Aug. 9: RHP Brett de Geus and RHP John McMillon recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and RHP Darren McCaughan and RHP Emmanuel Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville
McCaughan (81 pitches) and Ramirez (42 pitches) threw in the Reds series, so the Marlins needed fresh arms that could provide length. Miami claimed de Geus on Aug. 5 from Seattle. The 26-year-old allowed four runs (three earned) in the 10th inning of the Marlins' 6-2 loss to the Padres.

The Marlins claimed McMillon, 26, from the Royals on Aug. 2. He has given up a solo homer with eight strikeouts and no walks in four innings across four career MLB outings -- all in 2023. McMillon had a 6.53 ERA in 28 appearances for Kansas City's Triple-A affiliate in '24.

Aug. 9: LHP Kent Emanuel's contract selected from Triple-A Jacksonville, RHP Xzavion Curry claimed off waivers from Guardians and RHP Kyle Tyler and RHP Shaun Anderson designated for assignment
Tyler posted a 5.40 ERA in eight outings (seven starts) this season, most recently giving up three runs over 4 1/3 innings on Aug. 8. Anderson allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings of long relief on Aug. 5 in his third appearance with Miami this season.

Curry, 26, has a 4.53 ERA in 50 games (15 starts) from 2022-24. He recorded multiple innings in all seven appearances for Cleveland this season. This is Emanuel's fifth stint with Miami in 2024. After surrendering seven earned runs through his first six frames, he has been unscored upon in his last 3 1/3 innings.

10-DAY/15-DAY INJURED LIST

C Nick Fortes (right quadriceps strain)
Expected return: Later in the week of Aug. 12
Fortes is jogging and working on strengthening. He is hoping to progress to activities in the next few days. Three batters after his seventh-inning single on Aug. 5, Fortes was pulled for a pinch-runner. The hope is this stint will knock out the inflammation so Fortes can return once the minimum 10 days passes. (Last updated: Aug. 9)

OF Dane Myers (left ankle fracture)
Expected return: By season's end
Myers is completing upper-body workouts in Jupiter, Fla., after fracturing his left ankle on July 13, when he kicked a door in the clubhouse following his eighth-inning ejection. Myers saw a foot specialist upon the team's return to Miami on July 14 and was wearing a boot on his left foot prior to the opener against the Mets on July 19.

According to manager Skip Schumaker, Myers will not be out for the season, but it's going to be "some time." (Last updated: July 26)

Luzardo was placed on the 15-day IL on June 22, before being transferred to the 60-day IL on June 23. He was scratched from his June 22 start after dealing with a back issue for a couple of weeks. (Last updated: Aug. 9)

Alcantara initially felt discomfort in his arm on the 94th and final pitch of his Sept. 3, 2023 start against the Nationals and was diagnosed with a right forearm flexor strain.

He began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 21 but shut himself down after experiencing forearm tightness and underwent Tommy John surgery on Oct. 6. (Last updated: Aug. 9)

RHP Sixto Sánchez (right shoulder inflammation)

RHP Eury Pérez (right UCL tear)
Expected return: 2025
