’7”, 232, he’s one of the tallest pitchers in all of minor league baseball. Planing downhill from his extremely high lefty arm slot and from an extremely shortened distance to the plate, he’s very difficult to pick up. Storm features a nasty fastball/slider combo that was touted as one of the best in the country when he was drafted in 2023. When he has full control of his extremely long levers, Storm is deadly. He does need to show that control a bit more consistently as he’s shown a penchant for missing very far out of the zone on occasion, leading to a low O-swing and middle-of-the-road walk rate especially as he gets an opportunity against more advanced hitters, but if he can solve for that, Storm has a considerable ceiling as a high-leverage arm. At 24, he’s very old for High-A. The challenge to Double-A needs to come soon for him. Low-A Jupiter Things were looking bleak for Echedry Vargas just a couple months ago. Playing down a level from where he was in 2025, the 21-year-old was mostly being deployed at first base while not providing any of the power typically expected from that position. Two weeks away from game action in early May has helped him recalibrate. Vargas homered again in Jupiter's last series, raising his slugging percentage to .492—that would rank fourth in the Florida State League if he had enough playing time to qualify. Meanwhile, he's receiving more of an opportunity to demonstrate his defensive versatility, including a start at shortstop on Wednesday. In his first series with the Hammerheads, Luis León went 4-for-15 with a grand slam. He got defensive reps at second base, left field and right field. The Marlins have spent nearly half a decade attempting to develop right-hander Walin Castillo as a starter, but their patience may be running out soon. He surrendered a career-high 10 earned runs in his last outing. An ERA that stood at 1.37 in mid-May has nearly quadrupled since then to 5.12. FCL Marlins FOF's No. 15 prospect, Andrew Salas, had an excellent week. He he went 5-for-10 (.500) with another multi-home run game, his second of the year. Salas is still just 18 years old until next March, and the potential has been on display on numerous occasions this season. We have already seen Luis Arana, Luis Cova, and Edgardo De Leon earn promotions after dominating the FCL to begin the season. Breyias Dean should be next. On the year, Dean is hitting .326 with four home runs, 26 RBIs, and has walked 18 times compared to just 25 strikeouts. As mentioned last week, with the MLB Draft approaching, the opportunity for promotions is opening up as organizations need roster spots for incoming draft picks. Dean is at the top of the list when it comes to players who have earned a promotion. Juan Alva is right there with Dean statistically A career .325 hitter, Alva is batting .329 this season with three home runs, 16 RBIs, 12 stolen bases, and an impressive 23 walks compared to just 14 strikeouts. This past week he went 4-for-11 (.364), with all four of his hits coming across two multi-hit performances. DSL Marlins & DSL Miami David Shirley was with the DSL Marlins until this week before being transferred to DSL Miami. Prior to the move, he was hitting .333 in 36 at-bats, and the change of scenery did nothing to slow him down. Shirley went 6-for-15 (.400) this week with multiple multi-hit games, three RBIs, and two stolen bases. He has continued to put together quality at-bats and has been one of the hotter hitters in the organization over the past couple of weeks. José Rosal made just one appearance this week, tossing two innings while allowing two hits, walking three, and striking out three. On the season, he owns a 0.87 ERA (1 ER) across 10⅓innings. The biggest concern has been his command, as he has issued 12 walks compared to just eight strikeouts, contributing to a 1.84 WHIP. Despite that, Rosal has consistently found ways to escape trouble and limit damage, which has allowed him to keep runs off the board. After a rough first three outings to start the season, Keyner Cedeño has been nearly unhittable over his last four appearances. Across his last 10 ⅓ innings, he has struck out a whopping 22 hitters while issuing just three walks. This week alone, he threw 6 ⅔ innings and struck out 13 batters. The stuff has always been there, and it looks like Cedeño has figured something out over the last couple of weeks. Stiveen Rojas got off to a slow start this season but has picked things up lately. On Monday afternoon, he struck out eight over 4 ⅓ innings. Overall this week, he recorded 10 strikeouts across 6⅓ innings while allowing just one run. The biggest issue continues to be the walks, as he has now issued 18 walks while striking out 18 hitters. Opponents are batting just .167 against him, but his 1.59 WHIP shows how much the free passes have hurt him. There is no other way to put it—Daniel Pire has been the best-performing player from the Marlins' 2025 international free agent class. This week he went 5-for-11 (.455), highlighted by a game in which he collected three doubles and drove in three runs. On the season, he is hitting .333 in 60 at-bats and has walked more times (9) than he has struck out (7). His approach at the plate has been one of the most impressive in the DSL. Bayant Melo is now in his fourth season in the DSL, and this has been his best year by far. Across 15 ⅓ innings, he has recorded 16 strikeouts. The walks are still an issue, but the results are finally beginning to match the quality of his stuff. This week he tossed three scoreless innings, striking out three while walking two and hitting a batter. His season ERA now sits at 2.35. At 21 years old, this is a make-or-break season. Yerison Mendez has had one of the stranger statistical seasons in the organization. He owns a 2.03 ERA across 13⅓ innings but has a 1.58 WHIP. He has walked nine batters while striking out just six. This week, he threw four scoreless innings, allowing four hits, walking three, and striking out none. So far the results have been on Mendez's side, but it has been a very unusual season to this point.

Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough is certainly not above criticism when his in-game decisions backfire. Just last week, there was a prime example of that. On the other hand, you have to give McCullough credit when those same sort of moves are ordered correctly and produce positive results. That was the case Monday night against the Colorado Rockies in a 10-7 win. In the top of the fifth inning, Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer took out left-handed starter Sean Sullivan and went to righty Victor Vodnik. Leo Jimenez, who was supposed to hit in that spot and already had an RBI double in his first at-bat of the game, was taken out and Griffin Conine entered the game to pinch-hit for him. On the second pitch of the at-bat, Vodnik served up a changeup that Conine clobbered 433 feet slamming into the third deck in right field, giving the Marlins a 6-5 lead. "Looking at today with their only lefty, he had thrown back-to-back days, potentially he could have come in, but that would have Griff and Owen (Caissie) and even Graham (Pauley) ready to come pinch-hit in those spots," McCullough said. "The first shot there with some guys on, I felt like it was a moment, and then Griff was gonna be the first bat off the bench." Conine has missed most of the season due to a left hamstring tear. He has played in seven games since coming off the injured list. His home run marked his first career pinch-hit home run and the third by a Marlin this season. It also was the longest home run of his career. "Anytime you are going into the game in a big spot, you just get as much as you can on the guy before you go up there and try to get a good pitch," Conine told the Marlins Radio Network postgame. "He threw me two changeups in a row and that definitely helped out the timing and I didn't miss the second one." Sandy Alcantara made his final start in the month of June, going 5 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits, walked five and struck out three. In the top of the sixth inning, McCullough came out to chat with Alcantara and after a couple second, he was out of the game. McCullough turned to Michael Petersen who got out of the inning, allowing Alcantara to stay in line for what was his sixth win. "What makes Mike so special for us is that he is very good versus left and he's good versus right," McCullough said. "Having that neutrality, we liked him versus (Jake) McCarthy either way, and that his ability to come into any spot versus any sided hitter is a big deal." Alcantara becomes the third pitcher in Marlins franchise history to post a 6-0 record in one month, joining José Fernández (6-0 in May 2016) and Chris Hammond (6-0 in June 1993). He finishes the month of June with a 3.35 ERA in 40 1/3 innings of work. In that span, Alcantara completed seven innings or more in three straight starts and now has the most strikeouts in franchise history. The final button pressed by the skipper was when he decided to pinch-hit for Esteury Ruiz with Owen Caissie in the top of the seventh inning. On the second pitch of the at-bat, Caissie knocked in a single off Rockies reliever Antonio Senzatela. He later scored a run on a Javier Sanoja RBI triple. Caissie finished his night going 2-for-2, bumping his OPS to .827 in the month of June. The Marlins have tied a franchise record with 19 wins in the month of June, first accomplished by the 2023 club. The Marlins join Atlanta (19-9 in April) and Milwaukee (19-7 in May) as the only teams in the majors this season to collect at least 19 wins in a calendar month. "This has been a really big month for Sandy," McCullough said. "During this run, he has really been on the attack. Coming into this game, if he's not leading the league in innings, he's right there. He has efficiently done his work, and he's continued to fill it up. I think that we've seen a guy who's certainly been there, done that, and with the situation we've been in recently, where we've patched things together on some days with our pitching, that what Sandy does on the days he gets the ball, we generally count on him going deep and giving us a chance." With the win, the Marlins move to 45-40 on the season. When it comes to the NL Wild Card race, the Marlins find themselves in a virtual tie with the St. Louis Cardinals for the third spot, with the Cardinals just barely leading in terms of win percentage (.531 to .529). Eury Pérez takes the mound on Tuesday for his second start since coming off the injured list. First pitch is at 8:40 pm ET. View full article

The Miami Marlins are currently in the thick of things with a 44-40 record, only half a game out of the final Wild Card spot in the National League. They are trending toward being in a position to make true a push for the postseason for the first time since 2023. This Marlins team is good but flawed, suffering from the worst third base production in MLB. Also, injuries have thinned out their starting rotation and closing out games has been an issue at times. Here are four veterans that Miami could pursue leading up to the trade deadline to strengthen their roster without mortgaging their future. J.P. Crawford (Seattle Mariners) Longtime Mariner J.P. Crawford is being phased out of the club's plans. Top prospect Colt Emerson has been called up to serve as Seattle's shortstop of the future. This has shifted Crawford to third base in recent weeks, but even that job is expected to be taken away once Brendan Donovan returns from the injured list. In 67 games this season, Crawford is slashing .224/.342/.371/.713 with 10 home runs, 25 RBI and a 110 wRC+. He consistently shows a great eye at the plate and his 2026 season is no exception as he's drawing walks 13.4% of the time and ranking in the 96th percentile in chase rate. Crawford is in the final year of a five-year, $51M contract, so the Marlins would be acquiring a pending free agent who is making $12M this season. The Mariners are certainly not behaving as "sellers" at the deadline, but this is the one piece who they can afford to part with. Meanwhile in Miami, Crawford could take over as the primary third baseman and provide solid insurance should star shortstop Otto Lopez miss any time due to injury. Isaac Paredes (Houston Astros) Isaac Paredes also would make a lot of sense for the Marlins, just with a much different player profile than Crawford. In 79 games this season, Paredes is slashing .250/.348/.426/.774 with 11 home runs, 44 RBI and a 119 wRC+. Approach-wise, Paredes is striking out 16.3% of the time, the lowest single-season mark of his career (min. 100 PA). Although Paredes isn't a good third baseman by any means, the Marlins should be willing to sacrifice some defense in favor of more offense. He also has experience at first base. Paredes is currently making $9.35M in 2026 with a club option of $13.35M for the 2027 season. As long as he hits close to his career averages down the stretch, that would be a nice value for the Marlins moving forward. Robbie Ray (San Francisco Giants) The Marlins starting rotation is severely lacking a swing-and-miss element. Would you be surprised to hear that Robbie Ray ranks sixth in MLB history (min. 1,000 IP) in career strikeouts per nine innings? Beyond that, Ray’s 13 years in the majors have seen him twice named an All-Star, win an ERA title, and claim a Cy Young Award. Through his first 17 appearances in 2026, Ray has been among the more stable forces for a Giants team hellbent on a rebuild, posting a 3.39 ERA, though sporting a considerably less impressive 4.63 FIP. Outside of John King, the Marlins bullpen is bereft of left-handed weapons. Utilizing Ray in short spurts is a fallback plan should he disappoint as a starter. A free agent at season’s end, Ray would merely be a rental for Miami. Expect the Giants to pay down a chunk of his $25M salary to extract a decent prospect return from the Fish. Aroldis Chapman (Boston Red Sox) At the ouset of 2025, many had given up on Aroldis Chapman. On his fourth team in three years, he was a journeyman in obvious decline...right? Instead, Chapman threw a wrinkle in the conventional aging curve and authored a historic reliever season for a Boston Red Sox team that snuck its way into the playoffs. He finished with a 1.17 ERA and held opponents to a .189 on-base percentage—both were the best single-season marks of his storied career. The 38-year-old hasn’t let up in 2026, sporting a 2.19 ERA across 26 appearances, with a fastball that still ranks in the 91st percentile in average velocity. While Miami already forked over $13M for a closer this past offseason, Pete Fairbanks has largely been a disappointment in his time with the club, sporting the third-highest ERA (6.75) among a sample of 165 relievers with at least 25 games pitched. The acquisition of Chapman would appropriately relegate him to a lower-leverage role. View full article

MIAMI, FL—While the All-Star break is still nearly three weeks away, the Miami Marlins reached the midpoint of their 2026 regular season schedule on Wednesday afternoon. With 81 games played and 81 games remaining, the Marlins currently find themselves with a 42-39 record, good for third place in the National League East and half a game out of the third and final NL Wild Card spot. This is a six-game improvement from the previous year. The 2025 Marlins were playing well at the same point of the season, but dug themselves a deeper hole early on and had a 36-45 record. The 2026 team is in a much better position to potentially act as buyers at the MLB trade deadline and ultimately get back to the postseason. Last time the Marlins found themselves above .500 at the halfway point was in 2023, when they were 47-34. How much of the Marlins' success is sustainable entering the second half of the season and how might things look different moving forward, both for better and worse? Let's take a closer look. Positives It all starts with the breakout season Otto Lopez is having, slashing .340/.374/.483/.857 with six home runs, 35 RBI and a 136 wRC+. He currently leads MLB in hits and batting average and ranks third in doubles. Lopez also has 32 multi-hit games. Unfortunately, fans outside of Miami are not noticing him. While an All-Star selection looks inevitable, he will have to settle for being selected as a reserve at the shortstop position. His middle infield partner, Xavier Edwards, is also having a breakout season, hitting .293/.374/.425/.799 with six home runs, 28 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 121 wRC+. The switch-hitter has take a step forward from the right side of the plate and has been a staple near the top of the order, even hitting cleanup at points this season. Although Liam Hicks is currently on the injured list with a low back strain, he leads the team with 13 home runs and 53 RBI. Hicks has primarily split time between first base and designated hitter with the emergence of Joe Mack, but he does still catch once or twice a week. The trio of Hicks, Edwards and Lopez carried the Marlins lineup through the first two months of the season before we finally saw the lineup begin to lengthen out with Kyle Stowers, Jakob Marsee and Owen Caissie beginning to hit. The return of Hicks will be a final boost before the All-Star break. If there is one offseason acquisition that has panned out for this team, it has been Esteury Ruiz, who is having a career year with the Marlins. He did not start the final game of the series against the Rangers, but entered in the bottom of the seventh inning. He is now slashing .257/.356/.541/.897 with four home runs, nine RBI, 14 stolen bases and a 145 wRC+ in 46 games thus far. Ruiz has been implemented into late-game situations to pinch run and for his defense. Max Meyer may be on his way to Philly at the rate he is pitching, now with a 2.80 ERA, 3.33 FIP, 10.20 K/9 and 3.40 BB/9 in 90.0 innings of work, which is a career-high for him. Meyer won't win the Cy Young by any means, but he could finish towards the bottom of the top 10 in voting. Meyer is set to make his next start on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Since the incorporation of Joe Mack, teams are preparing differently for what can happen on the basepaths. Mack has thrown out 12 runners this season, which is good for a 34.3% caught stealing rate. Offensively, he is finally beginning to heat up, slashing .259/.317/.405/.723 with four home runs, 18 RBI and a 101 wRC+. The Marlins as a team continue to lead MLB in stolen bases with 88. Jakob Marsee has a team-high 18 steals. There are four players with 10 or more this season. Entering the series finale against the Rangers, the Marlins bullpen ranked seventh in ERA (3.42), FIP (3.65), fourth in K/9 (9.50) and 22nd in BB/9 (4.18). Although the walks remain an issue, performances from John King, Anthony Bender and Lake Bachar have carried the bullpen to becoming a strength of his ball club. That doesn't mean it is perfect, as Pete Fairbanks is having an up and down season. On Wednesday, the bullpen struck out six Rangers and allowed one run on three hits (one home run). The lone run the bullpen surrendered came in the top of the ninth inning from Joc Pedersen off Fairbanks, who did rack up his 12th save of the season. Negatives Injuries always suck. The absences of Robby Snelling, Eury Pérez and Janson Junk put the Marlins starting rotation in a situation where they had to rely on Braxton Garrett, Ryan Gusto and converted reliever Tyler Phillips. Somehow, they did manage to post a 15-5 record in the month of June before Pérez's return on Wednesday. In June, the Marlins bullpen has thrown 84 ⅓ innings pitched. Lake Bachar has been the real hero, having to start four games in June, throwing 13 ⅔ innings and posting a 1.32 ERA and 2.45 FIP in the span. Although Janson Junk is expected to return next month, the need for another starting pitcher or just pitching in general is there if the Marlins plan to contend in 2026. The biggest need for the Marlins is a third baseman. Amongst players who have played the position this year, they have a 43 wRC+, tied for worst in baseball with the Cincinnati Reds. Those who have played third base for the Marlins include Connor Norby, Leo Jiménez, Javier Sanoja and Graham Pauley, all who have a wRC+ well below 100 this season. Defensively, they have the third-worst fielding percentage in baseball (.944) and tied for the second-most errors (12). Jiménez, who the Marlins continue to give plenty of opportunities to, is now slashing .177/.283/.203/.486 with two extra-base hits and a 44 wRC+. His wRC+ is the eighth-worst in the National League among players with comparable playing time. You can sacrifice a bit more defense at third to increase production offensively. If Miami plans on buying, Matt Chapman of the San Francisco Giants and Isaac Paredes of the Houston Astros are two options who can help the team drive in runs, and Chapman will provide some help with his glove as well. Outlook The Marlins have had the advantage of a home-heavy schedule, playing 45 of their first 81 games at loanDepot park. That will be flipped around the rest of the way to even things out. They are set to begin a three-city road trip on Friday in St. Louis against the Cardinals. For any scoreboard watchers, the Cardinals (42-35) currently hold the first NL Wild Card spot, so this series is a huge one for the Marlins. View full article

For the 2026 season, Fish On First will provide weekly reports on the Miami Marlins farm system, covering all levels. This late-June edition of the Fish On First Prospects Report includes a lot of familiar names who have maintained strong production across multiple weeks, plus some good problems to have with top prospects returning from injuries. This report covers the games played from June 16-22. Triple-A Jacksonville Gage Miller's time in Jacksonville has been nothing short of impressive, slashing .341/.442/.614/1.056 with three home runs, 12 RBI and a 178 wRC+. With the Jumbo Shrimp, Miller is posting the highest walk rate of his career (13.5%) and continues to strike out under 20% of the time (17.3%). Defensively, Miller is primarily playing second base, but has also seen time at third base as well. Worth noting, the big league club currently has the worst offensive production at the third base this season, per wRC+. Kemp Alderman split time between right field and first base in his first week back from a left elbow sprain. Overall, he is slashing .287/.365/.503/.868 with 10 home runs, 24 RBI and a 129 wRC+. Johnny Olmstead, a 19th-round pick back in 2023, is having a strong month of June, slashing .235/.422/.471/.893. Olmstead hit a home run on Friday against the Durham Bulls. His overall season slash line is .210/.365/.371/.763 with five home runs, 21 RBI and a 106 wRC+. In his most recent start for the Jumbo Shrimp, Karson Milbrandt went four innings, allowing one run on three hits, walked five and struck out seven. Milbrandt's fastball topped out at 96.8 mph, averaging 94.8 mph and generating eight whiffs. Of his seven strikeouts, four of them came on the sweeper, generating eight whiffs as well. Although extremely effective overall, control continues to be an issue for him, now having walked three or more in all three starts at the Triple-A level. Jack Ralston continues to have a strong season, posting a 1.30 ERA, 3.84 FIP, 11.23 K9 and 3.46 BB/9 in 25 appearances. The Marlins have given other relievers opportunities over Ralston so far, but his chance should come at some point soon. The Marlins brought back Zach Pop on a minor league deal. Pop previously spent time with the Marlins in 2021 and 2022, then bounced around the league with stints in the Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies organizations. Pop made his 2026 Jumbo Shrimp debut on June 16 against Durham. He has since pitched in three games, allowing three runs on two hits and three strikeouts. The three runs and two hits were all surrendered in that first outing. His two other outings have been perfect. Double-A Pensacola The Wahoos did their part to keep their first-half division title hopes alive all week long, including deep into the night and early morning on Thursday and Friday when the team attempted to wait out a lengthy delay. Despite falling just short of their ultimate goal, the team had a great series against Birmingham, winning four of six games by way of a 46-32 run differential. They ended the first half three games over .500 at 36-33. There’s taking the toughest promotion in the minors in stride, then there’s doing what Cam Cannarella is doing. Called up to Pensacola at the beginning of the month, the 22-year-old has barely batted an eye at the change in competition level. With nine more hits including two homers this past week, Cannarella is slashing .357/.439/.500 as a Blue Wahoo. He has a 155 wRC+. Cannarella is proving to be one of the faster-developing position player prospects the Marlins have housed in recent memory. Nearly matching the same solid walk rate he posted in High-A along with limiting his K rate to an elite 11% while making contact at an 85% rate on pitches within the strike zone, there isn’t much not to nitpick. Touted for a plus-plus defensive skill set and great bat-to-ball skills coming out of the draft, it was believed that Cannarella profiled as hit-over-power. However, he has definitely started to tap into more extra bases, already hitting five homers on the campaign. With sound mechanics, great discipline, decent speed and the aptitude to stick in center field due to good reads, instincts and athleticism, Cannarella has three of five tools. If the power continues to show up, he could be adding a fourth. Even though Cannarella’s career is still very young, he has answered every challenge successfully and with flying colors. If he keeps doing what he’s doing, Cannarella could be a candidate to arrive in Miami as early as next season. The quick challenge to the Double-A ranks hasn’t been the kindest to the Marlins 2025 first-rounder Aiva Arquette, save for one facet of the game: power. Since his promotion to the Wahoos, Arquette has gone 20 for his first 93 including 13-for-64 in June. While he’s hitting just .215 with a .284 OBP, Arquette is slugging .420. That is because 33% of his hits have left the yard. As a member of the Blue Wahoos, the 22-year-old already has five home runs. Arquette’s weaknesses have been two-fold: swinging at too many pitches outside of the strike zone and getting off his best swing altogether. While he has been able to avoid whiffs rather well, generating solid contact has been a struggle. Swinging at pitches outside of the zone 30% of the time and exhibiting a a lowly .298 wOBA along with a 45% ground ball rate, he’s left a bit to be desired amidst the challenge to the upper minors. Unlocking Arquette will take a few things: more reps, natural progression, and body control. The first two are an easy fix that just require time. The third may be a bit trickier for the Marlins as they attempt to groom the 6’5”, 220-pound specimen. Arquette’s swing itself is pretty sound—it’s getting to it that needs work. At his size, he works with a lot of moving parts and levers that can cause him to look awkward at times when attempting to time up his cuts. Additionally, the inherently picky and selective hitter is sometimes late to commit to a swing, compounding this issue. Quieting down Arquette’s approach and getting him to fully commit to swings earlier in his process will be key for Arquette as he continues his development with Pensacola. Where size has not hurt Arquette is in the field. Despite being a very unique build for the shortstop position, he looks every bit the part there and hasn’t given the Marlins any reason to doubt he stick there long term. That said, he’s also been tried out at third base. If the bat continues to lag behind the defense, more regular playing time at third rather than the higher-stress up-the-middle position may be an advantageous step for Miami to take. High-A Beloit Beloit bounced back from losing 10 of their previous 12 with a good offensive showing, leading to them taking three out of five games played against Cedar Rapids on the road. The final game of the series was postponed and will be made up next month. Beloit scored at least eight runs in every game and owned the advantage in a 51-41 run differential. After hitting four homers the week previous, Brandon Compton proved his recent power surge was no fluke. The 2025 second-rounder put out another four long balls against the Kernels including a couple absolute no-doubters. His slugging percentage on the season rose to .450 and to an audacious .767 in June, earning him our Prospect of the Week honors. A 6’1”, 225-pound lefty, Compton is putting absolute monstrous power on full display, particularly to his pull side. As his vision starts to improve and he starts to gain more confidence in his swing, pitching Compton inside is becoming more of a chore for opposing pitchers. Looking at Compton’s advanced stats, his slow start was marred by an inability to make contact on pitches within the strike zone. His 70.9% zone contact percentage is in the eighth percentile league-wide. It hasn’t been that Compton has swung at bad pitches—his swing rate on pitches outside the zone is 22.1%, in the 81st percentile and his 24.5% walk rate is ridiculously high. It just seems Compton was getting a bit over-zealous when swinging at strikes, leading to a heightened whiff rate. As he’s beginning to solve for that issue, we’re seeing what this bat is fully capable of. As we’ve stated previously regarding Compton, he is bat-first and arguably bat-only, so it will need to carry him to the next level. If he continues on his current track, a call-up to Double-A is merited this season once space becomes available in Pensacola’s crowded outfield. Two weeks ago, as part of our report, we mentioned how Dillon Head just needs to build confidence to break out of a injury-interrupted start-of-season slump that had him slashing just .163/.273/.231 with a 41 wRC+. Almost immediately after that writing, the 21-year-old’s bat perked up. He recorded six hits against Quad Cities and followed up with a seven-hit effort this week against Cedar Rapids. Over that span, Head doubled three times and homered twice. His June slash line represents the best offensive baseball he’s played in a Marlins-affiliated uniform. Altogether this month, he’s hitting .311/.408/.590. Confidence is key and Head is the proof. In the 91st percentile in zone contact but the 23rd in zone swing, Head just needed to start swinging at more strikes. Over the last two weeks, he’s showcased that trait, the main catalyst in his fiery stretch. One of few prospects in the Marlins’ ranks that profiles as a true center fielder long term, we are starting to get a glimpse at what the tooled-up prospect can do when making the most of loud raw tools including a quick bat and plus-plus speed. A guy that can and likely will live with a high BABIP due to his quickness and ability to turn anything in play into a hit, Head is also a smart baserunner who comes by extra bases fairly easily even if he does not hit a gap. Because of his twitchy hands, Head also isn’t completely devoid of power. With room to continue to grow into 20-double, 20-steal, 10-homer production annually, it is very refreshing to start to see it happen for Head. Despite injuries, time is still on his side. Trending up, he’s a name we will continue to monitor very closely. Low-A Jupiter Since his arrival to the Low-A level, Luis Arana has not stopped hitting, slashing .345/.479/.483/.962 with one home run, 13 RBI and a 169 wRC+. The main difference has been Arana striking out more (17.8%) at this level compared to the complex league (9.2%). Overall, Arana is slashing .366/.478/.464/.943 with one home run, 18 RBI, 20 stolen bases and a 158 wRC+. He is proving to be the crown jewel of Miami's 2025 international free agent class on the position player side. Edgardo De Leon was promoted along with Arana to the Low-A level and the results have different, hitting .200/.261/.450/.711 with three home runs, 11 RBI and an 82 wRC+. De Leon's main issue has been his strikeout rate (32.6%) now being exposed more at this level. The concern level shouldn't be too high yet given the limited sample. It's just a matter of time until Carter Johnson receives a promotion to High-A Beloit. Johnson is now slashing .243/.357/.430/.788 with eight home runs, 35 RBI and a 114 wRC+. Johnson, whose stock has fallen dramatically in two years of pro ball, still has a path to putting together a productive career. It will just take patience. Since his promotion to Low-A, Eiver Mosquera has been great, posting a 2.45 ERA, 3.75 FIP, 11.45 K/9 and 3.27 BB/9. Mosquera has made three appearances (one start) so far. In his most recent outing against the Palm Beach Cardinals, Mosquera went four innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits, two walks and struck out six. His fastball velocity topped out at 97.3 mph and averaged 96.4 mph. FCL Marlins The offense running through the organization right now is contagious. This week featured a 19-run performance in eight innings by the FCL Marlins last Tuesday. After struggling during his first two professional seasons, Adrian Bello broke out last year in the Dominican Summer League before making the jump stateside this season. He has been one of the more consistent bats for the FCL Marlins, hitting .290 with one home run, 11 RBI, and seven stolen bases. His plate discipline has also been encouraging, as he has drawn 12 walks while striking out just 13 times. This week, Bello recorded a hit in three of the four games he played, including two multi-hit performances. Bello's biggest concern remains his batted-ball profile. His 2.00 GO/AO ratio suggests he is putting a lot of balls on the ground, making it difficult to sustain his current production unless he starts elevating the ball more consistently. After a brief stint in Jupiter last year where he struggled and then continued to have difficulties following his demotion back to the FCL, John Cruz has finally started to find his groove. He is hitting .317 in June with two home runs and nine RBI. On the season, he owns a .267 batting average with four home runs, 18 RBI, and 11 stolen bases. The strikeout totals remain high, but he has made noticeable improvements compared to last season. With the draft approaching, it may be time to give Cruz another opportunity in Low-A Jupiter and see how he responds. DSL Marlins & DSL Miami Carlos De Los Santos is off to an excellent start in his professional career. He is hitting .342 with a home run and nine RBI on the season and has only gone hitless in four games. In two of those games, he received just one at-bat. This week, he continued to produce, going 4-for-14 (.286) with a double and two RBI. Two of those hits and both RBI came on Monday during DSL Miami's 15-12 victory over the DSL Twins. The strikeout rate and BABIP are both a little elevated, but for a 17-year-old in his first professional season, the early results are extremely encouraging for the Marlins. Jesús Pérez entered Monday's game hitting just .105 through his first 19 at-bats of the season. He responded by putting together one of the best individual performances in the DSL this year, going 5-for-6 with two home runs, six RBI, and a stolen base. That performance raised his season average all the way to .280. Prior to Monday, Pérez had struck out just three times in 19 at-bats, but had little to show for it. Sometimes all a player needs is one breakout game to get things going, and Monday may have been exactly that. Johan Machado put together one of the best weeks in the entire organization. He recorded a hit in every game he played and added three multi-hit performances. He capped off the week on Monday with a home run and three RBI. Machado is best known for his speed, highlighted earlier this season by a game in which he stole five bases. If he can begin to pair that speed with more consistent offensive production, he has the potential to become one of the fastest risers in the system. Santiago Solarte wasn't satisfied with the excellent week he had previously, so he followed it up with another strong performance. He recorded a hit in four of five games and added another home run. On Monday, after a one-out single in the first inning, Solarte stole second, third, and home. He now has 14 stolen bases on the season (fourth among all DSL players). He continues to improve each week, and with his 6-foot-5 frame, these flashes are exactly why the Marlins believe he has the potential to develop into a true five-tool player. After opening the season 1-for-6, Diego Martinez has found his groove during his first professional season. He is now hitting .393 with two home runs, seven RBI, and six stolen bases. This week was easily his best of the year, as he recorded back-to-back three-hit games and homered in both contests. The sample size remains small at just 28 at-bats, and his .474 BABIP is certainly inflated. However, the early foundation of his offensive potential has definitely started to reveal itself, giving the Marlins another intriguing young bat to monitor as the season progresses.
