Meyer (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against Cincinnati, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough night for Meyer, who allowed runs in both the second and third innings before the Reds put up a four spot in the fourth. After allowing just four earned runs in his first three starts (17 innings) in April, Meyer has struggled to a 9.00 ERA in three outings since rejoining the Marlins rotation in late July. Overall, the 25-year-old southpaw sports a 5.10 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 30 innings in the majors this season. Meyer will look to get on track in his next start, currently lined up for this weekend at home versus the Padres.

Meyer (2-1) allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

All four runs Meyer allowed came via the long ball, as Austin Riley and Orlando Arcia each hit a solo shot against him and Matt Olson contributed a two-run blast. While he did flash some swing-and-miss stuff with 13 whiffs and seven punchouts, the young right-hander was unable to avoid his first loss of the campaign. Meyer has struggled since returning to Miami's rotation July 27, allowing seven runs and serving up four homers over nine innings across two starts.

Meyer won't have any restrictions on his workload for the rest of the season, either in terms of innings pitches or pitches per start, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old right-hander made three big-league starts in April before being sent back down to Triple-A Jacksonville to make sure wasn't overworked as he made his return from Tommy John surgery in August 2022. Meyer threw only 58 innings over three months for Jacksonville, and the erratic schedule may have played into his 4.34 ERA and 1.48 WHIP at Triple-A. Now that he's back in the majors though, the Marlins will keep him on a regular schedule and won't hold him back. After throwing 85 pitches over four innings in his return Saturday, Meyer lines up to take his next turn through the rotation this weekend in Atlanta.

Meyer allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer pitched very well in his initial stint in the majors this season, collecting two wins and posting a 2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 17 innings over three starts back in April. The right-hander's return to Miami's rotation Saturday was thus big news in fantasy, but the 25-year-old endured his worst big-league start of the campaign and failed to complete five innings for the first time. Meyer should nonetheless stick in the Marlins' injury-depleted rotation, and he's tentatively slated to make his next start in Atlanta.

The Marlins recalled Meyer from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Saturday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Meyer will make his fourth start of the 2024 season Saturday, and his first since April. While the Marlins have been keeping an eye on the 25-year-old's workload, there haven't been any confirmed restrictions placed on Meyer for Saturday's appearance. He's generated a 2.12 ERA in 17 innings with Miami this season.

Meyer will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Saturday in Milwaukee, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It had been reported previously that Meyer was rejoining the Marlins' rotation this weekend and now we have a confirmed date. The young right-hander has spent more than three months at Jacksonville even as the Marlins' rotation need became dire, but he will finally be unleashed again. Meyer was initially limited to 3-to-4 innings at a time after being sent down, but he was starting to get stretched out more in his last few starts with Jacksonville. De Nicola notes that while Miami will still be mindful of Meyer's workload down the stretch, there don't appear to be plans for a hard cap on his innings.

The Marlins will recall Meyer from Triple-A Jacksonville to rejoin their rotation this weekend in Milwaukee, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer last pitched with Jacksonville on July 20 and the Marlins have an opening in their rotation Saturday, so he'll be on plenty of rest for the start. The young right-hander was sent down back in April as a means to manage his workload, and he's pitched well of late, allowing just two runs with a 23:6 K:BB over 19 innings covering his last four Triple-A starts. Meyer has averaged 77.5 pitches in those outings, with a high of 86, and the Marlins will continue to keep a close eye on his workload down the stretch. Even with likely restrictions, Meyer is worthy of being scooped back up in fantasy leagues where he's available. He posted a 2.12 ERA and 14:3 K:BB over 17 frames in three starts for the Marlins earlier this season.

Meyer started and covered 3.1 innings for Triple-A Jacksonville in Saturday's 3-2 win over Durham, striking out seven while allowing one earned run on six hits and one walk.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins will need a fifth starter for the first time in the second half Tuesday versus the Orioles, but Meyer's appearance for the Triple-A club over the weekend takes him out of the mix for a call-up. Meyer could still be promoted to the big leagues at some point in the near future, but the Marlins have thus far been reluctant to tip their hand regarding when exactly their top pitching prospect might return to the majors. The right-hander broke camp with the big club and turned in a 2.12 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in 17 innings over his first three starts, but he was demoted to Triple-A on April 15 and has remained there ever since. He posted underwhelming numbers in his first two months at Jacksonville while sticking to a strict once-a-week pitching schedule, but he's settled in nicely since the beginning of July, logging a 0.95 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 19 innings.

If the Marlins wait until at least July 21 to recall Meyer to the big leagues, they will gain an extra year of control, notes Ely Sussman of Fish on First.

EDGE Analysis

It's a bit unsavory, especially given the caliber of pitchers the Marlins were willing to use in the big-league rotation while Meyer was at Triple-A for the past three months. After throwing five-plus innings in three big-league starts to begin the season, Meyer had been capped at four innings or less in his first 10 starts for Triple-A Jacksonville. He threw a minor-league season-high six innings for the Jumbo Shrimp on July 9 and logged five scoreless frames July 14, so he is fully stretched out. Given the incentives in place, it's quite possible Meyer rejoins the big-league rotation for good next week.

Meyer will make another start at Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, but Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said he expects the young right-hander to be back in the majors "soon," Nate Karzmer of Fish on First reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schumaker made the statement earlier this week during an interview on the Fish Unfiltered podcast. The Marlins have an opening in their rotation Saturday against the Guardians, but that's expected to go to Roddery Munoz while Meyer makes his scheduled start Friday with Jacksonville. The 22-year-old Meyer struggled initially upon his workload-related demotion to Jacksonville back in April, but he's been better of late with a 17:4 K:BB in 11 innings covering his last three starts. Meyer hasn't gone more than four innings in any outing since the demotion as the Marlins rein in his workload in his first year back from Tommy John surgery. His starts could continue to be abbreviated when he rejoins the big club, but it does sound like Meyer will be back in the majors sooner rather than later.
