Marlins activate Owen Caissie from injured list

Owen Caissie

MIA Right Fielder #17

Player Stats

Marlins activated OF Owen Caissie from the 10-day injured list.

Caissie has been a borderline mixed-league relevant fantasy outfielder, delivering top-75 range value in his Marlins debut, hitting .239/.297/.459 with 12 homers, 50 RBI and four steals across 246 plate appearances. The 24-year-old former top prospect homered twice during a three-game minor league rehab assignment and had left the yard three times in his final seven games prior to hitting the shelf with a calf strain back in early July. He was never been a huge power threat as a prospect, but he’s probably going to reach 20 round-trippers in his first extended opportunity at the highest level. That’ll work for fantasy managers.

Pabst: Ohtani's future is as a hitter only

Paul Pabst pleads his warm take to Andrew Perloff that despite Shohei Ohtani being a great hitter and a good pitcher, that the LA Dodger should stick to hitting only, and if he does his legacy will be 'just fine'.

Marlins placed OF Owen Caissie on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar stress reaction.

While it’s not yet confirmed, it’s expected that this will end the 24-year-old outfielder’s 2026 campaign. Xavier Edwards was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Owen Caissie left Saturday’s game in the third inning with right hamstring tightness.

Esteury Ruiz replaced him against the Dodgers. Caissie walked and scored a run in his lone plate appearance before leaving.
Agustín Ramírez

MIA Designated Hitter #50

Agustín Ramírez, Esteury Ruiz, and Jared Serna are all in the lineup against the Mets on Tuesday.

The Marlins are using a pretty strict platoon lineup these days. Ramírez will DH and hit third, while Ruiz will play right field and bat fifth, and Serna will play second base and hit eighth. Kyle Stowers will shift to the bench for this one, as will Owen Caissie and Graham Pauley, who all play primarily versus righties.

Owen Caissie (neck) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Cubs.

Caissie missed time earlier this week with neck spasms, but has been available off the bench. The 24-year-old is in right field and hitting sixth against his former team in Miami on Saturday afternoon.

MIA Right Fielder #17

Owen Caissie hit a solo homer off Braxton Ashcraft in Miami’s loss to the Pirates on Thursday.

It was the only run they’d score and one of just three hits they found against Ashcraft, it was a 402-foot shot to right-center. Caissie is hitting .175/.244/.400 in his last 15 games with 17 strikeouts in 40 at-bats, but he’s getting more runway of late with Liam Hicks traded and Kyle Stowers on the injured list.
Agustín Ramírez

MIA Catcher #50

Fish on First’s Kevin Barral reports that the Marlins are recalling Agustín Ramírez from Triple-A Jacksonville.

There was some expectation that this would happen after Liam Hicks was traded to Tampa Bay, but it’s still a bit of a surprise. Hicks was being used primarily as a designated hitter with Joe Mack entrenched as the catcher, so Ramírez will either be a short-side platoon at catcher or the designated hitter, or a little bit of both. The consequence of that would be that one of Griffin Conine, Heriberto Hernandez, or Owen Caissie will no longer be penciled in as the full-time designated hitter in the wake of Hicks’ trade.

Owen Caissie (calf) went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

It’s great to see the power from Caissie, but we know he possesses that in spades. Seeing him come back from his injury and command the strike zone the way he did is really nice to see. He was used as the DH in this game, so we’ll likely need to see him play the outfield at least once before he could be an option to be activated from the injured list.

MIA Right Fielder #17

Owen Caissie (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Caissie is expected to play three games at Triple-A and then be evaluated from there, so he might return to the Marlins this weekend. In his last 20 games before getting hurt, Caissie was hitting .320/.368/.720 with six home runs, 11 runs scored, 15 RBI and one steal. He did still have a 21/4 K/BB ratio, and strikeouts might always be an issue for him, but he was making the most of his contact and could continue to provide power for the Marlins and fantasy teams down the stretch.

Owen Caissie (calf) took on-field batting practice before Monday’s game.

Caissie had been swinging in the cage without an issue but has now progressed to on-field batting practice. The next step would presumably be facing live pitching before potentially beginning a rehab assignment. Those rehab games could start as soon as next week, and he could be back in Miami by the middle of August if all goes well.
Owen Caissie

MIA Right Fielder #17

Fish On First’s Kevin Barral reports Owen Caissie (calf) has been able to hit with no issues and is running at “80 percent.”

Caissie should be cleared to start a rehab assignment sometime in the next week assuming no setbacks. He was expected to miss 2-4 weeks when he was placed on injured reserve on July 9, so he should be back in late July or early August.

Jake Bauers hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning as the Brewers topped the Dodgers 6-2 in Game 3 of the NLCS on Wednesday.

Bauers had another long at-bat that saw him foul off several middle-middle pitches before pulverizing a 3-2 cookie from Blake Snell to give the Brewers the 3-2 lead. The 31-year-old veteran has his first homer of the postseason, but he’s been excellent in the playoffs thus far while driving in three runs. Bauers and the Brewers are now one win away from their first trip to the World Series as a National League team, and can reach that accomplishment with a win Thursday in Game 4.

Will Smith hit a two-run double in a Game 3 of the NLCS loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

Smith gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead with a bases-loaded double in the sixth inning off Abner Uribe. It’d be the last run of the night for Los Angeles, and the defending champions are now a loss away from their season coming to a close. Smith has been awful in this postseason, and even with the two-run double he’s hitting just .074 over the first seven games.

Cooper Pratt went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in a win over the Dodgers on Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS.

Pratt singled all three times. The steal was the first of the postseason for the 22-year-old, who has hit .360 with a .400 slugging percentage in his first postseason. He’ll assuredly be in the lineup Thursday wit a chance for the Brewers to clinch a trip to the World Series versus the Rays or Guardians.

Chourio blistered a solo homer the opposite way to give the Brew Crew an early 1-0 lead. The 22-year-old has his second homer of the postseason, and he’s driven in seven runs even while hitting at the top of the lineup for the entirety of the playoffs.

Trevor Megill went the final 1 1/3 innings and earned a save Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers.

Megill came in and got Will Smith to fly out with a runner on to end the eighth. He was able to retire the side in order in the ninth, and even with a four-run lead, thanks to a run in the ninth, he’s credited with his fourth save of the postseason.

LAD Starting Pitcher #7

Blake Snell allowed four runs in six-plus innings with nine strikeouts in a loss to the Brewers in Game 5 of the NLCS for the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Snell allowed a leadoff homer to Jackson Chourio, and after that, the left-hander was dominant for the next five innings. And then, the seventh happened. He walked Andrew Vaughn, allowed a two-run homer to Jake Bauers and a solo homer to Garrett Mitchell without recording an out to turn what was an outstanding effort into a middling one. Justice for Kevin Cash? Snell would likely get the start in Game 7 if the Dodgers can force one, but there’s a pretty good chance his season is over.

Robert Gasser didn’t give up a run in his five innings of work during Game 3 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Gasser allowed just three hits and a walk, and he struck out three. He threw 47-of-72 pitches for strikes, and it was a little surprising that the Brewers pulled the southpaw only to see Abner Uribe allow two runs while getting just one out after Gasser left. Milwaukee still was able to get the win, however, and has a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. The 27-year-old could get a start in Game 6 or 7 if necessary, or could be a bullpen option in the coming days.

The Phillies will not bring back hitting coach Kevin Long or infield coach Bobby Dickerson, sources told NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury.

Long spent five years as the Phillies’ hitting coach after previous tenures with the Yankees, Mets and Nationals. Dickerson had also held his spot the last five years and six years overall; the Phillies made him their infield coach in 2019, lost him to San Diego for two years and then brought him back in 2022.
