I'm Christina DiNicola here at Truce Park in Atlanta with
the latest Miami Marlins beat report. Congratulations are in
order for second baseman Luis Aes and designated hitter Jorge
Soler who will represent the Marlins at the All Star
game on July 11. Th in Seattle A became
the seventh player in franchise history to secure a spot
via fan election and the second straight Miami second baseman
to do so despite a tough trip where his average
dipped to 389. The two time all star Arias
is still on pace to have one of the largest
leads at the all star break in average. So
who was named a reserve is tied for third in
the NL with 22 homers the most by a Marlins
since 2017. The first time all star has bounced
back after a rough first season in Miami. Somewhat
of a surprise is the clip's pitching being shut out
from the initial roster, but that could change as
the game gets closer and players opt out after sweeping
the Red Sox at Fenway Park to move 14 games
over 500 for the first time since 2003. The
Marlins came in hot to face the, just as
hot Braves in what could be seen as a litmus
test. Miami was swept in convincing fashion and has
dropped nine of 10 in the season series. The
club has been swept just twice this season both by
Atlanta. The Marlins return home looking to bounce back
against the Cardinals and Phillies to close out the first
half. ST Louis has been one of the more
disappointing teams in 2023. Philadelphia is chasing Miami in
the playoff picture. The only time these two teams
met in April, the Phillies took 2 to 3
are some of the Marlins top pitching prospects faring Pensacola
lefty Patrick Monte was named to the series XM all
star futures game. His 193 is nearly a full
run lower than the next qualifying pitcher in the Southern
league riding Max Meyer who is recovering from Tommy John
surgery is supposed to begin a bullpen progression this week
. South Paul Jake Eater ruck out 7/5 frames and
his second start back at Pensacola in his return from
TJ surgery. And 19 year old writer Carson Milbrandt
received a promotion from single A Jupiter to where he
was scheduled to make his debut on Sunday night.
Miami selected him in the third round last July.
Speaking of, here's a reminder that this year's draft
will begin on Sunday with the Marlins picking 10th overall
. That'll do it for the latest Miami Marlins be
report. I'm Christina DiNicola reminding you to check out
