Jesus Sanchez

MIA Left Fielder #12

Jesús Sánchez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI on Monday in the Marlins’ loss to the Reds.

Sánchez tattooed a gargantuan 480-foot blast off Reds reliever Jakob Junis in the sixth inning and was also credited with an RBI later in the contest when he grounded into a double play. It was his first big fly since July 23 as he’s been ice-cold at the dish over the last few weeks.
Roddery Munoz

MIA Starting Pitcher #71

Roddery Muñoz was lit up for six runs (four earned) over 3 2/3 innings on Monday in a loss to the Reds.

Muñoz surrendered seven hits, including homers to Elly De La Cruz and Noelvi Marte as he was unable to complete four frames in his shortest outing of the year. The 24-year-old rookie right-hander has been hit extremely hard in his first extended chance at the highest level, but the rebuilding Marlins don’t exactly have anyone else to turn to at the moment as they continue to play out the string. He’s not a recommended fantasy option if he’s given another turn in Miami’s starting rotation.
Jesus Luzardo

MIA Starting Pitcher #44

Jesús Luzardo, out since June 19 with a lumbar stress reaction, is still at least six weeks away from throwing, according to MLB.com’s Christian De Nicola.

If that’s the case, then there’s no way he’s pitching in another game this season. Luzardo, who was very good in both 2022 and ’23, had a 5.00 ERA in 12 starts before going down this season.
Nick Gordon

MIA Left Fielder #1

Marlins designated OF Nick Gordon for assignment.

The newly claimed Derek Hill is taking Gordon’s spot on the roster, though it’s Cristian Pache who will likely end up with most of Gordon’s at-bats. Gordon has always lacked plate discipline, but he did used to hit the ball hard. Unfortunately, that’s been lacking this season after he missed most of 2023 with a fractured leg. He had a 44% hard-hit rate and a 90.6-mph average exit velocity in his career coming into this season. In 2024, he’s come in at 30% and 86.1 mph.
Brett de Geus

MIA Relief Pitcher #59

Marlins claimed RHP Brett de Geus off waivers from the Mariners and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville.

De Geus was designated for assignment by the Mariners last week. He had a 2.70 ERA in four appearances with Seattle and a 6.60 ERA in 32 appearances with Triple-A Tacoma. De Geus will serve as minor league bullpen depth for the Marlins going forward.
Nick Gordon

MIA Left Fielder #1

The Marlins are designating OF Nick Gordon for assignment, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com.

Gordon is out of minor league options. Miami acquired Kyle Stowers to play left field at the trade deadline and added centerfielder Christian Pache after the Orioles placed him on waivers. Those moves make it tough to also justify a spot for Gordon on the roster. The 28-year-old hit .227 with a .627 OPS and 32 RBI for the Marlins this year.
Edward Cabrera

MIA Starting Pitcher #27

Edward Cabrera shut the Braves out over five innings on Sunday in an 8-0 victory. He struck out eight and walked two.

This was Cabrera’s best start in months. He allowed just one Brave to reach scoring position as they flailed at his changeup over and over again. Also, his fastball touched 99 MPH and he was fearless with it in the strike zone. It’s no feat for most, but Cabrera has completed five innings in three straight starts for the first time since June of last year.
Jonah Bride

MIA Third Baseman #41

Jonah Bride went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run on Sunday against the Braves.

Bride has been thrust into full-time duty for the Marlins after their massive trade deadline exodus and he’s done well with three long balls in five games. The Athletics cast-off has been more of a free-swinger early on in Miami and maybe it’s helped him unlock some more power.
Calvin Faucher

MIA Relief Pitcher #53

Calvin Faucher threw a scoreless ninth inning to earn a save in a 4-3 win over the Braves on Saturday.

Despite blowing a save on Friday, Faucher was given another chance on Saturday and delivered. After a one-out single by Jarred Kelenic, Faucher struck out the last two hitters of the game to earn the save. It was his first of the season. While it appears that Faucher is the favorite for saves in Miami following the trade deadline, it should also be noted that he faced the 7-9 hitters while Andrew Nardi got the eighth inning against the 4-6 hitters. Faucher has a 3.46 ERA on the season and has been solid overall, but this feels like a committee brewing.
Jake Burger

MIA Third Baseman #36

Jake Burger went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in a win over the Braves.

Burger has been on fire since the All-Star break, going 18-for-55 (.327) with seven home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored in 15 games. He’s also struck out 16 times in those 15 games and, obviously, 11 RBI when you have seven home runs is not ideal; however, Burger is certainly striking the ball well right now. If you need home runs, it’s time to put in your order.
