Meyer (elbow) made a rehab start Friday for Single-A Jupiter, striking out four over three innings while allowing one earned run on one hit.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer had been sidelined for a month due to ulnar nerve irritation in his right elbow before he made a success return to game action for Jupiter. The Marlins could have Meyer make one more rehab start at Jupiter or with Double-A Pensacola before he's activated from Triple-A Jacksonville's 7-day injured list.

Meyer (elbow) threw a simulated game Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It had been nearly a month since Meyer faced hitters, but he did just that Saturday. It's not entirely clear how close he is to pitching in a game, but his fastball sat in the 94-95 mph range during Saturday's session, so it should not be long at this point.

Meyer (elbow) is scheduled to throw off flat ground Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old landed on the injured list last week with ulnar nerve irritation in his right elbow, but he'll return to throwing Thursday after being shut down for a week. Meyer will likely need some time to build his arm back up, but he could return to mound work soon since the shutdown was relatively brief.

Meyer was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday with ulnar nerve irritation, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer appears to be closing in on his major-league debut before two poor outings in the last week, but he won't get that opportunity in the immediate future. While any arm issue is potentially quite worrisome for a pitcher, the Marlins don't appear to be too concerned at this stage. The injury isn't thought to be particularly serious, as he'll skip just one start before being re-evaluated.

Meyer could be promoted to join the big-league rotation in the near future, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Marlins have had some internal discussions about using their top pitching prospect in the big-league bullpen, where his fastball-slider combination could be dominant, Meyer's success at Triple-A this season -- as well as the struggles of Elieser Hernandez in the Miami rotation -- make it more likely he will debut as a starter. The 23-year-old right-hander has a 1.71 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB through 26.1 innings over five starts for Triple-A Jacksonville, while Hernandez has stumbled to a 6.66 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through five starts for the Marlins, including a poor outing against Arizona on Wednesday. While no switch appears imminent, further struggles from Hernandez could accelerate the timeline for Meyer to make his Miami debut.

Meyer gave up one run on six hits and one walk over 6.2 innings Saturday for Triple-A Jacksonville in a win over Charlotte. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

It was the longest outing of Meyer's minor-league career to date, and it continued a run of dominance to begin the season that has seen the right-hander deliver a 1.71 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB through 26.1 innings over five starts. The Marlins' No. 2 fantasy prospect doesn't seem to have much left to prove in the minors, but he's not yet on the 40-man roster and the organization is going to be keeping a careful eye on his workload. Still, it's likely only a matter of time before the 23-year-old makes his big-league debut.

Meyer tossed 5.2 scoreless innings against Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins' top pitching prospect left his prior start with a minor calf issue, but it didn't end up costing him a turn in the Jacksonville rotation. Meyer has been brilliant through his first three starts this season, posting a 1.23 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB in 14.2 innings, and the biggest obstacle standing in the way of his big-league debut later this season might be the fact that the 23-year-old isn't yet on the 40-man roster.

Meyer exited his start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday with a calf cramps, freelance reporter David Fernandez reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer was dealing against Durham prior to suffering the injury, as he delivered five perfect frames to go along with eight strikeouts. The 23-year-old is Miami's top pitching prospect and shouldn't miss much time, if any, given the nature of the injury.

Meyer was reassigned to the Marlins' minor-league spring training Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer received a late-season promotion to Jacksonville last year but spent most of the campaign at Double-A Pensacola, where he posted a 2.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 113:40 K:BB over 101 innings. It was the first professional season for the 2020 third-overall pick, and the 23-year-old could see the majors later this year if he continues that level of production at the Triple-A level.

Meyer struck out out five Mets over four perfect innings during Monday's Grapefruit League game.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the game in the third inning in relief of Elieser Hernandez, Meyer carved up a New York lineup that included Dominic Smith and J.D. Davis, using his plus slider to get all five of his punchouts while sitting 95-97 mph with his fastball. The 23-year-old right-hander is the Marlins' top pitching prospect after being selected in the first round of the 2020 Draft, rising to Triple-A Jacksonville at the end of last season and posting a 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB in 10 innings over two starts. Miami won't rush him, but if Meyer dominates Triple-A again to begin the 2022 campaign, he could force his way into the big-league rotation this summer despite the fact he isn't yet on the 40-man roster.
