Meyer struck out six over three scoreless innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, allowing one hit and one walk.
The right-hander fired 30 of 48 pitches for strikes as he continues to get built up ahead of the regular season, and he topped out at 97.1 mph on a first-inning four-seamer to Jose Altuve. Meyer has yet to allow a run over seven spring innings with a 12:1 K:BB and he's flashed ace-level upside before, but after throwing only 64.2 innings in 2025, simply staying on the mound and taking a regular turn in the Marlins' rotation would be an accomplishment.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Strong spring continues
Rotowire
Meyer gave up two hits over three scoreless innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. He struck out four without walking a batter.
The 26-year-old right-hander is having an impressive spring, posting a 6:0 K:BB over four scoreless frames. Meyer is locked into an Opening Day rotation spot, and while good health might be the only thing standing between him and a breakout campaign, he has a lot to prove given his 5.29 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 127.2 career big-league innings.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Sharp in spring debut
Rotowire
Meyer struck out two in a perfect inning during the Marlins' Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals on Monday.
Entering the game in the second inning after Eury Perez got the start and also worked just one frame, Meyer fired seven of 11 pitches for strikes and got both his strikeouts on his plus-plus slider. Meyer is a favorite to claim an Opening Day rotation job, and if the 26-year-old right-hander can manage to stay healthy for once, he could be headed for a breakout after beginning 2025 with a 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 41:7 K:BB across 30 innings through his first five starts before a hip issue that eventually required season-ending surgery in June cropped up.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Cleared for start of camp
Rotowire
Meyer (hip) will be available to pitch this week as spring training gets underway, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins announced Wednesday that aside from Calvin Faucher -- who has yet to report to camp --and the rehabbing Ronny Henriquez (elbow), all pitchers on the 40-man roster are operating with no restrictions to begin camp. A healthy Meyer should have the inside track on a spot in the Opening Day rotation. The 26-year-old turned in a 4.73 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 68:20 K:BB across 64.2 innings over 12 starts in 2025 before he was shut down with a left hip labral injury that required season-ending surgery in late June.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Should have no restrictions in camp
Rotowire
Meyer (hip) is expected to be a full-go for the start of spring training, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The 26-year-old right-hander got off to a fast start last season, posting a 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 41:7 K:BB through 30 innings over his first five starts, but Meyer's numbers cratered after that due to a hip issue that eventually required surgery. With the Marlins having traded Edward Cabrera and Ryan Weathers this offseason, the team has three open rotation spots behind Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez, and Meyer is being counted on to fill one of them. If he can stay healthy and rediscover that early 2025 form, he'll be headed for a breakout campaign.
Meyer (hip) and the Marlins agreed to a one-year contract to avoid arbitration Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Meyer has struggled with injuries throughout his big-league career and made only 12 starts in 2025. He posted a 4.73 ERA and 68:20 K:BB across 64.2 frames before being sidelined in early July by a hip issue that required surgery. Meyer figures to be ready for spring training and should have the inside track on a rotation spot to begin 2026.
