Hensley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 14-2 loss against the Cubs.

Hensley took Shota Imanaga deep in the fifth inning for his first homer since May of 2023, and the third of his career. Hensley was playing in his 10th game of the season and making just his fifth start. The 28-year-old had three hits in his previous start Wednesday.

Norby went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Saturday's 14-2 loss to the Cubs.

Norby took Shota Imanaga deep to center field for his third long ball this season and first as a member of the Marlins. Norby has started the Marlins' last five games and picked up a hit in each game, with four going for extra bases. The rookie was acquired from the Orioles, and with Xavier Edwards nursing a back injury, Norby could be seeing plenty of time down the stretch.

Bellozo (2-2) took the loss Saturday against the Cubs. He allowed six runs (five earned) over 4.2 innings with seven hits, four walks and one strikeout.

Bellozo gave up a pair home runs to Seiya Suzuki and another to Pete Crow-Armstrong to match the total from his first six career stats. The rookie right-hander has now given up five or more runs in two starts this season but has kept teams under two runs in his other five starts. The 24-year-old will carry a 3.35 ERA into his next start against the Rockies.

Dave Roberts said Saturday that Glasnow (elbow) played catch from 60 feet and Glasnow's absence will be longer than originally expected, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Glasnow was placed on the injured list Aug. 16 with right elbow tendinitis and was able to resume a throwing program Saturday. While his absence will extend into September, Roberts expressed optimism Glasnow will pitch again during the regular season. Bobby Miller has stepped into Glasnow's spot in the rotation.

Imanaga (10-3) got the victory Saturday in a 14-2 win against the Marlins. He allowed two runs on four hits in six innings, walking two and fanning three batters.

Imanaga was sharp once again Saturday, going at least seven innings for the seventh time this season. The three strikeouts were his fewest in any of those starts of seven-plus innings, however. The 30-year-old rookie has been as steady as they come for the Cubs with a 3.08 ERA and 1.06 across 140.1 innings this season.

Suzuki went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a triple, four RBI and three runs in Saturday's 14-2 win against the Marlins.

Suzuki snapped a streak of 17 games without a home run in style with his first multi-homer effort of the season. Overall, it's his third career multi-homer game, the fourth most by a Japanese-born player. Suzuki had been struggling with just four extra-base hits over that 17-game homeless stretch, so the three Saturday were a welcome sight. Despite missing some time due to injury, the 30-year-old has put together another nice season with an .830 OPS through 103 games.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 14-2 win against the Marlins.

Crow-Armstrong hit one of four Cubs long balls, and for the first time in his career he has homered in consecutive games. The speedy center fielder showed off his athleticism Friday when he raced around the bases in 14.1 seconds for an inside-the-park homer and showed off the power Saturday, hitting it to the upper deck. He's been hot as of late, and with this home run, he has four of his seven homers this season in his last 11 games. Crow-Armstrong has started 26 straight games for the Cubs and could be somebody to keep an eye on down the stretch.

The Phillies will call up Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Sunday's game against the Royals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Allard will draw the starting nod Sunday to give the Phillies' starters an extra day of rest. The 26-year-old has appeared in three games for Philadelphia this season, logging a 3.46 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with eight strikeouts across 13 innings. He'll likely return to Lehigh Valley after the game.

Imaging on Edwards' lower back came back negative Saturday, and he's considered day-to-day, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Edwards was removed from Friday's game against the Cubs due to a lower-back injury he sustained while attempting to steal a base. Considering Saturday's testing didn't reveal any significant injury, Edwards shouldn't miss more than a few games -- if he misses time at all. The Marlins close out a home series against the Cubs on Sunday before heading out on a seven-game road trip.

A CT scan on Blackburn's right hand came back negative Saturday, and he hopes to avoid the injured list and possibly make his next start, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Blackburn was hit in the hand by a comebacker Friday and Saturday's testing confirmed he's dealing with nothing more than a bruise. The right-hander is hopeful to not only avoid the injured list, but to be healthy enough to make his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
