The Miami Marlins have been one of the most impressive teams in baseball this year.
Not many people thought he had the personnel to compete in the NL East.
However, they rank second in one of the toughest divisions in MLB.
The Marlins are 45-34 on the year and 6.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves.
It’s pretty impressive what they’ve done when you consider that some of their key players are on the disabled list.
Two players who have been missing a lot of time are Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jean Segura.
According to Marlins Communications, Chisholm and Segura have been reinstated from the IL.
The Marlins today made the following roster moves:
– Option INF/OF Garrett Hampson & INF Jacob Amaya to AAA Jacksonville
– Reinstated CF Jazz Chisholm Jr. and 3B Jean Safe from IL
– Claimed RHP Eli Villalobos off Pittsburgh waivers and assigned him to AA Pensacola— Marlins Communications (@MarlinsComms) June 26, 2023
These two players should be able to fit into what has been an impressive Marlins lineup this season.
One of the main reasons for the Marlins’ success has been Luis Arraez’s bat.
He has been the best hitter in the league this year as he continues to chase a monumental record.
Arraez is looking to become the first player since Ted Williams (1941) to hit .400 in a season.
The Marlins obtained Arraez in a trade before the season from the Minnesota Twins.
He has stabilized his lineup and consistently gets on base.
The Marlins also have a plethora of young starters who have been dominant.
This roster is surprisingly good and should continue to play well all year.
It will be interesting to see what the Marlins do around the trade deadline.
If they’re serious about competing for a championship, making a big trade could take them to the top.
