Robby Snelling Poised for Friday MLB Debut with the Marlins

The Miami Marlins are reportedly calling up rookie Robby Snelling to start this Friday, resolving a flurry of name chatter around Dax Fulton. Snelling has flashed elite potential in the minors, striking out a large share of hitters and allowing just two earned runs in his last three starts, and he logged a 1.27 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 81 strikeouts in 63.2 Triple-A innings last season, making him one of the year’s top pitching prospects to monitor for fantasy rosters.

Orioles Bring Kremer Back to Start, Shuffle Rotation Ahead of Schedule

The Orioles recalled right-hander Dean Kremer from Triple-A Norfolk to start tonight, while Cade Povich was optioned to Norfolk. Kremer had been a durable part of Baltimore’s rotation from 2022–25 but was sent to the minors early in 2026 as the O’s rolled with Zach Eflin, Chris Bassitt, and Shane Baz (plus Kyle Bradish and Trevor Rogers) for the five spots. Eflin’s elbow issues eventually led to Tommy John surgery, opening a rotation spot Kremer could fill for now. The move also carries service-time implications: at four years plus, Kremer would reach the five-year threshold in June if he stays on the active roster, limiting future optioning unless he’s kept in the big leagues.
