Anthony Bender Finally Allows A Run

Miami Marlins rookie relief pitcher Anthony Bender allowed the first two runs of his major league career in Tuesday's loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Bender tossed one inning, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks, striking out two while throwing three wild pitches. Bender was absolutely all over the place in his inning […]

Trevor Rogers Falls An Out Shy Of Another Quality Start

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers fell one out shy of earning a quality start and ended up taking a loss in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rogers threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on just two hits while striking out nine, but issuing four walks and hitting a batter. Rogers threw […]

Brian Anderson Ramps Up Baseball Activities

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (shoulder) participated in soft toss and defensive drills on Tuesday. He's been sidelined since May 24 with a dislocated shoulder. The 28-year-old was placed on the 60-day injured list a week ago and is about a month away from returning to action. Anderson is slashing .250/.316/.371 with three home […]

Miguel Rojas Expected Back In Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup on Wednesday as the team continues its series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Marlins said Rojas is day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness similar to a cold that teammate Sandy Alcantara suffered from last weekend, but he should be fine by game […]

Steven Okert Called Up By Marlins

The Miami Marlins called up left-handed relief pitcher Steven Okert from Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Tuesday's game. Okert last appeared in the big leagues in 2018 for the San Francisco Giants. In total, the 29-year-old has 48 1/3 innings of major league experience with a 4.28 ERA and a 44:15 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He'll pitch in […]

Miguel Rojas Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series-opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rojas is dealing with a finger injury, but he's seemed healthy and this may just be one of manager Don Mattingly's "scheduled" days off. It certainly goes against his, "we need to win all of our games" speech […]

Corey Dickerson, Adam Cimber Traded To Toronto

The Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays completed a trade on Tuesday that will send injured outfielder Corey Dickerson (foot) to Toronto. The Marlins also send reliever Adam Cimber to the Blue Jays and will receive infielder Joe Panik and minor league relief pitcher Andrew McInvale in return. Dickerson hasn't played since June 13 and […]
