Marlins will receive clearance to play shortly. Game on.

Dugger and Neidert both on IL so I have no clue who the 4th and 5th starters are. Sharpe and Tarpley are healthy...maybe them? Perhaps Guzman?

Sixto should be up if that's the case.

[gustavopim]

Our pitchers #1, #2, #3 got the Rona. Probably watched video together? Little TV room etc? Same thing with bullpen? Guys staying too close for too long?

Meaning Castaño is on the active active?

Could be a staff piece? Piggy back him and Guzman in a start.

#Marlins' taxi squad: Catcher Brian Navaretto and pitchers Pat Venditte and Humberto Mejia.

Guzman and Castano in the rotation is a clear message to Marlins fans that the FO has packed it in for this year. Probably the right move, but still.

that is IF there is a 2021 season. There's that little CBA thing that needs to be resolved.

They won’t be there long. All the guys are a symptomatic or Barely sick so I doubt they are out for long as it’s already been 8 days

I think that's more of a reason to use Sixto. You can just send him back down when Caleb, Sandy and company are back.

Cervilli has been swinging the bat soooo well. Everything is hard hit. He's a great framer too

sixto has no stamina currently according to all the guys covering jupiter because he got to camp out of shape. cabrera is injured. garrett and rogers are a year away at best. and for all the talk about him potentially being major league ready this year, there is no shot he is gonna be up prior to next years service time cut off. they can get by with those guys for a week against the orioles and then most of the rotation guys will be ready.

has there been any update on alfaro? He's at about 2 weeks at this point.

i hope pablo can stay healthy in his career because his style is just straight up henderson alvarez 2.0

Hmmm...I had read the opposite. There was an article where he admitted he was out of shape in the spring but was feeling great in July.

Folks are going to ask about when the #Marlins would promote top prospect, Sixto Sanchez. The answer is, Sixto is not quite built up to start. Keep in mind, he was eased into throwing in spring. But once organization feels he's ready, Sixto is an option this season.

maybe later in the year

brinson so clearly has 0 confidence at the major league level. all of his swings are so defensive all the time. that at bat looked exactly like the last 2 years.

[rmc523]

I disagree. I didn't really watch spring much, so this is my first time seeing Brinson bat - even though he popped out in the end, it does look like there's a change in approach - in the past, he seemed to hack at everything - he showed some patience in that AB.

Yes he still hacked at some he shouldn't have, but he also laid off a few that he surely would've swung at in the past.

i felt the opposite. everything is a defensive swing. its like he's going up there with the last two years of struggles in his head and nothing else.

it is of course just 1 ab so give him a week of at bats and we will see
