Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, a hit-by-pitch, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 win over the Athletics.
Ruiz is up to 18 steals on the season, though his cold bat has decreased his opportunities on the bases lately. He has gone just 3-for-17 with one walk and five strikeouts over his last 11 contests, though he still has four steals in that span. The outfielder is batting .244 with an .838 OPS, four home runs, nine RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 106 plate appearances this season. Ruiz could get a longer runway in center field if Jakob Marsee (knee) misses time after exiting Sunday's contest early.

Jimenez is hitting .202 with a .571 OPS, one homer, six RBI, 10 runs scored, four doubles and a stolen base over 114 plate appearances.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Perfect for seven innings
Rotowire
Perez (5-6) struck out eight over seven perfect innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.
Perez didn't get a chance to go for history, as manager Clayton McCullough pulled the right-hander at 92 pitches (56 strikes). Lake Bachar then made a mess of things in the eighth inning, and Pete Fairbanks struggled in the ninth, but the Marlins had just enough of a cushion to escape with the win. Perez has allowed just two runs over 17 innings across three starts since he returned from a right gracilis muscle strain. He's at a 3.84 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 89:32 K:BB through 79.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Perez is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.
Marlins' Jakob Marsee: Exits game with knee contusion
Rotowire
Marsee was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics due to a right knee contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Marsee was hit in the right kneecap by a pitch from Gage Jump in the third inning. Marsee initially stayed in the game to run the bases but was replaced by Griffin Conine in the bottom of the frame. The good news for Marsee is that X-rays came back negative, and with the Marlins having an off-day Monday, he may not miss time and could be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Mariners.

He's gone 9-for-23 (.391) since his return while making starts at catcher (one), first base (two) and designated hitter (two) in that span. He's had a consistent enough bat to be a near-everyday presence in the lineup for the Marlins. Hicks is hitting .288 with an .830 OPS, 13 home runs, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and a stolen base over 78 contests. He continues to primarily bat out of the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Strong in 10th win
Rotowire
Alcantara (10-4) allowed one run on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out eight over eight innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Saturday.
Alcantara was in workhorse mode, throwing 70 of 100 pitches for strikes. This was his fourth start of at least eight innings this season. He's been superb lately, winning seven straight starts while allowing 18 runs (16 earned) over his last 48.1 innings. Alcantara is at a 4.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 92:33 K:BB through 123.2 innings over 19 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.
Alderman sports a .286/.375/.486 slash line over his last 10 games for Triple-A Jacksonville with two home runs, one steal, eight runs and eight RBI.
The 23-year-old outfield prospect missed about a month of action after suffering a wrist injury in mid-May, but Alderman returned to the lineup for the Jumbo Shrimp on June 16. After striking out eight times in 13 plate appearances during his first three games back, he's quickly regained his form. Alderman has mainly played right field this season while seeing some action in left field and at first base as well, and a big-league debut in the second half remains possible if he keeps his strikeouts in check.
