Miami Marlins

Michael Petersen

RP

Tasked with handling the top of the San Francisco order, Petersen allowed some hard contact to Bryce Eldridge and Casey Schmitt, but the balls found Miami gloves. Petersen leads the Marlins in holds on the season, with five of his 10 coming in June as he's posted a 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 11 innings on the month.

William Kempner

RP

Kempner was called upon to pitch Thursday against Seattle and Saturday versus Cleveland and struggled in both games, allowing four runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 2.1 innings. He'll now be sidelined until at least July 27 due to the elbow issue.

Owen Caissie

RF

Caissie landed on the injured list Thursday after making an early exit from Wednesday's game, and although the severity of his strain is mild, he'll still have to spend more than the 10-day minimum on the IL and aim to rejoin the Marlins at some point in late July or early August. In the meantime, Rece Hinds, Heriberto Hernandez and Esteury Ruiz will be in the mix for starts in the outfield.

John King

RP

It's unclear when or how King was hurt, but the injury will cost him at least the next two weeks of action. The lefty releiver has provided quality work out of the Marlins' bullpen, posting a 2.48 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB over 40 innings.

Anthony Bender

RP

Bender has given up just one earned run while punching out 16 batters in 10.2 innings this month, but the Marlins will now be without his services through the All-Star break following his move to the injured list. Zach Brzykcy will come up from Triple-A to fill the opening in Miami's bullpen; meanwhile, Michael Petersen, John King and Calvin Faucher are likely to receive an uptick in high-leverage opportunities.
