Marlins' Max Meyer: Hit with fourth loss
Max Meyer (3-4) took the loss against Colorado on Wednesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six.Meyer went 1-2-3 through the opening frame before allowing the leadoff man to reach in each of the next two innings, leading to two runs coming home for Colorado -- though only one of those runs would be charged to him on account of a fielding error by Cristian Pache. Meyer would also go on to surrender a solo homer in the fifth and was later relieved by Kent Emanuel in the sixth after failing to retire the first two batters. On a positive note, the 25-year-old Meyer generated 18 whiffs in the contest while logging his second-highest strikeout total this month.

Marlins' Max Meyer: No restrictions for rest of season
Max Meyer won't face any restrictions on his workload for the rest of the season, either in terms of innings pitches or pitches per start, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.The 25-year-old right-hander made three big-league starts in April before being sent back down to Triple-A Jacksonville to make sure he wasn't overworked as he made his return from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in August 2022. Meyer threw only 58 innings over three months for Jacksonville, and the erratic schedule may have played a part in his 4.34 ERA and 1.48 WHIP at Triple-A. Now that he's back in the majors though, the Miami Marlins will keep him on a regular schedule and won't hold him back. After throwing 85 pitches over four innings in his return to the big club Saturday, Meyer lines up to take his next turn through the rotation this weekend in Atlanta.
