Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left the game in the sixth inning with a left-thumb injury; X-rays were negative and he is day-to-day, after contributing a two-run single earlier, with Eli White replacing him.
The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Rece Hinds from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-hander Zach McCambley, optioning Hinds to Triple-A Jacksonville. The Reds received McCambley in return. The Marlins also recalled Graham Pauley and placed Leo Jiménez on the seven-day concussion IL while transferring Robby Snelling to the 60-day IL with a UCL sprain. Hinds has notable power in the minors and spring, but MLB results have been limited and he carries a high strikeout rate; McCambley is a bullpen-ready arm with mid-90s velocity who could help Cincinnati later. The deal gives both teams needed depth and flexibility, with Hinds remaining in Miami’s system and McCambley adding pitching depth for Cincinnati.
The Atlanta Braves downed the Miami Marlins 9-1 in Miami, buoyed by Chris Sale’s seven-inning gem and a thunderous offense. Miami grabbed an early run on a Heriberto Hernández sacrifice fly, but Austin Riley answered with a second-inning three-run homer to put Atlanta ahead. Dominic Smith delivered the key blows, delivering a three-run homer in the sixth and later adding an RBI hit to pad the lead, as Sale retired 10 straight at one point and the Braves cruised to the laugher.
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.
Miami made four roster moves: Pauley and Fulton optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville, Stephen Jones selected from Double-A to the majors (and likely to debut soon), and Heriberto Hernandez recalled. A 40-man-slot issue remains for Snelling ahead of Friday’s start, potentially triggering another move.”
The Miami Marlins designated Chris Paddack for assignment and promoted left-handed pitching prospect Robby Snelling, who is slated to start Friday against the Nationals. Snelling, 22, has a 1.86 ERA and a 40% strikeout rate across six Triple-A starts this year, featuring a mid-90s fastball and a plus curve, though his command could improve. The promotion gives Miami a potential long-term rotation piece behind Sandy Alcantara and signals a push to build around a nucleus of young arms.
The Miami Marlins designated veteran pitcher Chris Paddack for assignment after a tough return to the organization, with reliever William Kempner being recalled and set to make his MLB debut. Paddack, signed for $4 million on a one-year deal, struggled to a 7.63 ERA in 30 2/3 innings this season, and Miami will have five days to trade, release, or place him on waivers. Kempner, a former top prospect, provides a fresh arm for the bullpen as the Marlins consider options like Braxton Garrett and Robby Snelling to fill the rotation.
The Miami Marlins will promote catching prospect Joe Mack from Triple-A Jacksonville to the majors before tomorrow’s game against the Phillies, optioning Agustin Ramirez to clear a roster spot. Mack, a 2021 first-round-worthy prospect, is praised for elite defense (framing, blocking, throwing) and has posted a solid minor-league line (.249/.334/.444 with 21 HR in 515 PA at Jacksonville) with improved plate discipline this season. The move is aimed at upgrading Miami’s defense behind the plate and could yield an offensive bonus, with roster and service-time ROY incentives considerations looming.
Javier Sanoja entered the game as a defensive replacement in the sixth and delivered the go-ahead infield bloop with two outs in the eighth, giving the Miami Marlins a 3-2 win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Esteury Ruiz and Liam Hicks hit solo homers for Miami, while Sanoja’s eighth-inning RBI capped the scoring. Andrew Nardi earned the win with a perfect eighth, and Calvin Faucher notched the save. Sandy Alcántara allowed two runs over six innings and Tyler Glasnow struck out a season-high nine for L.A. The Dodgers tied the game earlier, and even after loading the bases in the ninth, Freddie Freeman grounded into a game-ending double play, keeping Miami from a sweep.
The Miami Marlins will activate Kyle Stowers from the 10-day injured list before Sunday’s game against the Brewers, returning the former All-Star to the lineup after a Grade 1 right hamstring strain that kept him out since spring. Stowers wrapped a five-game rehab stint at Triple-A Jacksonville and may see some first-base work as Miami weighs its defensive options; teammate Graham Pauley is available if needed.
The Braves overcame an early Marlins lead to win 6-5, sparked by Dominic Smith’s bases-clearing double in the bottom of the eighth and capped by Raisel Iglesias earning his 100th save, extending Atlanta’s series win streak as they eye tomorrow’s start by Bryce Elder.
Griffin Conine has a torn left hamstring and is likely to need surgery, placing him on the 10-day injured list and prompting roster adjustments as the Marlins cope with multiple outfield injuries, with Deyvison De Los Santos recalled and Stowers nearing a return.
The Miami Marlins will recall 22-year-old first baseman Deyvison De Los Santos to make his MLB debut after Christopher Morel was scratched with a left oblique strain and placed on the 10-day injured list. De Los Santos, acquired from the Diamondbacks in the 2024 A.J. Puk trade, was added to Miami’s 40-man roster and will serve as a right-handed bench option. He spent last year at Triple-A Jacksonville, posting a .241/.311/.363 line with 12 homers, after a strong acronym season with the Diamondbacks in 2024 before the trade.
The New York Yankees acquired left-hander Ryan Weathers from the Miami Marlins for four minor leaguers (Dillon Lewis, Brendan Jones, Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus) to bolster their rotation amid injuries. Weathers, 26, pitched to a 3.99 ERA in eight 2025 starts after an injury-shortened season and is under club control for three more seasons, with a fastball around 97 mph and solid strikeout potential but a recent injury history. The trade provides depth as the Yankees continue to pursue higher-end arms and consider other moves, including a potential pursuit of Cody Bellinger and bullpen upgrades.
The New York Mets experienced a disastrous season, culminating in a 4-0 loss to the Marlins, marking their 70th consecutive loss when trailing after eight innings, and ending their hopes of making the playoffs, with manager Carlos Mendoza expressing deep frustration and disappointment.
