Marlins' William Kempner: Nabs first big-league win
Rotowire
Kempner (1-0) picked up the win Wednesday, walking two and striking out three over two scoreless, no-hit innings of relief in a victory over the Diamondbacks.
The rookie right-hander took the mound in the seventh inning, the third of four Miami pitchers in a combined shutout, and he wound up being credited with the win. Kempner has yet to allow a run in his first five big-league appearances, posting a 0.75 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings, but he doesn't yet appear to be part of the high-leverage picture for manager Clayton McCullough -- he entered Wednesday's contest with the Marlins already up 8-0.
Lopez went 2-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored during the Marlins' 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Lopez continued a great season with his fourth consecutive multi-hit game, his longest streak of the season so far. The shortstop increased his league-leading batting average to .342 and his hit total to 91.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Three-run homer in win
Rotowire
Stowers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-0 win over Arizona.
Stowers went yard in the fourth inning with a 425-foot, three-run blast to right field off of Ryne Nelson. The homer extended the lead to 7-0 for the Marlins and effectively put the game away. The 28-year-old is batting .194 with two homers and nine RBI through eight games in June, and his .677 OPS through 188 plate appearances this year is a far cry from the .288/.268/.544 slash line he posted last year.

Marlins' Owen Caissie: Picks up three RBI in win
Rotowire
Caissie went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Caissie hit a two-run homer on a line drive over the right field wall in the fourth inning against Ryne Nelson for his sixth long ball of the campaign. The home run broke a six-game hitless streak for Caissie, during which he went 0-14 with eight strikeouts. After ending that streak Wednesday, he has a .217/.280/.385 slash line through 182 plate appearances this year.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: No-decision in win
Rotowire
Gusto gave up no runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings during the win against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.
After working as a traditional starter at Triple-A prior to his call-up last Tuesday, Gusto delivered his longest outing in the majors this season Wednesday. The right-hander suffered his first loss of 2026 during his previous start while serving up three runs across two innings while working as more of an opener, but he pitched well versus Arizona and threw 45 of his 66 pitches for strikes as he continues to get stretched out.
Norby is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Diamondbacks.
Norby reached base in all three of his plate appearances during Tuesday's game, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Christopher Morel will handle first base and bat seventh for the Marlins.

Marlins' Joe Mack: Exiting starting lineup
Rotowire
Mack is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Diamondbacks.
Mack had made seven straight starts at catcher, so he's earned a day off. Liam Hicks will be behind the dish for the Marlins, Kyle Stowers is in the designated hitter slot and Heriberto Hernandez will cover left field.

Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Working as starter Thursday
Rotowire
Phillips is slated to start Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks in Miami.
After piggybacking Ryan Gusto for 4.2 innings in relief in his most recent appearance last Friday versus the Rays, Phillips will move back into a starting role for his upcoming turn through the rotation. The right-hander has covered at least three frames in each of his last four appearances (two starts), going 0-1 with a 3.31 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings during that span.

Marlins' Joe Mack: Scores three times in four-hit game
Rotowire
Mack went 4-for-4 with three runs Tuesday in the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
With a .203 batting average, the rookie catcher was barely sitting above the Mendoza Line for the season at the end of May, but his bat has begun to heat up in June. Through seven games on the month, Mack has gone 9-for-23 with a home run and a double, lifting his season average up by 50 points in the process. Mack is still expected to provide most of his value to the Marlins through his defense behind the plate, but he offers a bit of pop and should play frequently enough to make for a viable lineup option in fantasy leagues that start two catchers.
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Drives in two runs Tuesday
Rotowire
Edwards went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Edwards got the Marlins on a board with an RBI single in the first inning before adding another run in the third on a sacrifice fly. It was his third multi-RBI game of the season and the first RBI he's logged since May 29 against the Mets. Edwards is slashing .306/.391/.456 with 11 steals, six home runs and 22 RBI over 285 plate appearances this season.

Marlins' Otto Lopez: Logs four runs in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Lopez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one steal, one RBI and four runs scored during the Marlins' 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Lopez set a season high in runs scored Tuesday while logging two doubles for the second time in 2026. He also logged his 11th steal of the season, tied with Xavier Edwards for second most on the Marlins behind Jakob Marsee (16). Lopez is having a terrific season at the plate, leading the National League in both batting average (.341) and hits (89) while ranking fourth in both triples (three) and doubles (11).

Marlins' Max Meyer: No-decision vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Meyer did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings.
Both of the runs Meyer allowed came on solo home runs from Corbin Carroll and Gabriel Moreno, marking the second time this season that Meyer has given up two homers in a game. He's yielded two earned runs or fewer in 10 of 14 starts and ranks fourth in the National League in strikeouts (86) and in the top 12 in both ERA (2.85) and WHIP (1.09) across 79 innings. Meyer's next start is slated for this weekend on the road against the Pirates.
Marlins' Grant Shepardson: Recovering from surgery
Rotowire
Single-A Jupiter placed Shepardson on the 60-day injured list April 8 after he needed UCL surgery, J.J. Cooper of Baseball America reports.
Per the report, Shepardson was impressing during spring training before suffering the injury. He will miss all of 2026 and much of 2027 recovering from the procedure. The 20-year-old righty logged a 4.23 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 59 strikeouts in 55.1 innings in the lower levels in 2025.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Gusto is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks in Miami.
After being recalled Triple-A Jacksonville last Tuesday, Gusto pitched two innings out of the bullpen later that day in a 7-3 win over the Nationals. The Marlins then tabbed Gusto to fill the open spot in their rotation Friday, but because he was pitching on just two days' rest, he served as more of an opener and made just a two-inning start in a 6-0 loss to the Rays. Tyler Phillips piggybacked Gusto in long relief in that game, but the Marlins could look to separate the two pitchers during this upcoming turn through the rotation. Gusto had been working as a more traditional starter at Triple-A prior to his call-up, turning in a 1.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB in 15 innings over his final three appearances for Jacksonville.
