Marlins' Griffin Conine: Set to begin rehab assignment
Rotowire
Conine (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.
Conine required left hamstring surgery in late April but has progressed enough that he's ready to test things out in a game setting. Given how much time the 28-year-old has missed, Conine's rehab assignment will likely be fairly lengthy.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Rehab start scheduled for Thursday
Rotowire
Perez (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.
Perez is slated to throw 3-to-4 innings and/or 50 pitches in the outing. It will be the first start for Perez since he went down with a right gracilis strain more than two weeks ago. Initial estimates pegged Perez's absence to last as long as eight weeks, but it appears he'll have a good shot to be back before then.

Marlins' Joe Mack: Pops second homer
Rotowire
Mack went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
The rookie catcher hit his second career homer in the second inning off Paul Skenes, giving the Marlins a 2-0 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Mack is starting to find a groove at the plate in the majors, slashing .313/.371/.531 over 10 games in June with a double, both his long balls, five runs and eight RBI.

Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Belts sixth homer
Rotowire
Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
Getting the start in left field and batting fifth, Hernandez took Paul Skenes deep in the second inning to open the scoring in a 4-2 victory. The 26-year-old outfielder has been locked in this month, slashing .333/.368/.694 through 10 games in June with four of his six homers on the season, along with eight runs and eight RBI. The surge has moved Hernandez to the top of the depth chart in left field, allowing Kyle Stowers to see more time at first base.
Fairbanks secured the save Sunday against the Pirates, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.
Although Fairbanks held on for the save Sunday, his grip on Miami's closer role appears to be tenuous at best. The hard-throwing right-hander has given up at least one run in eight of his last 19 appearances, but he has punched out multiple batters eight times during that span. For the year, Fairbanks has a 6.75 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB over 20 innings while converting nine of his 11 save chances.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Remains undefeated in seventh win
Rotowire
Meyer (7-0) notched the win Sunday against the Pirates, allowing one run on six hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out nine.
Meyer was able to outduel Paul Skenes on Sunday, firing six innings of one-run ball. The 27-year-old right-hander, who continues to push for his first career All-Star selection, tied a season high in strikeouts and has now pitched at least five frames while yielding two runs or fewer 10 times this year. Still undefeated in 2026, Mayer is next set to take an impressive 2.75 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 95:32 K:BB across 85 innings into a soft home matchup versus the Giants.
Norby will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Norby's playing time has been trending down lately while the Marlins have been keeping the hot-hitting Heriberto Hernandez's bat in the lineup. Miami will include Norby in the lineup Sunday for just the fifth time in the last 11 games, with the 26-year-old covering the hot corner this time after his previous four starts had come at first base. With Hernandez gaining a foothold in left field, the Marlins could continue to lean primarily on Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers at first base rather than Norby, who is slashing a measly .193/.317/.307 since the beginning of May.

Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Nabbing third straight start
Rotowire
Hernandez will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
After recalling Hernandez from Triple-A Jacksonville on May 7, the Marlins had initially been using him as a short-side platoon player. The 26-year-old's hot-hitting ways have allowed him to gain traction against right-handed pitching, however. Hernandez will be included in the starting nine for a third straight matchup versus a righty, with the 26-year-old batting out of the No. 5 spot in each of those contests. He's slashing a robust .313/.338/.563 with five home runs, two steals, 16 RBI and nine runs over 22 games since his call-up.

Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Receiving breather Sunday
Rotowire
Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Sanoja will get a breather after he started the last four games -- three at third base, one at shortstop -- and went 2-for-14 with one double, one walk and three runs. Otto Lopez will be back at shortstop after serving as the Marlins' designated hitter Saturday, while Connor Norby receives the nod at the hot corner.
Caissie isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
Caissie will get a chance to regroup after going just 2-for-24 at the plate since the beginning of the month. While he sits, Heriberto Hernandez, Jakob Marsee and Kyle Stowers will start across Miami's outfield.

Marlins' Joe Mack: Riding pine Saturday
Rotowire
Mack isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
Mack will step out of the lineup Saturday after going 0-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts across his last two games. Liam Hicks will move behind the plate as a result, putting Otto Lopez in the DH spot and giving Leo Jimenez a start at third base.
Marlins' Liam Hicks: Carries offense in Friday's win
Rotowire
Hicks went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Pirates.
The breakout slugger took Antwone Kelly deep in the eighth inning to put a cap on another productive night. Hicks is up to 50 RBI on the season, tied for sixth in the majors, and through 67 contests he's slashing .274/.355/.489 with 13 homers and 38 runs while splitting his time almost equally between catcher, first base and DH.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Sharp in sixth win
Rotowire
Alcantara (6-4) picked up the win Friday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over eight innings in an 8-3 victory over the Pirates. He struck out seven.
The right-hander reached 1,000 career strikeouts along the way, as Alcantara delivered his third straight quality start and 10th of the season on 102 pitches (70 strikes). Through his first three outings in June, he's produced a 2.86 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB over 22 innings, showing glimpses of his 2022 Cy Young form. Alcantara will look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Philadelphia.
Bachar will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Pirates, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins will be relying on their bullpen to get through Saturday's contest, and it will be Bachar taking the mound to begin the game. The 31-year-old fared well during his latest opening assignment last Saturday against the Rays, striking out three batters across three perfect innings. He'll likely be asked to give the Marlins around 3-to-4 innings and 50 pitches in Pittsburgh.
