J.T Realmuto Has Massive Game on Sunday

Miami Marlins J.T. Realmuto had a huge game in a win over the Nationals on Sunday, going five-for-six with two runs scored and three RBI. He is now hitting .317 on the year with 12 home runs and 44 RBI. Realmuto is one of the best catchers in the MLB and holds value no matter […]

Yadiel Rivera Hits First Major League Homer on Saturday

Miami Marlins utility man Yadiel Rivera hit his first major league home run on Sunday off of perennial CY Young candidate Max Scherzer. It was his only hit of the night, but a big one at that. Rivera is hitting just .189 on the season with six RBI, although he has appeared in 76 games. […]

J.T. Realmuto Exits Saturday's Game In the Sixth

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto was taken out of Saturday's game against the Nationals in the middle of the sixth inning. It appears as though this was just to give him some extra rest during a blowout loss for the Marlins, and there is no cause for fantasy owners to be concerned. On the season, […]

Kyle Barraclough Blows Save on Friday

Miami Marlins closer Kyle Barraclough allowed a walk-off solo home run to Mark Reynolds in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday, blowing the save and taking his third loss of the season.

Garrett Cooper Shines in First Game Off Disabled List

After being activated prior to the team's game on Friday, Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper went 2-for-3 with a walk against the Nationals, raising his season average to .300. Cooper has yet to hit a home run in 18 major league games, however, he had 46 during his time in the minor leagues, including 17 […]

J.T. Riddle Out Again on Friday

Miami Marlins shortstop J.T. Riddle (hip) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. He continues to deal with a nagging left hip issue, so Miguel Rojas will play shortstop against lefty Gio Gonzalez. Riddle is not worth an add in fantasy leagues right now. However, Rojas has been hitting […]

Derek Dietrich Sitting on Friday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Garrett Cooper will bat sixth and play left field against lefty Gio Gonzalez. Dietrich does not hit well against left-handed pitching, so he'll get the night off. However, Dietrich is worth a look in mixed leagues. […]

Yadiel Rivera Will Be In Lineup On Thursday

Updating a previous report, Miami Marlins shortstop Yadiel Rivera will indeed be in the lineup on Thursday against the Washington Nationals. He will bat eighth. J.T. Riddle will sit the matchup out. Rivera is having a bad 2018 season and should not be started against Jeremy Hellickson Thursday.

J.T. Realmuto Back In, Martin Prado Batting Fifth

After the Miami Marlins activated Martin Prado (hamstring) from the disabled list, the veteran third baseman will bat fifth on Thursday. That said, there are much better options for daily fantasy players at the hot corner out there. A much better option, albeit behind the plate, is catcher J.T. Realmuto, who returns to the lineup after […]

Martin Prado Back From DL

The Miami Marlins activated third baseman Martin Prado (hamstring) from the 10-day disabled list on Thursday. The 34-year-old veteran was hitting an ugly .194/.242/.226 with no homers and only three RBI in 93 at-bats before his injury this year. It's unclear if he'll play every day with Miami, as Miguel Rojas and/or Brian Anderson present […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 14)

So Kyle Tucker is still destroying the minor leagues. He has a .301/.367/.505 triple-slash with 13 HR and 14 steals (82.4% success rate) and yet the Astros have not given him the call yet. Tucker has absolutely nothing left to prove in the minors and the Astros have indicated that they think he will come up […]

Garrett Cooper Days Away From Returning

Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper (wrist) is days away from returning from the disabled list. Cooper could immediately become a fixture in Miami's outfield rotation now that Lewis Brinson is on the disabled list. The 27-year-old had one hit in seven at-bats to start off the season before his injury but hit .326 in 13 […]

Martin Prado To Return This Weekend

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado (hamstring) will make the trip to Washington D.C. and is expected to be activated from the disabled list this weekend. The veteran Prado had played in just 24 games before his injury this year and was hitting just .194 with no home runs and three RBI. He's mostly useless […]

Lewis Brinson Lands On DL

The Miami Marlins placed outfielder Lewis Brinson (hip) on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday with right hip inflammation. In a corresponding move, pitcher Dillon Peters was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans. Brinson was really only a depth piece in NL-only leagues and was hitting a meager .186 with 10 home runs and 30 RBI on […]

Derek Dietrich is Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Cameron Maybin will slide over to left field and bat fifth against lefty Ryan Yarbrough. Dietrich is getting the night off against a left-handed starter, but is normally the starting left fielder in Miami. Dietrich […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 14
