Dyson pitched a relatively clean inning in Wednesday's loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Dyson allowed just a walk while retiring five batters for his first hold of the season but found the plate with just five of his 12 pitches. The implosion by Shawn Tolleson, allowing five runs in the ninth without retiring a batter, merits some attention given Dyson's success as Tolleson's replacement as the closer in Texas' brief postseason run last season.

Dyson pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his third win of the season Sunday as Miami beat Colorado in 10 innings. The 27-year-old has been strong in relief for the Marlins this season, with a 2.83 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 28.2 innings pitched, but carries little fantasy value at the present time as he is locked into a setup role for the club.

Dyson pitched a perfect frame during the Marlins' 13-inning victory over the Orioles on Saturday. While much of the Marlins' bullpen has struggle this seasons, Dyson has been a consistent contributor in middle relief posting a 2.31 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB ratio in 23.1 inning pitched. If he's able to maintain this elevated strikeout rate and consistent control, Dyson has a chance to work his way into a more prominent role over the summer.

Dyson is likely to fill the Marlins' final bullpen spot, MLB.com reports. Dyson has not been particularly sharp during the exhibition season, allowing eight earned runs over 8.2 Grapefruit League innings, but he has also posted a strong 11:2 K:BB ratio over those frames and with Aaron Crow (elbow) likely to land on the disabled list, Dyson's name has inched it's way up the depth chart. The right-hander was a key cog in Miami's bullpen last season, compiling a 2.14 ERA over 42 inning pitched, but is a long shot to find his way into many high-leverage situations.

Dyson took the loss in Saturday's extra-innings setback against the Rockies, allowing a run on two hits and two walks. Dyson survived a clean 12th inning before yielding a lead-off double and an RBI single in the bottom of the 13th. Despite allowing runs in each of his past two appearances, Dyson holds an impressive 2.00 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB in 27 inning pitched for the Marlins this season.

Dyson allowed two runs (zero earned) over three innings of work in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Marlins recalled RHP Sam Dyson from Triple-A New Orleans. The 26-year-old has been pitching well for New Orleans, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 20/10 K/BB ratio over 25 1/3 innings. He will function in middle relief.

Marlins optioned RHP Sam Dyson to Triple-A New Orleans. It's his reward for going 1 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up his first major league win Tuesday. Dyson should get another shot later this season.

Marlins recalled RHP Sam Dyson from Triple-A New Orleans. Dyson has put up a 2.66 ERA in 10 relief appearances for New Orleans this season. He'll likely only be up for a couple days while Nathan Eovaldi is on paternity leave.

Making his first major league start, Sam Dyson was torched for seven runs in 2 2/3 innings by the Phillies on Monday. Dyson, a 2009 10th-round pick, had previously made two relief appearances for the Blue Jays last year and three for the Marlins over the past few weeks. If he has a future in the majors, it will probably be in the pen.
