Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Blows save, takes loss Sunday
Rotowire
Fairbanks (3-4) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Brewers after allowing three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning.
Fairbanks entered in the ninth inning tasked with protecting a one-run lead but allowed a leadoff single before issuing a walk to Brice Turang. He briefly settled down with a strikeout, but William Contreras followed with a three-run walk-off homer to hand Fairbanks his fourth loss of the season. The right-hander has now blown three of his 16 save opportunities, and after posting a 6.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP during the first half, Sunday's outing did little to inspire confidence for fantasy managers heading into the future.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Dominates in no-decision
Rotowire
Perez did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Brewers, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out nine over six scoreless innings.
Perez threw 66 of his 93 pitches for strikes and generated 17 whiffs in a dominant outing to start his second half of the season. He never faced more than four batters in an inning and struck out the side twice. The Marlins were unable to hold the lead in the ninth, costing Perez the win. The right-hander picked up where he left off before the All-Star break, as he has now posted a 1.14 ERA and 46:9 K:BB across 39.1 innings in his last six starts. He'll carry a 3.53 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 104:37 K:BB into his next scheduled start at home against the Padres.
Lopez (finger) is out of Sunday's lineup for Miami's matchup against Milwaukee.
After taking a ground ball to his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game, Lopez will be on the bench for the series finale against Milwaukee. Javier Sanoja will play shortstop and bat cleanup in Lopez's absence on Sunday.

Marlins' Rece Hinds: Optioned to Jacksonville
Rotowire
Miami optioned Hinds to Jacksonville on Sunday.
After spending just over a week with the big-league club, Hinds will make his way back down to Jacksonville. The 25-year-old logged just two at-bats with the Marlins in his second big-league stint this season and his first with Miami. The Marlins recalled Graham Pauley from Triple-A to take Hinds' spot on the active roster.

Marlins' Graham Pauley: Back with Miami
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Pauley will return to the big-league club after spending a couple of weeks in Triple-A. In the majors this season, the 25-year-old has slashed .176/.219/.297 with one homer and 11 RBI. To make room for Pauley on the roster, Miami optioned Rece Hinds to Jacksonville.
Meyer took a no-decision Saturday against Milwaukee, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out five.
Meyer labored Saturday, needing 74 pitches to complete three frames in his shortest outing of the campaign. The Marlins opted to give the 27-year-old extra rest ahead of the All-Star break and skip his final turn through the rotation of the first half, and Meyer showed signs of rust in the aftermath. The right-hander should revert to more typical rest ahead of his next appearance against the Padres, still holding a strong 2.68 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 121:41 K:BB over a career-high 111 innings.
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said after Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Brewers that Lopez will get his right ring finger tested after a ground ball "got the nail pretty good," Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Lopez took a ground ball to his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game. He was able to stay in the contest, but he'll undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury. Leo Jimenez and Javier Sanoja could see some reps at shortstop if Lopez were to miss time.
Conine went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.
The second-generation player took Logan Henderson deep in the fifth inning for the Marlins' only offense on the night. Conine has been productive in a strong-side platoon role since he came off the IL in late June, and over his last 61 plate appearances he's produced a .308/.410/.596 slash line with four of his six homers on the season and nine of his 13 RBI.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Fans seven in Friday's no-decision
Rotowire
Alcantara didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out seven.
The veteran right-hander produced his third straight quality start in July and MLB-leading 15th of the season on 104 pitches (60 strikes), but he left the mound with the score tied 1-1. Over 21 innings this month, Alcantara has delivered a 2.14 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB, and with the Marlins firmly in playoff contention, the odds of him being dealt at the trade deadline are dwindling. Alcantara will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in Houston.
Henriquez (elbow) began playing catch from 60 feet out Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Henriquez has already been ruled out for the entirety of the 2026 campaign after undergoing UCL reconstruction surgery in the offseason, but the fact that he's now playing catch is an encouraging sign of progress. Assuming his rehab continues smoothly, he should be ready for the start of spring training in 2027.

Marlins' Anthony Bender: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Bender (shin) was cleared to begin a throwing program Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Bender has been on the shelf since the end of June due to a stress reaction in his right shin. He remains without a definitive timeline to return to Miami's bullpen, though his return to activity is certainly a positive sign.
