Miami Marlins Transactions

Friday, January 13

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins and relief pitcher Tanner Scott avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.825 million deal on Friday. Scott had a career-high 20 saves in his first season in Miami in 2022, but he also had a 4.31 ERA (3.67 FIP), 1.61 WHIP, 31.1 percent strikeout rate and didn't finish the regular season as the team's primary closer. Because of the way things ended last year in Miami's bullpen, Dylan Floro, not Scott, is expected to open the 2023 season as the team's primary closing option. It's bad news for Scott's fantasy appeal in drafts this spring. The 28-year-old reliever had one career save entering 2022 and has a 4.61 career ERA (3.91 FIP), 1.56 WHIP and 29.9 percent strikeout rate in six major-league seasons.

		The Miami Marlins acquired shortstop prospect Jacob Amaya from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop Miguel Rojas. The glove-first Rojas became expendable when the Fish signed veteran infielder Jean Segura in free agency this offseason. With Rojas now in LA, Segura is likely to begin the 2023 campaign as Miami's everyday shortstop. Amaya, who was ranked as the Dodgers' No. 15 prospect by MLB Pipeline, hit a combined .261/.369/.427 with a career-high 17 home runs, 71 RBI, 85 runs scored and six stolen bases in 133 games for Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2022. Like Rojas, Amaya is excellent defensively and has a strong approach at the plate, albeit without a ton of pop.

		The Athletic's Chad Jennings reported Tuesday that the Boston Red Sox have Miami Marlins' infielder Joey Wendle on their radar as a potential external option to fill in for Trevor Story (elbow) as he recovers from an internal bracing procedure of the UCL in his right elbow. The 33-year-old bats left-handed and spent time at second base, shortstop, and third base in 2022. Offensively, he slashed .259/.297/.360 with three home runs, 32 RBI, and 12 stolen bases in 371 plate appearances. A move from the Marlins' lineup to the Red Sox's wouldn't be a huge upgrade, and Wendle's fantasy value is almost solely derived from his stolen base potential.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		According to a tweet from the Miami Herald's Craig Mish on Tuesday, free-agent starter Johnny Cueto reportedly is in agreement with the Miami Marlins. Cueto is guaranteed $8.5 million in the agreement, per sources -- $6 million in 2023 with a $10.5 million club option in 2024 ($2.5 million buyout). Cueto made 25 appearances for the Chicago White Sox last year, 24 of which were starts. He turned in a 3.35 ERA and a 3.79 FIP in 158 1/3 innings of work while striking out 102 batters and surrendering just 33 walks. The veteran starter will join a Marlins rotation mix that also includes Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez, Jesus Luzardo, Trevor Rogers, Edward Cabrera, and Braxton Garrett.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins and free-agent shortstop Jean Segura agreed to a two-year, $17 million deal on Wednesday. Segura will remain in the National League East after spending the last four seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, the last of which led to a World Series appearance in his first postseason experience. The 32-year-old veteran infielder makes plenty of contact but lacks any kind of power upside. He hit .277/.336/.387 with a .723 OPS, 10 home runs, 33 RBI, 45 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 387 plate appearances and 98 regular season games for the Phils in 2022. With Jazz Chisholm cemented at the hot corner in Miami, expect Segura to move back to shortstop in 2023. The move to the Marlins will be a downgrade in both lineup and ballpark from a fantasy standpoint.

Wednesday, December 14

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins agreed to terms with right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez on a minor-league deal on Tuesday. The deal includes an invitation to spring training next year. The 30-year-old pitched for the Minnesota Twins, Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees in 2022, going a combined 7-5 with a 5.87 ERA (5.55 FIP), a 1.52 WHIP, 15 strikeouts and seven walks in 23 innings over just seven appearances (five starts). At best, Gonzalez will be a fill-in spot starter for the Marlins rotation in 2023. In six major-league seasons with five different teams, Gonzalez has a 5.66 ERA (5.37 FIP), a 1.49 WHIP and a 13.5 percent strikeout rate in 284 2/3 innings pitched covering 68 outings (52 starts).

Thursday, December 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins signed catcher Austin Allen and shortstop Alex De Goti to minor-league deals and also claimed right-hander Nic Enright off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians. Allen played in five games for the Oakland Athletics last season and went 1-for-14 with a walk, a run scored and nine strikeouts. The 28-year-old was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in August. He hit a combined .287/.365/.472 with an .837 OPS, seven home runs, 40 RBI and 24 runs scored in 55 minor-league games. De Goti, 28, spent all of 2022 with Triple-A Sugar Land in the Houston Astros organization, slashing .253/.352/.377 with nine home runs, 69 RBI, 77 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 135 games played.
		The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Jake Mangum as the player to be named later in the trade with the New York Mets that involved Jeff Brigham and Elieser Hernandez. Mangum wasn't one of the Mets' top 30 prospects, and he was left unprotected in this week's Rule 5 draft. Mangum is strong defensively and has a .760 career OPS in the minors in 209 games. The 26-year-old switch-hitter slashed a strong .306/.363/.441 with an .804 OPS, four home runs, 35 RBI, 43 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 72 games at the Rookie League, Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse in 2022. He'll be looking to compete for a utility role in Miami at spring training next year.

Wednesday, November 16

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins acquired relief pitcher JT Chargois in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. The Marlins dealt right-handed pitching prospects Marcus Johnson and Santiago Suarez to the Rays for Chargois and infielder Xavier Edwards. The 31-year-old pitched to a 2.42 ERA and a 4.28 FIP in 22.1 innings for the American League East club last season, striking out 17 batters compared to five walks allowed. He also posted the holds and a pair of pitcher wins. He'll give the Marlins another late-inning relief option alongside the likes of Dylan Floro, Tanner Scott, Tommy Nance, and Richard Bleier.
		Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara won the 2022 National League Cy Young award on Wednesday. He becomes the team's first-ever Cy Young winner after he tossed a league-high 228 2/3 innings this year, which is the highest total for a pitcher since Justin Verlander's 223 in 2019. The 27-year-old right-hander's six complete games were the most in baseball in six years and more than any other team in 2022. He threw eight or more innings in 14 of his 32 starts. Alcantara's ERA (2.28), expected ERA (2.92), strikeouts (207) and quality starts (24) all ranked in the top five in the NL. Alcantara was an absolute beast and continued to throw in the upper-90s with his fastball deep into his starts. He'll cost a pretty penny as a fantasy ace in 2023 drafts.

Monday, October 03

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (wrist) is set to undergo wrist surgery on Wednesday, the final day of the regular season, to address an injured right wrist that he's played with for almost two and a half months. He's in the starting lineup on Monday against Atlanta Braves right-hander Bryce Elder, starting at shortstop and hitting eighth. Rojas has played in 57 of the team's 68 games following the All-Star break entering Monday's game against the Braves. On the year, the 33-year-old shortstop is hitting .237/.282/.324 with a .606 OPS, all of which are the lowest marks during his Marlins career. Despite the disappointment at the plate, he's made 65 straight starts at shortstop without an error and should be in consideration for the National League Gold Glove award at the 6.

Sunday, October 02

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera (ankle) exited Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers after appearing to aggravate his right ankle injury. He was removed from Saturday's start after his warmup pitches during the bottom of the fourth inning. The 24-year-old struck out five over three perfect innings before exiting. His issue isn't considered long-term, and he is expected to return before Spring Training starts, but his 2022 season is over. Cabrera owned a 3.01 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 75 strikeouts across 71 23 innings in 2022.
		Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (rest) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, according to manager Don Mattingly. The Cy Young candidate was originally scheduled to pitch next Wednesday against the Braves, but the team decided to shut him down early. Alcantara ends the year with a 14-9 record, 2.28 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 207:50 K:BB ratio over an astounding 228 IP. Alcantara should be one of the first pitchers drafted next year, especially in points leagues where his volume puts him a step above everyone else.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (ankle) is in line to start on Saturday vs. the Milwaukee Brewers. The lanky hurler left his last start early after twisting his ankle while fielding a bunt in the fourth inning against the Nationals. He will most likely be on a pitch count as this will be his final start of the season and the Marlins won't want to push him too hard. The 24-year-old Cabrera owns a 6-4 record, 3.15 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 70:33 K/BB ratio over 68 2/3 innings (13 starts). He's a name to keep an eye on in fantasy drafts next season.

Thursday, September 29

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic right shoulder surgery conducted by Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Oct. 5, but the Marlins anticipate him being ready for spring training next year. Hopefully this procedure will put the 24-year-old Dominican back on track to pitch for the Fish in 2023, as he's missed the last two seasons with his shoulder injury. In his rookie year in 2020, he went 3-2 with a 3.46 ERA (3.50 FIP), a 1.20 WHIP, 33 strikeouts and 11 walks in 39 innings pitched over seven starts.
		The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring), infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) and pitcher Tommy Nance (groin) from the injured list on Thursday. The Marlins also placed infielder/outfielder Garrett Cooper (pinkie) on the 10-day injured list with a pinkie fracture and Steven Okert (triceps) on the 15-day injured list with left triceps tightness. Jesus Sanchez was recalled and Jerar Encarnacion and Luke Williams were optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville. Garcia is starting in right field and batting cleanup on Thursday, while Wendle is at the 6 and hitting seventh against Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer. With less than a week left in the regular season, Cooper's 2022 campaign will come to an end.

Wednesday, September 28

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (pinkie) fractured his fifth metacarpal on his left hand in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Mets, per Miami Herald's Jordan McPherson. Cooper was hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning and went 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout before being replaced by Charles Leblanc. This will likely be the end of Cooper's season, who slashed .261/.337/.415 with nine home runs and 50 RBI in 469 plate appearances. The 31-year-old has played well when healthy but has endured numerous injuries over the past several seasons.

		Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout while serving as the designated hitter in his first minor league rehab game with Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. Barring a setback on what will likely be a short rehab assignment in the minors, Garcia should return from the injured list at some point this week to finish off the 2022 regular season in the big leagues. After hitting a career-high 29 home runs with the Milwaukee Brewers last year, the 31-year-old Venezuelan slugger has disappointed with the Fish and is currently batting .230/.267/.316 with only seven home runs, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases in 339 at-bats.

Monday, September 26

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) and right-hander Tommy Nance (groin) will start a minor league rehab assignment on Monday with Triple-A Jacksonville. As long as Garcia doesn't suffer any setbacks in the minors, he should be able to rejoin the Fish for the final few days of the 2022 regular season. The 31-year-old has been on the shelf for the last two weeks with a left hamstring strain, but he's getting closer to returning to the starting lineup. Garcia has been a disappointment in his first year in Miami with a .230/.267/.316 slash line, seven home runs, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases in 93 games after hitting a career-high 29 long balls last year for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Sunday, September 25

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (ankle) has left Sunday's start early after twisting his right ankle while fielding a bunt in the fourth inning. Cabrera threw some warmup pitches after the injury occurred, according to beat writer Christina De Nicola, but he was pulled from the contest anyway. Cabrera surrendered two earned runs to go along with three punchouts over 3 2/3 innings before leaving the game. The team should provide an update on his status shortly. Jeff Brigham has taken over for the Marlins.

Friday, September 23

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) will resume running on Friday and said he expects to return this season despite going on the injured list for a hamstring injury. Wendle was put on the injured list on Monday with left hamstring tendonitis, and he'll be eligible to return on Sept. 29. But with so little time left in the regular season, fantasy managers in single-year leagues can likely toss him aside to the waiver wire the rest of the way. The 32-year-old left-handed hitter had trouble staying healthy in his first year in Miami, and he currently has a slash line of .258/.297/.366 with only three home runs, 31 RBI, 26 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in his 325 at-bats.

Thursday, September 22

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins placed infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with left hamstring tendonitis. The Fish also put left-hander Trevor Rogers (lat) on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain and recalled pitchers Braxton Garrett and Peyton Burdick from Triple-A Jacksonville. Garrett will likely start on Friday. Wendle's IL stint is retroactive to Sept. 19. The 32-year-old veteran had missed the team's last three games, and with time running out in the 2022 season, he may have played his last game in 2022. Expect to see Jordan Groshans and Charles Leblanc battle for playing time in Miami's infield with Wendle on the shelf. Wendle has played in only 95 games in his first year in Miami, hitting .258/.297/.366 with only three home runs, 31 RBI, 26 runs and 12 stolen bases in 348 plate appearances.

Monday, September 19

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers (lat) said he has a Grade 1 lat strain that will end his 2022 season. Rogers injured his lat last Saturday in his start against the Washington Nationals, and it will end up being his last action of the season. The 24-year-old southpaw had a really disappointing season after posting a career-low 2.64 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in his All-Star campaign in 2021. In 23 starts in 2022, Rogers went 4-11 with a 5.47 ERA (4.35 WHIP), a 1.50 WHIP, 106 strikeouts and 45 walks in 107 innings pitched. He should have a relatively normal offseason to make some adjustments as he looks to bounce back in 2023.

Sunday, September 18

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins shortstop Jazz Chisholm Jr. (knee, back) underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus Friday. He had been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a stress fracture in his back. The 24-year-old also played through a torn meniscus and underwent surgery on Friday. He is expected to be ready by Spring Training. Chisholm slashed .254/.325/.535 with 14 home runs, 45 RBI, 39 runs, and 12 stolen bases over 60 games in 2022.

Saturday, September 17

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Rogers (lat) was unable to get through Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. The 24-year-old was lifted in the second inning due to left lat discomfort. The left-hander gave up three hits and two runs before exiting with the team trainers. It's uncertain if Rogers is going to be placed on the injured list, but he has been struggling anyway. Fantasy managers can go ahead and avoid Rogers in most fantasy formats.

Thursday, September 15

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle (core) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies in the series finale. Wendle is dealing with a minor right core issue and is expected to return to the lineup at some point this weekend. He last played on Monday. With Wendle still sideline, rookie Jordan Groshans is making his third start at the keystone on Thursday and will hit eighth in the batting order against Phillies right-hander Noah Syndergaard. Groshans will be making only his third major-league start after recently being called up from the minors. So far, he's gone 3-for-6 with three singles. The 22-year-old has become a hit-over-power prospect, but he's worth adding in deeper leagues if he continues to play regularly to close out the 2022 season.

Tuesday, September 13

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins will select infielder Jordan Groshans' contract from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of the team's game on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to sources. Groshans, the team's No. 12 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was hitting .301/.399/.416 with an .814 OPS, two home runs, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and a stolen base in 31 games for Jacksonville to earn the call-up. The 22-year-old was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline early last month. The former first-rounder is worth picking up down the stretch in deep mixed and NL-only leagues, as he should see enough playing time the rest of the way to contribute in those formats. Groshans has recently become more of a hit over power guy, and he hit just three long balls in 103 combined game with Jacksonville, Triple-A Buffalo and Single-A Dunedin.
		The Miami Marlins placed outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and called up infield prospect Jordan Groshans from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. With time running out in the regular season, there's a good chance we won't see Garcia again in 2022. He's hit a disappointing .230/.267/.316 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases in 359 plate appearances over 93 games in his first year in Miami after clubbing a career-high 29 home runs and driving in 86 in 2021 with the Milwaukee Brewers. With the 31-year-old veteran on the shelf, Jerar Encarnacion and Bryan De La Cruz will battle for more playing time in the outfield.

Monday, September 12

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday for the first game of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers. Garcia is dealing with a hamstring injury that previously put him on the injured list for a month, and he aggravated the injury on Saturday. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day with left hamstring discomfort, but if he doesn't return to the lineup soon, he might have to be shut down for the rest of the season. Jerar Encarnacion is starting in right field and hitting eighth, while Garrett Cooper is serving as the designated hitter and batting third for Game 1 on Monday against Rangers right-hander Glenn Otto.
		Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (back) is unlikely to return before the end of the season, according to manager Don Mattingly. Soler recently completed baseball activities in Florida, including taking batting practice on the field on Aug. 29 and hitting in a simulated game on Sept. 3, had his rehab moved to Miami on Sept. 9. He last played in a major league game on July 22, when he was removed due to back stiffness. "Soli's kind of been a little bit 'feel 100 percent, feel 100 percent, feel a little something, feel 100 percent, feel 100 percent, feels a little something,'" Mattingly said. "It seems like [a return this season] is probably out the window, too." The 30-year-old Cuban slugger has hit just .207/.295/.400 with 13 homers, 34 RBI and 32 runs scored in 270 at-bats for Miami this season. He can be dropped in redraft leagues.
		Miami Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett (oblique) rejoined the team on Sept. 9 after starting a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 7, when he allowed one run on one hit over 3 1/3 innings, striking out three and walking none on 46 pitches. The Marlins have Garrett listed as the Game 2 starter for a doubleheader on Monday against the Texas Rangers, so he'll be activated from the injured list on Monday. The 25-year-old southpaw went on the IL on Aug. 20 with a right oblique strain. Because he only threw 45 pitches in one rehab start, he'll likely be on a short leash in his first start back on Monday, making him a risky option for starting fantasy lineups. In his 13 starts for Miami this year, Garrett has been solid, posting a 3.67 ERA (3.47 FIP), a 1.21 WHIP, 71 strikeouts and 17 walks in 68 2/3 innings in his third season with Miami.
		Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (elbow) had Tommy John surgery on Aug. 30 in Los Angeles. His rehab was moved from Jupiter, Fla., to Miami on Sept. 9. He exited an outing after just five pitches on Aug. 13 and was placed on the injured list on Aug. 14. There's a good chance that the 27-year-old right-hander won't pitch at all in the majors in 2023 after having elbow reconstruction. Before his injury last month, Bender had a 3.26 ERA (4.78 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP, six saves and 17 strikeouts in 19 1/3 relief innings in just his second major league season.

Sunday, September 11

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. He has been sidelined since June 29 with a stress fracture in his back. The 24-year-old won't be activated from the injured list and will not return in 2022. He slashed .254/.325/.535 with 14 home runs, 45 RBI, 39 runs, and 12 stolen bases over 60 games in 2022. Chisholm will focus on a full recovery and should be 100% healthy heading into Spring Training in 2023.
		Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia departed Saturday's contest in the first inning after experiencing discomfort in his left hamstring. He recently returned from the IL after missing a month of action with a strain to the same hamstring, so it's a bit concerning that he got lifted after playing one half-inning in right field. Perhaps the club is just playing it cautious with Garcia, but look for an update on his status prior to Sunday's finale versus the Mets.

Tuesday, September 06

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins second baseman Jon Berti (hip) is back at second base and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. Berti missed almost a full week with a hip injury, but he'll return to face the Phils on Tuesday. The 32-year-old has mostly been useful in fantasy for his speed, as he leads baseball with 32 stolen bases in 75 games played this year. Overall, he's slashing .259/.349/.365 with only three home runs, 21 RBI and 35 runs scored in 292 plate appearances. His fantasy managers will be hoping he can finish the season strong after he hit just .222 (14-for-63) with a homer, two RBI, three runs scored, four steals and 16 strikeouts in 17 games in August.
		The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) from the injured list on Tuesday and optioned Peyton Burdick to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Garcia will immediately return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola, as he's starting in right field and hitting cleanup. The 31-year-old veteran will be playing in his first major league game since Aug. 2, but he did get six minor league games to shake the rust off before he was reinstated. Garcia will return to being Miami's regular right fielder to close out the 2022 season. In 323 at-bats this year, he's slashing .232/.269/.322 with seven long balls, 30 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Thursday, September 01

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Jon Berti (hip) was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays with right hip soreness. He went 2-for-4 with a home run and a steal before exiting during the eighth inning of Wednesday's game. The 32-year-old is considered day-to-day. Miami is off on Thursday; Berti's next chance to return to the lineup will be Friday against the Atlanta Braves. He is a vital asset in 5x5 rotisserie leagues and leads the majors with 32 stolen bases. Luke Williams replaced Berti in Wednesday's contest. Williams would handle third-base duties and see an uptick in playing time if Berti misses any games.

Wednesday, August 31

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Miami Marlins activated left-hander Trevor Rogers (back) from the 15-day injured list on Wednesday, and he's starting on the mound against the Tampa Bay Rays. Jake Fishman was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. We don't recommend Rogers for fantasy lineups on Wednesday in his first start in the majors in over a month. The 24-year-old southpaw didn't look good on his minor league rehab assignment, either, until his most recent outing for Triple-A Jacksonville when he struck out 12 in six innings. An All-Star in 2021, Rogers has been disappointing for his fantasy managers this year with a 4-10 record, 5.85 ERA (4.58 FIP), 1.59 WHIP, 83 strikeouts and 41 walks in 87 2/3 innings over 19 starts.

Monday, August 29

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers (back) is back with the team after he struck out 12 in six hitless and scoreless innings in his latest minor league rehab start last Thursday, and he threw a bullpen session on Sunday. Rogers said he's feeling the best he has, and his spot in the rotation would come up on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 24-year-old southpaw was placed on the 15-day injured list on July 29 with lower-back spasms, but he looked like his old self in his latest rehab start. Rogers was an All-Star for the first time in 2021, but he's disappointed this year with a 5.85 ERA (4.59 FIP), a 1.59 WHIP and an 83:41 K:BB in 87 2/3 innings over 19 starts. He'll be a shaky fantasy play on Wednesday against Tampa if he indeed gets the nod.

Friday, August 26

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers (back) looked great in his minor league rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. He threw six shutout innings without allowing a hit while walking one and striking out 12. It was a nice bounce-back outing after he gave up five runs in just two innings in his first start for Jacksonville last week. The 24-year-old southpaw has had a rough season in the big leagues in 2022 with a 4-10 record, 5.85 ERA (4.58 FIP), a 1.59 WHIP and an 83:41 K:BB in 87 2/3 innings over 19 starts. Rogers made the All-Star team last year and had a pristine 2.64 ERA in 25 starts, so he's been a massive disappointment this season. He'll be hoping for a strong start to the season at least, but fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up.

Wednesday, August 24

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (concussion) started a minor league rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday. Manager Don Mattingly said the plan is for Cooper to play three days in a row before being evaluated. Mattingly doesn't think Cooper will need much more time than that, as he has recovered from his concussion symptoms quickly. The 31-year-old could be back in Miami's lineup by early next week, barring any setbacks. The first-time All-Star should return to a regular role in Miami once he's ready after hitting .269/.345/.415 with seven home runs, 42 RBI and 28 runs scored in 368 plate appearances over 94 games with the Fish before suffering a head injury last week.

Saturday, August 20

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (concussion) was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday.
