Eligibility
Marlins prospect Max Meyer has been placed on the 7-day minor-league IL with ulnar nerve irritation according to the Miami Herald’s Jordan McPherson.
Fantasy Impact
Max Meyer will miss at least one start as he deals with ulnar never irritation. He will be reevaluated after a week but the organization does not believe the injury is serious. Meyer is a top-10 pitching prospect so the club will likely play it safe with the 23-year old who is expected to make his MLB debut this season.
Marlins prospect Max Meyer exited his last start with a calf cramp. He walked off the mound with trainers while warming up in the 6th inning.
Fantasy Impact
Meyer had 5 perfect innings up until that point on just 53 pitches. We will have to wait for more information on the injury, but hopefully, it won't keep him out long. If he keeps pitching as well as he has, it may not be long before we see him in Miami.
Max Meyer threw four perfect innings with five strikeouts against the Mets on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Meyer was absolutely unhittable against the Mets, throwing 28 of his 43 pitches for strikes and getting all five strikeouts on his slider. That slider is his calling card, but he also averaged 96 MPH with his fastball and his changeup looked similarly impressive. Meyer had an outstanding year last season, mostly in Double-A, with a 2.27 ERA and 130 strikeouts. He'll almost certainly be with the big club at some point this season but the plan for now is to keep him in Triple-A. If he has another outing or two like he did Monday, however, plans may be changed.
Marlins top prospect RHP Max Meyer twirled six scoreless innings during Tuesday's start for Double-A Pensacola.
Fantasy Impact
The 22-year-old struck out six and allowed just four hits. The No. 3 overall pick from the 2020 MLB Draft, Meyer now carries a 1.84 ERA into his next outing. He's generally considered a top-10 pitching prospect in baseball.
Marlins prospect RHP Max Meyer spun five scoreless innings on Tuesday for Double-A Pensacola.
Fantasy Impact
Meyer struck out three and allowed just two hits. Last year's No. 3 overall pick, Meyer has three scoreless starts out of the four he has made this spring. The right-hander is an exciting pitching prospect to roster in dynasty leagues right now.
