Ryan Yarbrough goes 2 2/3 scoreless in first start

Gusto hasn’t gone more than three innings in an appearance since being activated off the IL, so he’s likely not in the wins mix for what profiles to be a bullpen game for the Marlins.

Brzykcy got into a second game in his four days on the roster. He now has a 3.00 ERA in three innings for the Marlins this year. The Jumbo Shrimp await his return. Brzykcy has been optioned down four times since having his contract selected at the beginning of June.

He spent the minimum 15 days on the list, great news for the Marlins. King will return to the late game mix and, given how Pete Fairbanks has fared this year, we could see a situation where King gets some save opportunities this year if the Marlins start mixing and matching.

Irish had risen to a top-80 overall prospect in the game per MLB Pipeline and profiles as a future masher for the Orioles. He hit .286/.388/.528 for High-A Frederick in 343 plate appearances this year, with 16 homers and 20 stolen bases. He’s a candidate for Double-A next year in his age-23 season. The power/speed combination should have him well on the dynasty radar despite the injury.

Shewmake was acquired 12 days ago after being designated for assignment by the Astros. He hit .286/.250/.429 in eight plate appearances with the Brewers and holds a .259/.270/.424 seasonal line with three homers and a stolen base in 91 plate appearances. He’ll likely be a candidate to change teams again, as he did last time for cash.

With Cooper Pratt finally up and Joey Ortiz hitting of late, it might be more of a platoon/bench role for Hamilton as he returns from his hamstring injury. Hamilton is hitting .240/.317/.333 with 18 stolen bases, three homers and a league-leading 10 sacrifice hits.

He’ll take a seat against LHP Shane Drohan. Rumfield’s only slugging .410 in 18 July games with one homer, but he’s still hitting .317 with a .417 on-base percentage in those games. Troy Johnston, another lefty bat, is manning first base for Rumfield today.

Doyle had begun a rehab assignment earlier in the month after recovering from an oblique injury. However, he suffered a groin injury that delayed that rehab. He was back in the lineup on Thursday but just used as a DH, so he will still need to play the field and play the field for a full nine innings before we can even begin to think about him being activated. The Rockies will also likely need to clear up their outfield logjam at the trade deadline.

Garrett had been dominant in almost 80 innings at Triple-A this season, so this effort raises his ERA to 2.32 on the year. However, he was still not going to be recalled by the Marlins even though they lost Max Meyer (neck) to the injured list. It’s fair to wonder if Garrett’s best path to MLB innings this season is through a trade.

The veteran is now 4-for-9 in three games at Triple-A with one walk, three extra-base hits, and three RBI. Isbel has been out with a Grade 3 plantar fasciitis tear since mid-June. He could return to the Royals lineup as soon as this weekend.
