Meyer was scheduled to start Sunday, but will now head to the IL. The Marlins have not announced a starter yet for Sunday's series finale with the Phillies.

Max Meyer struggled in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Rockies, allowing four earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six over five innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling trend for Meyer, whose season ERA has now ballooned to 5.44 with a WHIP of 1.38 across 10 starts. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.2 K/9, and his FIP at 5.93 suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his high ERA and WHIP are damaging, and his strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.28 indicates ongoing control issues. Meyer's current form makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Max Meyer turned in another lackluster performance on Friday, allowing three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out only two over six innings in the Marlins' 6-3 defeat to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a troubling trend for Meyer, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 5.44, with a WHIP of 1.36. His strikeout rate remains low at 6.8 K/9, indicating a lack of dominance on the mound. Given these numbers and his FIP standing at 5.93, fantasy managers should be cautious. Meyer's inability to limit runs and miss bats consistently makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.

Max Meyer struggled in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Mets, allowing four earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance adds to a season that has been challenging for Meyer, with his ERA swelling to 5.58 and his WHIP now standing at 1.36. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.4 K/9, and his FIP at 5.64 suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should be cautious with Meyer, as his current form and underlying metrics do not point to a quick turnaround. His role in fantasy lineups should be considered carefully, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize for earned runs and WHIP.

Max Meyer managed to secure a win despite allowing four earned runs on seven hits while striking out four over 6.1 innings in Sunday's narrow 7-6 victory over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

While Meyer didn't issue any walks, the number of hits he allowed did inflate his ERA, which already stood at an unsettling 5.10 coming into the game. His performance today, characterized by a lack of control over the strike zone and an inability to miss bats consistently, suggests ongoing challenges. With a season WHIP of 1.27 and a K/9 of 7.4, Meyer's fantasy reliability remains questionable, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize for earned runs and hits. Fantasy managers should view him as a risky play, dependent on matchups and perhaps more suited for deeper leagues where innings and strikeouts are at a premium.
