Marsee went 1-for-1 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

While he wasn't in the starting lineup against left-hander Andrew Alvarez, Marsee pinch hit for Esteury Ruiz in the sixth inning and took advantage of his opportunities. Marsee struggled to make a consistent impact at the plate to begin the season, but over his last 18 games he's slashing .263/.400/.404 with one home run, three of his career-high 15 steals, three RBI and 13 runs.

Ruiz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

With southpaw Andrew Alvarez on the mound for Washington, Ruiz got the start in center field and took him deep in the second inning to open the scoring, but the 27-year-old was replaced by Jakob Marsee in the sixth inning once Alvarez was out of the game. Ruiz is batting just .191 (9-for-47) so far as a Marlin, but seven of his nine hits have gone for extra bases -- including three homers -- and he's stolen eight bags in nine attempts, giving him some appeal as a bargain DFS option on days when he's in the lineup.

Faucher walked one and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning Wednesday to record his fourth hold of the season in a win over the Nationals.

The right-hander was the bridge between an impressive outing by Max Meyer and closer Pete Fairbanks in the ninth. It was Faucher's first hold since April 27 as the rest of the Miami bullpen remains extremely volatile in terms of roles and usage. Over 25 appearances and 24 innings this season, Faucher also has four wins and a save while producing a 4.13 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 27:20 K:BB.

Lee walked one and struck out one in a scoreless seventh inning Wednesday to record his 11th hold of the season in a win over the Blue Jays.

The 31-year-old leads Atlanta in holds, and he's already got his career high of 19 in his sights. Lee is tracking toward the best season of his MLB career, producing a 1.26 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 35:4 K:BB through 29 appearances and 28.2 innings as the primary left-handed setup man for closer Raisel Iglesias.

Atlanta transferred Murphy (finger) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of DaShawn Keirsey. Murphy is recovering from a fractured left middle finger and will not return until after the All-Star break.

Atlanta selected Keirsey's contract Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Keirsey had an opt-out in his minor-league contract, and Atlanta decided to add him to the 40-man roster in order to prevent him from leaving. He's slashed .260/.298/.384 with four home runs and 16 stolen bases in 49 games with Gwinnett this season.

Atlanta selected Wynns' contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Atlanta acquired Wynns via trade from the Angels on Wednesday and will now add him to the active roster. Wynns will share catching duties with Sandy Leon while Drake Baldwin (oblique) recuperates.

Atlanta designated Tromp for assignment Thursday.

Tromp has gone 5-for-25 with a 0:7 BB:K in 12 games since being added to the roster last month. Atlanta is adding Austin Wynns to the roster to pair with Sandy Leon as the club patches its catching corps together until Drake Baldwin (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.

Susac is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Milwaukee.

After starting the last two days at catcher, Susac will get a breather for Thursday's matinee. Eric Haase is catching and batting eighth for the Giants.

Bowen is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Philadelphia.

Bowen was called up Tuesday and started the last two games for the Padres, going 1-for-7 with four strikeouts. He'll take a seat for Thursday's series finale as the Padres go with Gavin Sheets and Bryce Johnson as their corner outfielders.
