Meyer (1-0) got the win over the Cardinals on Sunday after allowing just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday was Meyer's first-career MLB win and quality start as he became the first Marlins starter to complete six innings so far this year. The 25-year-old retired the first 13 batters he faced before Nolan Gorman got to him in the fourth with a solo blast to center. Meyer's been extremely impressive in the early going and has possibly solidified himself a spot in the rotation even once the Marlins return some guys from injury. Meyer now has a 2.45 ERA and 0.73 WHIP over two starts and projects for a tough matchup against Atlanta coming up this week.

Meyer yielded two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings Monday. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision during the loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer gave up one run through three innings before Mike Trout tagged him with a solo shot in the fourth. It was Meyer's first regular-season appearance since July 23, 2022. His fastball averaged 95.1 mph but he forced only seven whiffs on 79 total pitches. Meyer is currently lined up to start in St. Louis this weekend.

The Marlins recalled Meyer from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer will begin the season in Miami's rotation as Eury Perez (elbow), Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) continue to recover from injuries. The young right-hander is slated to make his season debut Monday versus the Angels.

The Marlins informed Meyer on Saturday that he would make the team's Opening Day roster, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Along with winning a roster spot, Meyer is also the favorite to begin the season as the fifth member of Miami's starting rotation. The 25-year-old right-hander fired seven scoreless innings this spring while striking out five batters and walking one. Meyer's time in the majors may be short-lived, however, with Eury Perez (elbow), Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) all potentially returning relatively early in the season.

Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that Meyer could still be a rotation option to open the season for the Marlins, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old's dismissal to minor-league camp Tuesday appeared to be the end of his bid for the rotation, but injuries for Eury Perez (elbow), Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) leave Miami without most of its presumed starting unit. Meyer pitched seven scoreless frames during Grapefruit League action and is the organization's top prospect, but he didn't pitch at all last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

The Marlins optioned Meyer to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander didn't allow a run in seven innings across his three appearances during spring training, but he won't stick with the big club for the duration of camp. Meyer still shouldn't be ruled out for a spot in Miami's Opening Day rotation with both Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) likely headed for the injured list to begin the campaign. Even if Meyer does open the season in the minors, it's likely only a matter of time before the Marlins give him a look in 2024.

Meyer gave up one hit and one walk over three scoreless innings while striking out two in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the game in the fourth inning after Trevor Rogers had delivered three scoreless innings of his own, Meyer tossed 23 of 39 pitches for strikes against a plausible Opening Day lineup for the Mets. With Braxton Garrett and Edward Cabrera both looking at possible IL stints to begin the season due to shoulder issues, the door is open for Meyer to claim a rotation spot, and the 2020 first-round pick has made his case with a 0.00 ERA and 5:1 K:BB through seven spring innings.

Meyer is fully recovered from his elbow injury, but the Marlins won't push him too hard to begin spring training, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

"It's probably more mental than the physical," manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday about a group of pitchers that also includes Trevor Rogers and Anthony Bender. "They are healthy physically and trying to get over that mental hurdle of what if they throw too hard or throw too much [or] it's just gonna happen again. It's more of a mental hurdle than anything." Meyer, the third overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2022 and didn't pitch at all last season after the Marlins elected not to send him to the Arizona Fall League. The 24-year-old right-hander displayed an ace-level arsenal prior to the surgery, and a strong showing in camp could land Meyer in the Opening Day rotation as the team looks to fill the hole left by Sandy Alcantara (elbow).

Meyer (elbow) will begin a bullpen progression this week, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Making his way back from last August's Tommy John surgery, Meyer has thrown on flat ground without incident and is ready to progress to the bump. It's possible he'll be ready for games by the Arizona Fall League, with the hope that he'll be full-go for the 2024 campaign.

Meyer (elbow) could recover in time to pitch in the Arizona Fall League, Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

He underwent Tommy John surgery last August and is unlikely to be a full-go until October. The AFL runs from early-October through mid-November, so it wouldn't be surprising if Meyer isn't quite ready in time, but he should at least be a full participant in spring training early next year.
