Anthony Bender surrenders late homer in loss

Anthony Bender allowed one earned run on one hit—a solo home run—while striking out one in the Marlins’ 3-2 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Bender gave up a go-ahead homer in the eighth, taking the loss despite an otherwise sharp 2025 season. He now holds a stellar 1.82 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 24.2 innings with 20 strikeouts. The outing shouldn’t concern fantasy managers, but it’s worth noting he’s not locked into save opportunities. Bender remains a valuable bullpen piece, especially in deeper leagues that reward ratios and holds.

Anthony Bender Keeps Reds Quiet in the Eighth

Anthony Bender allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth inning against Cincinnati.

Fantasy Impact

Bender continues to provide strong relief, lowering his ERA to 1.80 with seven strikeouts through 10 innings. He’s not in the closer mix but is trending as a high-leverage setup arm worth rostering in leagues that value holds and clean innings.

Bender Secures Save in Marlins' Victory Over Mets

Anthony Bender earned the save in Tuesday's win over the Mets, allowing no hits or walks in a brief outing.

Fantasy Impact

With a perfect 0.00 ERA and a minuscule 0.38 WHIP this season, Bender is establishing himself as a reliable option in the Marlins' bullpen. His ability to maintain such impressive numbers, combined with a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him an intriguing fantasy asset moving forward, especially in deeper leagues where saves are at a premium.

Anthony Bender locks in Marlins roster spot

Anthony Bender has clinched a Marlins Opening Day roster spot, per team updates, starting in setup behind closers Calvin Faucher and Jesus Tinoco this spring.

Fantasy Impact

Bender’s 8:2 K:BB in 7.2 spring innings builds on his 2024 (4.08 ERA, 15 holds, 59:18 K:BB in 53 innings), securing a Marlins setup role, with Faucher and Tinoco ahead for saves. He could close later. Fantasy managers in deep leagues or hold formats should roster him, eyeing his strikeout potential and a save shot if Miami’s ninth falters.

Anthony Bender (shoulder) activated from IL

The Marlins have activated Anthony Bender (shoulder) from the IL.

Fantasy Impact

Bender will return after landing on the IL in mid-August with a right shoulder impingement. With Calvin Faucher landing on the IL Saturday, Bender could see an increased opportunity for save chances.
