• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Sidelined with oblique strain

  Rotowire Mar 25, 2026

  The Marlins placed Acosta (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Acosta will be shelved for at least the first couple weeks of the season with a left oblique strain. He could be assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville rather than the major-league club once he's healthy and completes a rehab assignment.

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Will miss time with oblique strain

  Rotowire Mar 15, 2026

  The Marlins announced Sunday that Acosta has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left oblique strain and is expected to be out for 3-4 weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Acosta already looked to be facing an uphill battle to make the Opening Day roster, and the injury he suffered last week will bring an end to any chance he had. Once he heals up and resumes full baseball activities, the 23-year-old infielder will report to a minor-league affiliate for a rehab assignment. Acosta has two minor-league options remaining, so he could end up sticking around at Triple-A Jacksonville once he completes the rehab assignment and gets activated from the injured list.

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Sidelined with oblique discomfort

  Rotowire Mar 11, 2026

  The Marlins scratched Acosta from the lineup for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros due to left oblique discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Acosta will likely be put through further testing as the Marlins look to determine the severity of his oblique issue, but even a mild strain at this point in spring training could be enough to remove the young infielder from contention for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old reached the majors for the first time in 2025, slashing .204/.295/.389 with three home runs and one stolen base across 61 plate appearances with Miami.

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Demoted to Triple-A

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  The Marlins optioned Acosta to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Acosta hit .233 with one double, two RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in 10 games during his latest stint in the big leagues.

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Coming back in majors

  Rotowire Sep 5, 2025

  The Marlins will recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville before Friday's contest against the Phillies, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports. Acosta will take the roster spot vacated by the injured Connor Norby (undisclosed) and could see ample playing time at third base, at least until Graham Pauley (oblique) returns. The 22-year-old Acosta went went just 4-for-24 during his nine games with the big club, though three of those hits left the ballpark. Acosta has slashed .229/.315/.377 with 13 homers and 31 steals this season with Jacksonville.

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Pops game-winning homer

  Rotowire Aug 26, 2025

  Acosta went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win over Atlanta. Getting the start at third base and batting ninth, the rookie infielder homered off Pierce Johnson in the eighth inning for what proved to be the game-winning run. Acosta has just three hits in his first 18 big-league at-bats, but all three have left the yard for solo shots. The 22-year-old seems likely to lose his spot on the roster once Connor Norby (wrist) is cleared to come off the IL, although the Marlins could delay that move until Sept. 1 in order to keep Acosta in the majors and take a longer look at him, as the team shifts its focus from a long-shot wild-card bid to 2026.

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Back on bench in Lopez's return

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2025

  Acosta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. After getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Acosta proceeded to start five consecutive games across three different spots in the infield while going 2-for-15 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk. Acosta projects to fill a utility role now that starting shortstop Otto Lopez (illness) has been cleared to rejoin the lineup Sunday after sitting out the previous three contests.

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Receives first MLB call-up

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2025

  The Marlins recalled Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. He'll start at second base and bat eighth in the Marlins' series opener versus the Cardinals. Acosta will join the Marlins' 26-man active roster as a replacement for third baseman Graham Pauley (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though Pauley's absence creates an opening at the hot corner, Acosta won't necessarily be in the mix for steady playing time with Miami, as he's been used exclusively at the middle-infield positions throughout his minor-league career. Acosta batted just .236 with a 10.6 percent walk rate and 26.5 percent strikeout rate over 431 plate appearances for Jacksonville this season, but he showcased a fantasy-friendly skill set with 13 home runs and 28 steals (in 35 attempts).

• Marlins' Maximo Acosta: Set to join major-league roster

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2025

  The Marlins are expected to recall Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. The infielder will get his first look in the big leagues after batting .232 with 12 home runs and 28 stolen bases over 106 games for Jacksonville. The Marlins haven't announced who will be moved off the 26-man active roster in a corresponding move, but Graham Pauley could be headed to the 10-day injured list after experiencing side discomfort during Sunday's win over the Red Sox. Acosta has played exclusively second base and shortstop in the minors this season, so he would likely be in line for a depth role rather than being a candidate to potentially replace Pauley as the Marlins' primary third baseman.

• Marlins' Max Acosta: Bumped to Triple-A

  Rotowire Mar 8, 2025

  The Marlins optioned Acosta to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. Acosta's option to Triple-A will act as a promotion of sorts, as he spent all of last season in Double-A as part of the Rangers organization. The 22-year-old went 3-for-11 with a home run in his first spring with the Marlins, and a lack of depth in the big-league infield keeps the door open for Acosta to debut in 2025.

• Marlins' Max Acosta: Sent to Miami

  Rotowire Dec 11, 2024

  The Rangers traded Acosta to the Marlins on Tuesday alongside Echedry Vargas and Brayan Mendoza in exchange for Jake Burger, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. In 104 games with Double-A Frisco last season, Acosta slashed .286/.351/.423 with 56 RBI and swiped 26 bags. He was selected to the Rangers' 40-man roster in November to protect him from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft, which means he will now have a spot on Miami's 40-man roster. While the 22-year-old is unlikely to crack the big-league squad out of spring training, a promotion to Triple-A Jacksonville could come in the near future.

• Rangers' Maximo Acosta: Undergoes thoracic outlet surgery

  Rotowire Aug 28, 2021

  Acosta recently underwent surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome and will miss the rest of the season, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports. Acosta received his first taste of professional ball with the rookie-level ACL Rangers this year, but his campaign was cut short due to the injury. He hit .246/.279/.393 with one homer, five RBI, 11 runs and seven stolen bases in 17 games. The 18-year-old will have over five months to recover before the start of spring training.
