Tinoco underwent UCL reconstruction surgery on his right arm Friday, Alex Krutchik of Fish on First reports.
The timeline for Tinoco's recovery is 13-to-14 months, which means the 30-year-old right-hander will miss the entire 2026 season while recovering from his UCL procedure. He's been on the Marlins' injured list since early June and was pulled off his throwing program in mid-August after suffering a setback during his throwing program. He appeared in 20 games out of the bullpen for the Marlins in 2025 and posted a 5.12 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and four saves (on six chances) across 19.1 innings.

Marlins' Janson Junk: Cleared to return Monday
Rotowire
Junk (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Monday against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Junk pitched well in what will be his lone rehab start, striking out eight over five innings of one-run ball Tuesday at Triple-A Jacksonville. The right-hander has been sidelined since late August with right ulnar nerve irritation in his pitching elbow. Junk has collected a 4.09 ERA and 61:10 K:BB over 88 innings covering 12 starts and five relief appearances for Miami in 2025.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Rejoining rotation next week
Rotowire
Weathers (lat) will rejoin the Marlins' rotation in the middle of next week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The exact date of Weathers' return had not been confirmed, but he appears lined up to start Sept. 10 against the Nationals. Weathers has been sidelined since early June with a left lat strain but has been cleared to return after making a couple rehab starts. The left-hander threw 68 pitches and went 4.2 innings in his last rehab outing, so he will have a relatively limited workload in next week's return to the Marlins' rotation.

Marlins' Derek Hill: IL move official
Rotowire
Miami placed Hill (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 2.
Hill suffered a hamstring strain in Monday's game against the Nationals, and a report Wednesday indicated he'll miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to the issue. Friday's move opens up a spot on the active roster for Jack Winkler, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Placed on IL with quad strain
Rotowire
The Marlins placed Norby on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a strained left quadriceps.
Maximo Acosta was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday and is starting at second base Friday against the Phillies, as Javier Sanoja will fill Norby's void at third base and bat ninth. Norby had been batting .303 with a .909 OPS over the previous 30 days.

Marlins' Luarbert Arias: Loses 40-man roster spot
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Arias for assignment Friday.
Arias has been designated for assignment by Miami for the second time this season. In seven appearances with the Marlins, he's surrendered 13 runs on 17 hits and five walks across 10.1 innings. He's posted a 3.93 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP in 18.1 innings with Triple-A Jacksonville. His spot on the active roster will go to Josh Simpson, while Jack Winkler takes the open spot on the 40-man roster.

Marlins' Jack Winkler: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Marlins selected Winkler's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
Miami designated Winkler for assignment last month, but he's back on the 40-man roster. He took 12 plate appearances for the Marlins earlier this season and slashed .167/.167/.333 with one stolen base and a 0:4 BB:K.

Marlins' Josh Simpson: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Simpson from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
Simpson (2-2) has appeared in 23 games out of the Miami bullpen this season but has an ugly 8.87 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 22.1 innings of work. He'll fill a middle-relief role for the Marlins.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Impresses in second rehab start
Rotowire
Weathers (lat) struck out three and scattered five hits and one walk over 4.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start Thursday with Triple-A Jacksonville.
Making his second rehab appearance for Jacksonville, Weathers built up to 68 pitches after tossing 60 in his previous outing last Saturday. He fired 44 of his pitches for strikes and induced swings and misses on 12 of those offerings. The Marlins have yet to reveal the next step for Weathers, but the southpaw could be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to make a start during next week's series with the Nationals, which would mark his first appearance at the big-league level since June 7. If Weathers is activated during the upcoming week, he would likely be operating with a light workload restriction in his first start back from the IL.

Marlins' Janson Junk: Sharp in rehab start
Rotowire
Junk (elbow) struck out eight and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks over five innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville.
Back on the mound for the first time since landing on the injured list Aug. 27 due to right ulnar nerve irritation, Junk tossed 61 pitches and performed about as well as Miami could have hoped during the Triple-A outing. Assuming he bounces back well from his between-starts bullpen session, Junk could be cleared to return from the IL for Sunday's game versus the Phillies or for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals.

Marlins' Valente Bellozo: Making start Friday
Rotowire
Bellozo is slated to start Friday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Bellozo opened the season as a starter for Miami, but despite turning in a 3.27 ERA in 22 innings over his first five outings, he was dispatched to the bullpen in mid-May. With injuries having piled up in the Miami rotation of late, Bellozo will now get the chance to pick up his sixth start of the season, but he could be headed back to a relief role after Friday's contest. In his most recent appearance this part Friday against the Mets, Bellozo tossed 4.1 innings and 65 pitches out of the bullpen, so he should be able to provide the Marlins with a decent amount of length in his first start since May 13.

Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Coming back in majors
Rotowire
The Marlins will recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville before Friday's contest against the Phillies, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
Acosta will take the roster spot vacated by the injured Connor Norby (undisclosed) and could see ample playing time at third base, at least until Graham Pauley (oblique) returns. The 22-year-old Acosta went went just 4-for-24 during his nine games with the big club, though three of those hits left the ballpark. Acosta has slashed .229/.315/.377 with 13 homers and 31 steals this season with Jacksonville.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Heading back to injured list
Rotowire
The Marlins will place Norby on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game versus the Phillies with an undisclosed injury, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
It's not clear what injury Norby is dealing with, but he was removed late from the Marlins' last game Wednesday against the Nationals. The Marlins should have more on his status soon. Maximo Acosta will replace Norby on the roster and could be the team's primary third baseman until Graham Pauley (oblique) returns. Norby has been limited to only 77 games this season due to injuries.

Marlins' Kyle Stowers: Starting rehab assignment
Rotowire
Stowers (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
As expected, Stowers will begin his minor-league rehab assignment Friday, likely the last step in his recovery from a strained left oblique. The outfielder has been sidelined since Aug. 17 and shouldn't require too many games at Jacksonville before being reinstated from the injured list.
Marlins' Robby Snelling: Nothing left to prove at Triple-A
Rotowire
Snelling allowed one run on seven hits over seven innings for Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, striking out a career-high 13 without walking a batter.
The lack of a spot on the 40-man roster seems to be the only thing keeping Snelling from making his major-league debut in 2025. The 21-year-old southpaw has delivered seven straight quality starts at Triple-A, fanning double-digit batters three times during that stretch while producing a 1.24 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 62:9 K:BB through 43.2 innings. The Marlins have so far declined to promote Snelling despite having six starting pitchers on the IL at the moment, but despite the team's apparent desire to delay starting his service-time clock, he clearly has nothing left to learn in the International League.

Marlins' Joey Wiemer: Pops first homer of 2025
Rotowire
Wiemer went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Nationals.
The 26-year-old outfielder took Mitchell Parker deep in the fifth inning, giving Wiemer his first homer in the majors this season. Through eight games since joining the Marlins' roster, he's batting .259 (7-for-27) with six RBI, but a 0:14 BB:K offers little reassurance that he'll remain productive.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Struggles continue Wednesday
Rotowire
Perez (6-5) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins were downed 10-5 by the Nationals, surrendering seven runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out two.
Two of the hits off Perez left the yard, including Nasim Nunez's first career homer in the majors -- continuing a downturn that has seen the right-hander serve up multiple home runs in four of six starts since the beginning of August, a stretch in which he's been saddled with an 8.53 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 25.1 innings. Perez will try to get back on track in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week in a rematch with the Nats.

Marlins' Kevin Defrank: Shines in DSL
Rotowire
Defrank logged a 3.19 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB in 31 innings across 10 starts in the Dominican Summer League.
Arguably the top pitching prospect from the DSL this year, the 6-foot-5 Defrank already touches triple digits with his fastball and features an advanced changeup to go with an average slider. Defrank, who signed with the Marlins for $560,000 on Jan. 15 this year, has a chance to rocket up prospect lists next year if he stays healthy and throws enough strikes.
