Sixto Sanchez allowed three earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: This outing did little to reassure fantasy managers about Sanchez's reliability, as his ERA climbed further to an unsettling 7.20 for the season. His WHIP also remains high at 1.70, and with a low strikeout rate of 5.4 K/9, his ability to contribute positively in fantasy formats is becoming increasingly questionable.

Luis Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run scored in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: His performance today, marked by a trio of singles and a run, continues to highlight his role as a consistent contact hitter in the lineup. Despite the Marlins' defeat, Arraez's ability to find gaps and get on base remains a valuable asset for fantasy managers, especially in formats that reward batting average and on-base percentage. With a season batting average now hovering around .299 and a modest uptick in his on-base skills, Arraez should remain a solid option in fantasy lineups, particularly in points leagues where contact hitting is key. However, his low power and RBI numbers might limit his ceiling in categories leagues.

Jesus Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: Adding a walk to his stat line, Sanchez managed to make his lone hit of the game count by sending it over the fence for his first homer of the season. Despite this flash of power, Sanchez's season has been underwhelming with a mere .224 batting average and a concerning strikeout rate.His performance today, although a bright spot, highlights his inconsistent season thus far. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his low walk rate and overall production do not yet warrant widespread roster consideration in shallower formats.

Ryan Weathers struggled in Monday's 3-0 defeat against the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed three earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out just one over 5.2 innings. This performance slightly tarnishes his otherwise solid start to the season, pushing his ERA to 3.16 and WHIP to 1.40. Weathers's low strikeout total from this game is particularly concerning, given his decent 8.1 K/9 rate this season.

Roddery Munoz allowed two earned runs and struck out seven over five innings in the Marlins' 5-3 loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Despite showing some ability to miss bats, Munoz's performance was marred by a couple of costly hits and a walk that contributed to the earned runs. With this being his first appearance of the season, his 3.60 ERA and 0.60 WHIP are respectable, but the 6.26 FIP suggests some underlying concerns that could trouble fantasy managers looking for stability in their pitching staff. His high strikeout rate (12.6 K/9) remains a bright spot, though the sustainability of his performance, given the low BABIP (.000), might be questionable. Fantasy managers should monitor his next outings closely to see if he can maintain his strikeout prowess and adjust to reduce his FIP.

Josh Bell went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in the Marlins' 5-3 defeat to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's loss, Bell's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power with a home run that contributed to his modest RBI total for the season. Bell's season batting average remains underwhelming at .198, and his overall production has been less than stellar, with a low .290 wOBA and .220 BABIP indicating struggles at the plate. Fantasy managers should remain cautious; while the power display is encouraging, Bell's inconsistency this season makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.

Bryan De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 8-3 loss to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's struggles, De La Cruz managed to contribute by sending one over the fence, marking his fourth homer of the season. His current batting average sits at .286 through 20 games, showing a decent level of consistency at the plate. However, his low walk rate (0.012) and high strikeout rate (0.259) continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. While the power display adds some value, his limited on-base skills might cap his overall fantasy upside unless he can adjust his approach at the plate.

Fantasy Impact: Fortes will rejoin the Marlins’ starting lineup in the ninth spot and do the catching against the Cubs Friday.


Trevor Rogers delivered a solid outing, allowing just one earned run on four hits while striking out six over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marks a notable improvement for Rogers, who now has with a 3.92 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through his first four starts of the season. His ability to avoid walks in this game, coupled with a strong strikeout rate, suggests potential for better days ahead, especially considering his decent 2.99 FIP. However, the high .369 BABIP indicates he might still be experiencing some bad luck on balls in play.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the Marlins' defeat, Chisholm showed some life at the plate, which could be a positive sign for fantasy managers who have been concerned by his sluggish start to the season. His batting average now sits at .246, and while the power numbers aren't eye-popping, his speed remains an asset, as evidenced by his fourth steal of the season. Chisholm's ability to contribute in multiple categories could make him a valuable asset in deeper leagues as the season moves forward.

Avisail Garcia went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot provided a glimmer of hope but wasn't enough to secure a win. Garcia's season has been underwhelming with a mere .200 batting average and just two home runs over 14 games. His power stroke in this game could hint at potential improvements, but his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers.
