News
Marlins closer Heath Bell once again struggled during Friday night's contest against the Giants. Bell was called upon in the ninth inning with a three-run lead, but immediately ran into trouble. He surrendered a hit to three of the first four batters he faced, including a RBI single to Brandon Belt. Manager Ozzie Guillen pulled Bell after he gave up a one-out double to Gregor Blanco and he was charged with two runs over just one-third of an inning. However, Steve Chisek came on and was able to retire the next two batters, earning Bell a hold. "I had a gut feeling he's not throwing well," Guillen said. "He gets paid to close games, I get paid to win games. It's a very hard, uncomfortable move. Your closer is your closer, but from the beginning I didn't feel comfortable with it. I needed a different look. But he's going to be back there as my closer tomorrow."

News
It took him three tries, but on Tuesday against the Rockies, Marlins starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco earned the 69th victory of his career, breaking Dontrelle Willis’ franchise mark. In the early going, it did not look like Nolasco was going to even be in line for a win, as he struggled mightily through the first inning of the game, allowing three early runs on four hits and walk. He would settle down from there, allowing just one more run, finishing with four runs allowed total on eight hits and a walk in six innings. The offense bailed him out early enough that he was able to pick up the franchise-record win, 7-6, improving his record on the season to 5-2. He struck out a season-high six batters in the game.

News
Marlins starter Josh Johnson did not factor into the decision during Friday night's contest against the Giants. Johnson, who was making his 10th start of the year, allowed three runs on nine hits over five innings in the 7-6 defeat, including a solo home run to Melky Cabrera. He also surrendered a run in the first and second innings and was pulled after throwing 90 pitches. Johnson finished with three strikeouts and one walk, while earning the no-decision.

Despite Brett Hayes starting a second straight game Thursday against the Giants, Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen still backed John Buck as the team's starting catcher. “I’m not going to take away the job from Buck. We all now Buck is struggling right now but the way Hayes is swinging the bat right now I will use him,” Guillen said, per The Palm Beach Post.

News
Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton was moved back into the cleanup spot for Friday night's contest against the Giants. Stanton batted in the four-hole during the first nine games of the season, but hit just .237 with no home runs and four RBI during his time there. “He’s swinging at strikes. I think this kid has started learning how to be patient, looking for the right pitch and don’t panic,” manager Ozzie Guillen told MLB.com. “Early in the season I think he was trying to do too much. It wasn’t just him, I think everybody was.”

The Marlins recalled outfielder Kevin Mattison from Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday. He takes the roster spot of outfielder Austin Kearns (hamstring), who was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

News
Marlins starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano was roughed up for the first time this season on Wednesday against the Rockies, as he was tagged for seven runs in five innings in an 8-4 loss. Zambrano allowed five hits and three walks in the game, with all but one of his baserunners crossing the plate, while striking out just three batters. He allowed his fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot to Troy Tulowitzki in the fifth inning with two outs that broke the game open. It was just the second time in nine starts this season that Zambrano has not given the Marlins a quality start, dropping his record to 2-3 on the season.

News
Miami shortstop Emilio Bonifacio had successful surgery Friday to repair ligament damage in his left thumb, according to MLB.com. Bonifacio, whose arm was in a sling following the procedure, is expected to be sidelined an additional four to six weeks. The Marlins will continue to provide additional starts in center field to Chris Coghlan and Bryan Peterson during Bonifacio's absence. "Boni should be fine in four weeks," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Very good news. Hopefully it will happen. With surgery or without the surgery, it was going to be the same time."

News
Manager Ozzie Guillen dropped outfielder Logan Morrison down to fifth in the lineup for Friday night's contest against the Giants. Morrison entered the contest hitting just .228 with two home runs and 11 RBI on the year. “That’s very surprising and weird and confusing to see this guy struggling the way he is right now,” manager Ozzie Guillen told MLB.com. “I think he is a way better hitter than what he has showed. His ability as a hitter is better than what we are seeing.”

News
Marlins starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez was riding a streak of eight quality starts in a row to begin the season heading into Thursday’s game against the Giants, however he came apart in the sixth inning, allowing four runs to score as his streak came to an end and he earned his third loss in a row. Sanchez recorded just one out in that sixth inning, finishing the game with five earned runs allowed in 5 1/3 innings, ending a streak of 16 starts in a row going back to last season in which he had allowed three runs or less. He allowed seven hits and two walks in the game, while striking out seven. He also had two wild pitches in the sixth inning, as his record fell to 2-3 on the season in the 14-7 Marlins loss.
