Marlins' Max Meyer: Might be up next week

The Marlins could wait until at least Sunday to recall Meyer from Triple-A Jacksonville, as they would gain an extra year of club control by doing so, Ely Sussman of FishonFirst.com reports.

After throwing five-plus innings in three big-league starts to begin the season, Meyer was optioned to Jacksonville on April 15 and had been capped at four innings or less in his first 10 starts for the affiliate. He threw a minor-league season-high six innings for Jacksonville on July 9, then logged five scoreless frames July 14, so he looks to be fully stretched out at this point. Given the incentives in place, it's quite possible Meyer rejoins the big-league rotation for good next week.
