Dean will start in left field and bat fifth Sunday against the Nationals, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being called up from Triple-A New Orleans on Wednesday, Dean has started in each of the Marlins' three games, going 1-for-11 with a solo home run. Despite the slow start to his MLB career, Dean will likely be receive an extended look in a full-time role over the final few weeks of the season after emerging as one of the Marlins' top outfield prospects earlier in 2018.

Dean went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Dean made his major-league debut Wednesday, but he failed to record his first big-league base knock until he homered Friday night. With the Marlins out of playoff contention, look for Dean to get a fair amount of at-bats over the last month and a half of the 2018 campaign.

Dean's contract was selected from Triple-A New Orleans as expected Wednesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dean has hit an excellent .345/.410/.511 in 109 games with Double-A Jacksonville and Triple-A New Orleans this season. The Marlins will likely look to give the 24-year-old a significant amount of at-bats down the stretch, which could push Brian Anderson back to third base. Dean will head straight to the starting lineup for his MLB debut Wednesday against the Braves, batting sixth and playing left field, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports.

The Marlins plan to select Dean's contract from Triple-A New Orleans prior to their game Wednesday against the Braves, Craig Mish of Sirius XM reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been quite the ascent for the 24-year-old Dean, who was largely off the prospect radar before posting eye-popping numbers at Double-A Jacksonville in April and earning a promotion to Triple-A. His production hasn't slowed much since he moved to the Pacific Coast League, with Dean having supplied a .326/.397/.475 line to go with nine home runs across 358 plate appearances. Dean will become the 21st rookie to debut this season for the Marlins and could garner a look as the club's everyday left or right fielder during the final month and a half of the campaign. Expect the Marlins to make Dean's promotion official a few hours prior to Wednesday's 7:35 p.m. EDT start time and announce a corresponding roster move.

Dean, who was promoted to Triple-A New Orleans on April 29, is slashing .323/.447/.387 over his first nine games with the affiliate.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old outfielder earned a quick promotion to New Orleans after hitting .420/.466/.654 with three home runs in 22 games for Double-A Jacksonville to take home Southern League player of the month honors in April. Dean has seen his power production tail off during the move to the Pacific Coast League, but he's continued to display stellar plate discipline. He has generated more walks (seven) than strikeouts (four) through 38 plate appearances with New Orleans.

Dean went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four RBI for Double-A Jacksonville in the club's 11-5 victory over Tennessee on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The three-hit performance raised Dean's average to a minors-leading .536 over 62 plate appearances this season. A .536 BABIP has certainly inflated the average, but Dean has created some of his own good fortune by showing improved pop and reducing his strikeout rate from 18.3 percent last season with Jacksonville all the way to 9.7 percent in 2018. A fourth-round draft pick in 2012, the 24-year-old Dean has had a slow climb through the minors and isn't viewed as a prized prospect within the organization, but he could gain a little more buzz if he's able to maintain even a modicum of the tremendous skills growth he has demonstrated through his first 16 games.

Dean, 23, is hitting .273/.333/.455 with one home run and eight strikeouts in 33 at-bats with Double-A Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

He missed almost the first three months of the season with an undisclosed ailment, but is back and performing well in the Southern League. Dean played 130 games at Double-A last year, so if he continues to hit, he could see a promotion to Triple-A later this summer.
