Dean will start in left field and bat sixth Saturday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Dean was called up Saturday to replace the injured Brian Anderson (finger) and will immediately draw a start. He's struggled in his major-league stints this season, hitting just .209/.216/.337 across 88 plate appearances. On the other hand, he's posted a strong .337/.400/.635 line in the minors this campaign, so there's some potential for power production in his bat.

Dean was officially recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dean is being recalled to take the place of Brian Anderson, who suffered a broken finger in Friday's contest against the Phillies. Dean has spent most of the season with Triple-A New Orleans but does have 88 plate appearances with the big-league club. He's hitting just .209/.216/.337 for the Marlines, though he should get regular playing time in the outfield to close the season.

Dean will be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on Saturday, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move is not yet official, but it sounds like Dean will return to the big-league roster when Brian Anderson (broken finger) is formally placed to the injured list. Anderson is expected to miss the rest of the season, so there will be opportunities in the outfield for Dean, who has struggled in prior stints in the majors but owns a .337/.401/.635 line in 73 games with New Orleans this season.

EDGE Analysis
Dean was sent to the 7-day injured list at the end of July due to a knee injury, but he managed to return to action after the minimum. He's 5-for-17 with a homer since returning from the shelf (four games).

Dean (knee) is on the minor-league injured list, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Dean was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Friday, Craig Mish of FNTSY Sports Radio reports.

Dean went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Dean clubbed a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning, plated a run in the fifth on a single to left and drove home his third run of the ballgame in the seventh on another single. The 25-year-old has struggled to produce at the dish through 22 games this year (.219/.227/.391 slash line), but perhaps Sunday will give him some momentum heading into Miami's next series with the Cardinals.

Dean will start in left field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Padres, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dean will draw his third consecutive start, all of which have come against left-handed pitchers. He still appears to be stuck in the short side of a platoon with Curtis Granderson.

Dean is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being promoted from Triple-A New Orleans on May 21, Dean started and served as the Marlins' leadoff hitter in three of the subsequent four contests. With Garrett Cooper having since solidified himself as a fixture in the corner outfield, Dean now appears to have settled into the short side of a platoon with Curtis Granderson. Dean will find himself on the bench for the third time in four games.

Dean will lead off and start in left field Thursday against the Tigers, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dean will serve as the Marlins' table setter for the second straight game, though it's probably too early to conclude that he'll stick around in an everyday role. Both of his leadoff opportunities have come against left-handed starters, so Dean may only be viewed as a short-side platoon mate for Curtis Granderson at this time.
