Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Sharp through three spring outings
Calvin Faucher has tossed three scoreless innings across his three Grapefruit League appearances, allowing one hit and hitting another batter while striking out two.Though the sample size is small, Faucher's excellence thus far in spring could give him an early leg up on emerging as the Miami Marlins' preferred option at closer heading into Opening Day. While his ratios over his 53 total appearances with Miami in 2024 aren't eye-popping (3.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP), he shined after the All-Star break with a 2.75 ERA (2.10 FIP) and 21.2 K-BB% before spending most of September on the injured list due to a shoulder impingement. Now healthy again, Faucher has resembled the dominant reliever he was over his final two months of the 2024 campaign.

Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Could be favorite to close
Calvin Faucher will head into spring training as the favorite to close for the Miami Marlins, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.The 29-year-old right-hander took over the closer role in early August last season and recorded six saves in eight chances, finishing the year with a 3.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and solid 26.8 percent strikeout rate, but he missed most of September with a shoulder impingement. In his absence, Jesus Tinoco went 3-for-4 in save chances over the final weeks of the campaign, and Tinoco likely represents Faucher's biggest competition for ninth-inning work. Southpaw Andrew Nardi (elbow) could also be in the saves mix if he shows that he's healthy and can regain his 2023 form.

Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Placed on injured list
The Miami Marlins placed Calvin Faucher on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement.Faucher has been one of the most reliable members of Miami's bullpen this season, posting a 3.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 53.2 innings while picking up six saves and 11 holds. Now that he's set to miss roughly two weeks, it's unclear who Miami will turn to in high-leverage situations, though Anthony Bender, John McMillon and Jesus Tinoco would seem to be the most likely candidates for ninth-inning work.

Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Secures fifth save
Calvin Faucher picked up the save over the Giants on Saturday, hurling a perfect ninth inning while striking out two.Faucher took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a 4-3 lead and got Patrick Bailey to fly out to center on the first pitch before retiring the final two batters by way of strikeout. It marked the right-hander's fifth save of the campaign -- all of which came in August, and he's now recorded multiple strikeouts in two of his last three appearances.

Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Strikes out side for save
Calvin Faucher struck out three batters in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies.Faucher needed 18 pitches, but he got the job done cleanly after the Miami Marlins rallied ahead in the top of the ninth inning. The right-hander is up to four saves in five opportunities since he became the Marlins' closer at the end of July. He's allowed six runs and posted a 13:5 K:BB over 10 innings in August, so he hasn't been dominant, but there are few other options to challenge him on a rebuilding team. Overall, Faucher has a 3.44 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 56:24 K:BB through 49.2 innings this year.

Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Notches second save
Calvin Faucher gave up a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Reds.The right-hander was far from dominant, needing 29 pitches (14 strikes) to get through the frame, but he escaped a bases-loaded jam by getting Jeimer Candelario to ground out. Faucher is getting the first chance to become the Miami Marlins' new closer in the wake of the Tanner Scott trade, and he's been tagged for earned runs in only one of his last 11 appearances, posting a 2.31 ERA and 12:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings over that stretch despite a shaky 1.46 WHIP.

Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Rebounds with first save
Calvin Faucher allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.Faucher took a blown save and a loss after allowing three runs in an inning Friday, but he bounced back Saturday to collect his first save since 2022. Once again, Anthony Bender and Andrew Nardi pitched earlier in the game than Faucher. For the season, Faucher has a 3.46 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB over 41.2 innings while adding 11 holds. The 28-year-old right-hander's walk rate is not ideal for a high-leverage reliever, but it's likely a non-issue for a Miami Marlins team that isn't expected to produce many save chances the rest of the way.
