The Marlins recalled Mesa from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old will join the Marlins for the second time this season, taking the roster spot of Dane Myers (oblique), who was placed on the injured list. Mesa appeared in just four games during his first MLB stint in May, going 1-for-7 with two walks in four games. He could receive consistent playing time down the stretch with Miami likely looking to evaluate talent heading into 2026.

The Marlins optioned Mesa to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
In four games after earning his first MLB call-up, Mesa went 1-for-7 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored. With Xavier Edwards (back) now back from the injured list, Mesa will end up as the roster casualty necessary to create room on the 26-man. However, he could certainly end up back in Miami before the end of the season if his excellent play at Triple-A (1.025 OPS) continues.

Mesa went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Making his first career start in the majors, Mesa battled Stephen Kolek to a full count in his first plate appearance before pulling an RBI single into right field in the first inning. The 23-year-old switch hitter got the start in center field and hit eighth for the Marlins in his debut, and with Derek Hill (wrist) and Dane Myers (oblique) both on the injured list at least into early June, Mesa could see regular playing time in the short term before he'll be in danger of getting returned to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Mesa is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Padres on Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mesa was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and made his major-league debut as a pinch hitter Monday, though he struck out in both of his plate appearances. He'll look to get better results Tuesday as he makes the first start of his major-league career against Padres right-hander Stephen Kolek.

Mesa was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Mesa is ready for his big-league debut after being slowed by a right hamstring strain earlier this season. The 23-year-old will take the roster spot of Derek Hill (wrist), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Mesa will presumably see opportunities in center field with both Hill and Dane Myers (oblique) on the injured list, though he's also made four starts in left field at Triple-A Jacksonville this year.

Mesa (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter on Saturday, Fish on the Farm reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mesa has been slowed by a right hamstring strain that he suffered at the beginning of spring training but has finally been cleared to test things out in games. The 23-year-old outfielder slashed .259/.319/.430 with 13 home runs at Triple-A Jacksonville last season and will likely be assigned there once he's done rehabbing.

The Marlins optioned Mesa (hamstring) to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
They also reassigned Justin King (adductor), Woo-Suk Go (finger), Freddy Tarnok (ankle), Ryan Ignoffo and Jakob Marsee (oblique) to minor-league camp. All but Ignoffo are currently injured and there are fewer reps to go around in Marlins camp. Mesa is dealing with a right hamstring strain and is expected to be sidelined for at least another week or two.

Mesa was diagnosed with a mild right hamstring strain Sunday and is expected to be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old reported tightness in the hamstring Saturday and will now be unavailable for at least the next few weeks. Mesa's injury will make it difficult for him to earn a spot on Miami's Opening Day roster, which is especially notable since he's out of minor-league options.

Mesa reported tightness in his right hamstring Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Mesa's injury is currently unknown, but the Marlins will give him a couple of days to rest before re-evaluating him. The 23-year-old outfielder reached Triple-A for the first time last season, slashing .259/.319/.430 with 13 home runs, 51 RBI and five stolen bases across 355 plate appearances at that level, but he has an outside chance to break camp with the big-league squad.

Mesa is out of minor-league options and will get a chance to win a spot on the 26-man roster this spring, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Signed out of Cuba as a 17-year-old back in 2018, Mesa didn't show signs of emerging as a viable big-leaguer until 2023 at Double-A Pensacola, and he built on that performance last year with Triple-A Jacksonville, slashing .259/.319/.430 with 13 home runs in 80 games. More importantly, he continued to display palatable plate discipline, posting a 21.7 percent mark for Jacksonville against a 7.9 percent walk rate. While the Marlins' current front office doesn't have anything invested in Mesa as a prospect, he has the potential to be the team's best current option in center field ahead of the likes of Dane Myers and Derek Hill, who both profile better as fourth outfielders and bench players. If Mesa can flash his upside this spring, Miami would have little to lose by giving him a long look.
