  • MIA Starting Pitcher #35

    Weathers reported discomfort in his forearm Tuesday according to Marlins pregame host Stephen Strom, and testing revealed the strain. He’ll be shut down for 10-14 days from throwing, and the timeline for Weathers to return is 4-6 weeks. Weathers has flashed as a potential fantasy option in his short career, but yet another injury will set back the 25-year-old to begin the 2025 season.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #22
    Instead, Alcantara will work in a “controlled environment” on the backfields rather than make another appearance in spring training. The 29-year-old will be the Marlins’ Opening Day starter, and he’s not long removed from being as good as any pitcher in baseball.
  • MIA Relief Pitcher #63
    Pilar was a Rule 5 selection for the Braves, but wasn’t going to crack the club’s season-opening roster. The 27-year-old righty heads back to Miami after allowing nine runs over 5 2/3 innings (six appearances) this spring in Grapefruit League play.
  • MIA Relief Pitcher #55
    Gillispie has middle reliever-type stuff, but he’s probably going to open up as the Marlins’ fifth starter in Edward Cabrera’s absence. He’s allowed just the one run through 12 innings this spring.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #27
    Cabrera left his last start with a blister issue after throwing 10 of his first 12 pitches for balls. The 26-year-old was struggling throughout spring training, so the Marlins will not only give him time to heal his blister but also time to continue to work on his mechanics and control. It would seem that Connor Gillispie, who the Marlins claimed off waivers from the Braves in January, has the inside track to begin the season as the fifth starter. He’s thrown eight shutout innings this spring with four strikeouts and one walk, but he should be off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest formats.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #35
    Weathers managed only one strikeout today, but he got through the outing with a good mix of hard groundouts and routine flies. The one real exception was Tyrone Taylor’s 402-foot blast to center, but that was hauled in. With his stuff looking better than ever, Weathers has a 0.79 ERA this spring. We’re not quite as excited about him as some are, but his stock is definitely well up.
  • MIA Relief Pitcher #53
    At least Faucher succeeded in making Anthony Bender’s day look worse. Bender worked a scoreless seventh and then remained in for the eighth, giving up a walk and an RBI double before being pulled with two outs. Faucher took over then and allowed the inherited run to score before finishing the inning. With Jesus Tinoco also struggling, Faucher and Bender look like the favorites for saves in Miami. We assume the Marlins prefer Faucher, though we’d say Bender is the better bet. It’s probably not worth messing with either in shallow leagues right now.
  • MIA Left Fielder #54
    Myers is hitting .281/.410/.375, compared to .250/.372/.444 for Derek Hill. Those two were competing for the starting job in center field in Miami, but with Jesús Sánchez out, they could be in the lineup at the same time frequently during April. Myers has at least probably sewn up a roster spot. Hill is out of options and was pretty much assured of a place going in, but Myers, with one option year left, didn’t have that luxury.
  • MIA Catcher #50
    While fantasy managers were clamoring for it, it was always unlikely that the hard-hitting 23-year-old backstop cracked the Marlins’ Opening Day roster. Ramirez held his own in Grapefruit League action though, hitting .235 (4-for-17) with a pair of homers, three RBI and a stolen base. It’s only a matter of time before he gets an opportunity with the big league club.
  • MIA Third Baseman #41
    Signs of life from Bride, who came into the day with a .138 average this spring. The homer was a high, 355-foot fly to left that Statcast said would have been a homer in two ballparks. Bride remains in line to start at first or DH and hit in the middle of the Marlins order. Ideally, he’ll be overtaken by someone with more upside at some point during the first half.
