Alcantara (3-4) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.2 innings.
Alcantara gave up two runs over the first three innings of Tuesday's start and was brought back out for the sixth to secure his eighth quality start of the season. He gave up a solo home run to the first batter he faced in the frame, Yohendrick Pinango, and that turned out to be a sign of things to come for the right-hander. After getting the next two Blue Jays out, Alcantara proceeded to give up another five runs, four of which came on a grand slam from Jesus Sanchez. Alcantara struggled with his control, especially toward the tail-end of his start as he hit four batters across the fifth and sixth frames. He has given up at least six earned runs in three of his last five starts, which has ballooned his numbers to a 4.66 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 75.1 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is slated for next week on the road against the Nationals.

Marlins' Owen Caissie: Idle Tuesday
Rotowire
Caissie is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Caissie will take a seat for the first time since last Wednesday, bringing an end to a stretch of five consecutive starts during which he went 5-for-14 with one home run, two doubles, one walk and seven RBI. Heriberto Hernandez will take Caissie's spot in the outfield and will bat seventh.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Rejoining starting nine
Rotowire
Norby (elbow) will start at first base and bat fifth in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Norby will rejoin the starting nine after he was held out of action in Monday's 8-2 win over Toronto due to the left elbow injury he sustained in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Mets. The 25-year-old will enter Tuesday's contest having produced a .213/.324/.328 slash line with one home run, four stolen bases, nine runs and four RBI through 20 games in May.

Marlins' Aiva Arquette: Bumped to Double-A
Rotowire
The Marlins promoted Arquette from High-A Beloit to Double-A Pensacola on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The seventh overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft slashed .276/.333/.517 over 63 plate appearances at Beloit after missing the beginning of the season while recovering from core-muscle surgery, and that was good enough for the Marlins to decide the 22-year-old needed a new challenge. The aggressive promotion schedule for Arquette suggests he could make his big-league debut as soon as early 2027 if he continues to hold his own on his way up the ladder.
Caissie went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Blue Jays.
Caissie got in on the offensive action, slugging an RBI double in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the eighth frame. Monday marked the outfielder's third multi-hit effort in what has been a challenging campaign. He's hitting .221 with four homers, eight doubles, 26 RBI, 15 runs and three stolen bases across 47 contests in 2026.

Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Drives two doubles in win
Rotowire
Sanoja went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Blue Jays.
Sanoja racked up a pair of doubles, with his sixth-inning two-bagger plating a pair of runs. The 23-year-old has swung the bat well of late, tallying seven extra-base hits (one homer), 10 RBI and four runs across his past seven contests. Sanoja has started five of the past six games and should continue to see regular playing time while his bat stays hot.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Tallies two doubles in Monday's win
Rotowire
Stowers went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Stowers piled up doubles Monday, driving in a run with one in the sixth inning and another in the eighth frame. The 28-year-old has shown some extra-base pop of late, tallying five extra-base hits across his past six contests. The overall numbers for Stowers remain underwhelming, however, as he's hitting .216 with a .658 OPS, three homers, 10 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base through 32 games after beginning the season on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain.

Marlins' Janson Junk: Earns third win Monday
Rotowire
Junk (3-5) earned the win Monday, allowing one run on eight hits and no walks over five innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out three.
Junk allowed his fair share of traffic but was able to limit the damage, allowing just one run while capturing his first win since April 28. Monday's outing snapped a nightmarish three-start stretch for the 30-year-old, who had surrendered 19 runs over his previous 16.2 innings. Junk will carry a 4.80 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 43:13 K:BB across 60 innings (11 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Mets.
Norby (elbow) is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Toronto.
Norby had to be lifted from Sunday's game versus the Mets after being hit in the left elbow by a pitch. He is considered day-to-day. With Norby resting, Esteury Ruiz will draw a start for the Marlins in Monday's series opener.

Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Crushes walk-off grand slam
Rotowire
Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a grand slam in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Mets.
The 26-year-old outfielder pinch hit for Owen Caissie in the seventh inning of a 0-0 tie and stayed in the game in left field, becoming the hero when he got hold of a Devin Williams changeup in the bottom of the ninth and sent it sailing 416 feet over the center-field fence. It was Hernandez's first career grand slam and his second homer of 2026, and since being called back up to the majors May 7 he's batting .280 (7-for-25) in sporadic action with two home runs, one steal, two runs and eight RBI. With Caissie struggling badly (42.0 percent strikeout rate and a .635 OPS in 46 games), Hernandez could carve out a bigger role if he keeps coming up big.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Banks second win
Rotowire
Fairbanks (2-2) picked up the win Sunday against the Mets, giving up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.
The Marlins closer did his part to maintain a 0-0 tie in the top of the ninth, and Fairbanks was rewarded for his efforts when Heriberto Hernandez walked it off with a grand slam. Both of Fairbanks' wins this season have come in four appearances since he was activated from the IL a little over a week ago, but on the season the right-hander has a shaky 7.62 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB in 13 innings while converting six of eight save chances.
Marlins' Kemp Alderman: Hits shelf with wrist injury
Rotowire
Triple-A Jacksonville placed Alderman on the 7-day injured list Tuesday due to a left wrist injury, Michael Germanese of Roundtable.io reports.
The Marlins haven't provided word on the severity of Alderman's injury, but he may have suffered a fractured wrist after he was involved in a collision at first base with a baserunner last Sunday, per FishOnFirst.com. Prior to leaving that game, Alderman smacked two home runs, bringing his slash line up to .303/.376/.526 over 170 plate appearances on the season. The 23-year-old appeared to be building a case for a call-up to the big leagues, but the wrist issue will take a promotion off the table for the foreseeable future.

Marlins' Thomas White: Working through shoulder issue
Rotowire
Marlins president of baseball operations Peter Bendix said Sunday that White is recovering from "a bit of a shoulder thing," Kyle Sielaff of Marlins.tv reports.
Triple-A Jacksonville placed White on its 7-day injured list, but Bendix indicated that the injury isn't a long-term concern for the 21-year-old lefty, who is regarded as one of the organization's top pitching prospects. Assuming he's able to rebound quickly from the shoulder issue, White will have plenty of time to build momentum for a potential promotion to the big leagues later on this season. White had compiled a 4.34 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB in 18.2 innings through his first five starts with Jacksonville prior to landing on the IL.

Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Effective in first start
Rotowire
Phillips took a no-decision during Sunday's 4-0 win over the Mets, allowing no runs on two hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
Phillips fared well in his first start of the season, matching a season high in punchouts. The 28-year-old also worked efficiently, throwing 37 of his 59 pitches for strikes. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, manager Clayton McCullough confirmed following Sunday's contest that Phillips is staying in Miami's rotation for now, so the right-hander could push his pitch count in to the 60-to-70 range the next time his turn comes up next weekend in a rematch with the Mets at Citi Field. Phillips holds a 1.07 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 31:18 K:BB over 33.2 innings on the season, but he might be tough to depend on as a streaming option until he's fully stretched out for a normal starter's workload.
