Marlins' Anthony Bender: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Miami Marlins transferred Anthony Bender (tibia) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.Bender had already been ruled out for the season after being diagnosed Aug. 19 with a right tibial stress reaction, so his move to the 60-day IL merely opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for one of the Marlins' three September call-ups. Before getting shut down with the injury, Bender appeared in 51 games out of the Miami bullpen and logged a 2.16 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB while collecting three wins, four saves and 19 holds in 50 innings.

Marlins' Anthony Bender: Picks up fourth save of 2025
Anthony Bender picked up the save Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk across a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.Bender took the mound for Sunday's ninth-inning work as the Miami Marlins continue to take a closer-by-committee approach. Lake Bachar, Calvin Faucher and Ronny Henriquez have also seen save chances since the All-Star break. While there hasn't been any specific trend in which reliever receives a save opportunity, Bender's bullpen-leading 2.16 ERA in 50 innings pitched this season could afford him more ninth-inning looks down the stretch of the regular season.

Marlins' Anthony Bender: Collects third save
Anthony Bender struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Royals.Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough continues to mix and match his high-leverage options, as none of them have really stepped up to seize the closing job. Calvin Faucher blew a save chance in the ninth inning Friday, while Ronny Henriquez worked the eighth inning both Friday and Saturday, leaving the ninth to Bender in the latter contest. Two of Bender's saves on the season have come since July 7, and he's riding an 11-appearance shutout streak in which he's posted a 0.62 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 11.1 innings with two wins and five holds. That impressive stretch could earn him more save chances, but it could also make him a prime candidate to get moved at the trade deadline.

Marlins' Anthony Bender: Converts one-out save
Anthony Bender recorded one out to pick up the save in Monday's 5-1 win at Cincinnati.After Miami reliever Lake Bachar, who collected a save Saturday against Milwaukee, failed to collect a three-inning save this time out by finishing the ninth inning, Bender entered with two outs and two runners on to wrap things up. The 30-year-old required only three pitches to fan Reds outfielder Austin Hays and notch his second save of the season. The Miami Marlins bullpen has been difficult to navigate, with seven different relievers tallying saves so far, led by Calvin Faucher (eight) and Ronny Henriquez (five). Henriquez remains the favorite to garner future chances based on his recent usage, but Bender, with his 2.11 ERA in 38.1 innings, could enter the mix as well.

Marlins' Anthony Bender: June struggles continue
Anthony Bender (1-5) took the loss Thursday against the Phillies, giving up one run on one hit in two-thirds of an inning.After entering a 1-1 game with one out in the eighth inning, the right-hander left a 96.7 mph sinker over the middle of the plate that Kyle Schwarber crushed 428 feet to right-center field for the winning run. Bender hasn't struck out a batter in five straight appearances, and all three of the homers he's served up this season have come in June. Over 6.1 innings this month, he's stumbled to a 7.11 ERA and 3:2 K:BB, although he has managed to collect four holds in seven trips to the mound.

Marlins' Anthony Bender: Notches eighth hold
Anthony Bender worked a scoreless seventh inning without a walk or a strikeout to record his eighth hold of the season in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.The right-hander entered the game to protect a 3-0 lead and needed only nine pitches (seven strikes) to dispatch Pittsburgh's 5-6-7 hitters. Bender has a career-low 20.0 percent strikeout rate through 27.1 innings this season and a 10.0 percent walk rate that's just a tick below the career-worst 10.3 percent mark he posted in 2022, but he's generating enough weak contact to make it work, posting a 1.98 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. He hasn't recorded a save since April 1, however, and seems stuck in a setup role ahead of current top closing option Calvin Faucher.
