• Marlins' Max Meyer: Dazzles on Wednesday

  Rotowire Mar 12, 2026

  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 Mar 8, 2026

  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 Feb 24, 2026

  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: Comes to terms with Miami

  Rotowire Jan 8, 2026

  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.

  Rotowire Jul 1, 2025

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Undergoes surgery

  Rotowire Jun 27, 2025

  Meyer underwent labral repair surgery on his left hip Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Meyer landed on the 10-day injured list in early June due to what was initially diagnosed as a left hip impingement, but further tests revealed a more serious labral injury. The recovery timeline is roughly 6-to-8 months, so Meyer could be fully healthy for the start of spring training. He went 3-5 across 12 starts with a 4.73 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 68:20 K:BB across 64.2 innings prior to his injury.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Out for season

  Rotowire Jun 24, 2025

  Meyer is scheduled to undergo season-ending labral repair surgery on his left hip Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. The recovery timeline for Meyer's surgery is roughly 6-8 months, which means his season has officially come to an early end. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.73 ERA and 1.42 WHIP alongside a 68:20 K:BB earned across 64.2 innings (12 starts).

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Going to see hip specialist

  Rotowire Jun 18, 2025

  Meyer said Wednesday that he will soon be examined by a hip specialist, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. Meyer has missed most of June due to a left hip impingement. He played catch Monday, but the revelation that he is headed to see a specialist suggests the pitcher's recovery is not coming along as hoped. The Marlins should have more information on Meyer's condition once the specialist's evaluation is disclosed.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Plays catch Monday

  Rotowire Jun 17, 2025

  Meyer (hip) was spotted playing catch Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. While Meyer is throwing again, the Marlins haven't indicated when he might be ready to return from the 15-day injured list as he continues to recover from a left hip impingement. A clearer timeline for Meyer's return could come into focus once he reaches the point in his rehab where he's facing hitters in live batting practice.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Knocked around in defeat

  Rotowire Jun 2, 2025

  Meyer (3-5) took the loss after allowing five runs, four of them earned, on 10 hits and one walk while striking out five through five innings of work during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies. Meyer discovered a new worst enemy during Monday's start, surrendering two home runs to Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, as part of a tough outing. The right-hander has struggled to keep the ball in the yard lately as he's surrendered nine home runs over his last seven starts. The 26-year-old has allowed at least five runs in five of those seven appearances. Meyer's next scheduled start is a Sunday matinee road battle at the Rays.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Fires quality start Wednesday

  Rotowire May 21, 2025

  Meyer didn't factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings in a 2-1 loss to the Cubs. He struck out four. A solo shot by Kyle Tucker in the first inning was the only blemish on Meyer's line, but Miami's offense couldn't get much going against Cade Horton and the Chicago bullpen. That left Meyer settling for his fifth quality start of the season, but his first in May as he pulled out of a tailspin that had seen him post a 7.97 ERA over his previous four outings. The 26-year-old right-hander will look to build on this performance in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in San Diego.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Nabs third win Friday

  Rotowire May 16, 2025

  Meyer (3-4) earned the win Friday against the Rays after allowing four runs on six hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out seven. Meyer continues to struggle with run prevention, yielding at least four runs in his fourth straight start, but his seven punchouts were the most in his past four outings. The 26-year-old right-hander kept the ball in the yard for just the second time in his last six appearances, but he has a 7.97 ERA and 18:9 K:BB over his last 20.1 innings. Meyer could have a hard time getting back on track in his next scheduled start versus the Cubs, who are scoring 5.7 runs per game across their first 45 contests.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Struggles again during loss

  Rotowire May 10, 2025

  Meyer (2-4) took the loss in Friday's game against the White Sox after allowing five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five batters in 6.1 innings. Meyer squandered an early lead by allowing a solo home run to Andrew Vaughn and a Michael Taylor RBI double in the second inning, and the right-hander was chased in the seventh after giving up three additional runs to a Chicago lineup that averages just 3.4 runs per game. After starting the season with a 2.10 ERA through his first five starts, Meyer has now given up five earned runs in each of his last three outings, elevating his ERA to 4.37. He'll get another chance to turn things around next week while pitching at home against the Rays.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Stumbles again in no-decision

  Rotowire May 4, 2025

  Meyer allowed five runs on 10 hits and two walks across five innings during Saturday's win against the A's. He did not strike out a batter. The right-hander posted a 12.4 K/9 across his first six starts of 2025, but he generated just five whiffs Saturday as he failed to record a strikeout for the first time through 19 big-league starts. Meyer delivered four quality starts with a 2.10 ERA and 41:7 K:BB in his first five outings of the season, but he's surrendered 10 earned runs with a 6:6 K:BB in his past two turns through the rotation. A matchup with the White Sox next weekend should be a prime opportunity for the 26-year-old to get back on track.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Dealt loss Sunday

  Rotowire Apr 28, 2025

  Meyer (2-3) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six in four innings. Meyer's five runs and four walks allowed were both season-high marks. Sunday was also the first time this season he's failed to reach five innings pitched. He surrendered a first-inning home run to Cal Raleigh and allowed eight baserunners combined during the second and fourth innings leading to more runs for the Mariners. Meyer is third in the majors with 47 strikeouts and has been effective overall with a 3.18 ERA and 1.21 WHIP.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Takes loss despite quality start

  Rotowire Apr 16, 2025

  Meyer (1-2) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight across six innings. Wednesday was Meyer's third quality start of the season, during which he generated 18 whiffs while punching out eight batters for the second time in four starts. The 26-year-old right-hander still came away with the loss, with two of the three runs he yielded coming on solo home runs by Josh Naylor and Pavin Smith in the second and sixth innings, respectively. Meyer has 27 strikeouts in 24 innings, which ranks eighth in the National League. He's slated to make his next start at home against the Reds next week.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Locked into rotation spot

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2025

  Meyer threw a simulated game on a back field Thursday as the Marlins prepare him for a role in the Opening Day rotation, Chuck King of MLB.com reports. "Max has been terrific," manager Clayton McCullough said. "He's in a great spot... It's just a chance to do it in a more controlled-type setting." The young right-hander came into camp simply trying to win a rotation job, but since then Braxton Garrett (elbow), Edward Cabrera (finger) and Ryan Weathers (forearm) have all broken down, potentially positioning Meyer to start the second game of the season for the Marlins on March 28 against the Pirates. Meyer, the third overall pick in the 2020 First-Year Player Draft, has yet to put things together in the majors, posting a 5.86 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 52:21 K:BB in 63 IP, but he's looked good this spring with an 8:2 K:BB and zero homers allowed in nine Grapefruit League innings.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Favorite for fifth starter job

  Rotowire Mar 8, 2025

  Meyer appears to be in the lead to win the fifth starter role to begin the season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. There's no big surprise here, as the 25-year-old right-hander's main competition for the job, Valente Bellozo, lacks Meyer's pedigree or raw stuff. Meyer is being brought along carefully in camp after throwing 115 innings last season between Triple-A and the majors in his return from Tommy John surgery, and through three innings so far over two Grapefruit League appearances, he has yet to allow a run with a 2:1 K:BB.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Working on expanding arsenal

  Rotowire Feb 16, 2025

  Meyer worked with new Marlins pitching coach Daniel Moskos this offseason on grips for a sinker and a sweeper, as well as on refining his changeup, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. "My slider is going to be more down in depth and my sweeper's going to come across the plate," Meyer said Friday before displaying his new arsenal in a live batting practice session. "I feel like with the movement, there's definitely a big separation between those two... My change is going to be a really good pitch, too, one of my best pitches. I feel like all my pitches are one of my best pitches right now. I just have crazy confidence in them that I haven't had a lot in the past going through the injury." Meyer has relied mainly on two pitches, his mid-90s fastball and nasty slider, dating back to his college days, and if even one of his other offerings can become a quality pitch, it would significantly improve his chances of not just sticking in the rotation but reaching his sky-high ceiling as a starter.

• Marlins' Max Meyer: Tosses quality start in no-decision

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2024

  Meyer allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Friday. Meyer looked good, registering his first quality start since April 13. The 25-year-old had struggled since being called up July 27, pitching to an 8.10 ERA and allowing four or more runs in his last four games prior to Friday. Meyer will not be facing an innings restriction the rest of the way and should be given plenty of opportunity to find his footing.
