Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski: Racks up nine K's during loss
Rotowire
Misiorowski (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Marlins, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out nine over five innings.
Misiorowski's outing unraveled early, as he walked the leadoff batter, allowed a single and saw an error load the bases before a wild pitch brought home Miami's first run. The 24-year-old then hit Kyle Stowers to reload the bases, and the Marlins added two more runs on a double play and an RBI single from Liam Hicks. That first inning accounted for all the damage, however, as Misiorowski settled in and dominated the rest of the way, including striking out the side in the second. The right-hander generated an impressive 18 whiffs on 97 pitches and took the MLB lead in strikeouts with 42 total across 26.2 innings. Despite the loss, Misiorowski has been solid to begin the season, posting a 3.04 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. He's scheduled to face Pittsburgh in his next start.

Marlins' Eury Perez: Strikes out seven over six innings
Rotowire
Perez (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Brewers, allowing one unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.
Perez turned in a strong performance, cruising through five scoreless innings, including striking out the side in the second, before running into minor trouble in the sixth. After issuing a leadoff walk to David Hamilton, a throwing error by catcher Liam Hicks allowed the latter to reach third, and he later scored on a groundout. The outing was a much-needed correction after Perez allowed 15 runs over his first 20 innings of the season. The right-hander now owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 27:12 K:BB across 26 innings, and he will look to build on this performance in his next scheduled start against a Giants lineup that has struggled offensively this year.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Swats fourth homer
Rotowire
Hicks went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta.
The 26-year-old backstop had gone 12 straight games without leaving the yard after a power surge in the first week of the season, but Hicks got hold of an Osvaldo Bido slider in the eighth inning Wednesday and ripped it down the right-field line for his fourth homer of the year. Hicks has been playing nearly every day between catcher (10 games), first base (six games) and DH (three games), slashing .309/.355/.545 with a stunning 18 RBI, two behind MLB leader Andy Pages.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Tallies three RBI in win
Rotowire
Hicks went 3-for-4 with three RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 10-4 win over Atlanta.
Hicks was a run-producing force, driving in three runs as part of a three-hit performance. After posting just a .412 OPS over his previous 10 appearances, the catcher looked more like his early-season self Monday, when he recorded a 1.660 OPS through Miami's first five contests. Through 16 games, the 26-year-old is hitting .319/.370/.532 with three homers, a double, 10 runs and 16 RBI.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Taking seat against Skubal
Rotowire
Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Hicks had started the Marlins' last four games, but he'll take a seat against Tarik Skubal. He'll be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Graham Pauley and Owen Caissie.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Idle against southpaw
Rotowire
Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
Hicks has gotten off to a sizzling start to the season with a 1.164 OPS over 29 plate appearances, but the Marlins will shield the left-handed batter from southpaw Brandon Williamson in Monday's series opener. At least until the Marlins return the likes of Christopher Morel (oblique) and Kyle Stowers (hamstring) from the injured list, Hicks should have a clear path to regular at-bats versus right-handed pitching while making starts at catcher, first base or designated hitter.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Goes yard Wednesday
Rotowire
Hicks went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.
Hicks is enjoying an excellent start to the season, hitting safely in four of his first five games while already leaving the yard on three occasions. With three homers, 12 RBI and eight runs scored in 19 plate appearances through five games, Hicks should cool down sooner rather than later. However, it wouldn't be a stretch to call him one of the hottest bats in the National League over the first week of the regular season.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Smashes second homer
Rotowire
Hicks went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 9-4 loss to the White Sox.
Hicks cracked his second homer of the campaign Monday. Most of the 26-year-old backstop's action in 2026 is likely to come at either catcher, designated hitter or first base, as Agustin Ramirez is locked in as Miami's top catcher, and Hicks is making an early case for the Marlins to find ways to get his bat into the lineup.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Idle against lefty
Rotowire
Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
The 26-year-old was included in the lineup Saturday when Colorado sent right-hander Michael Lorenzen to the mound, but he's been on the bench for matchups against southpaws Kyle Freeland and Jose Quintana. Hicks should have a fairly clear path to playing time versus righties while Christopher Morel (oblique) and Kyle Stowers (hamstring) are on the injured list, but at-bats could be more difficult to come by once the Marlins get healthier.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Role set to begin season
Rotowire
Hicks went 0-for-3 in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.
While it wasn't a noteworthy performance, Hicks saw his only real competition for a spot on the 26-man roster eliminated when top catching prospect Joe Mack was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. Hicks is expected to split his time between catcher, first base and DH once again in 2026 while primarily facing right-handed pitching, a split in which he slashed .256/.349/.367 last year with six homers in 324 plate appearances.
Hicks is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
The Nationals are sending lefty Andrew Alvarez to the hill for the series opener, so Hicks will head to the bench along with another lefty-hitting lineup regular in Troy Johnston. Hicks closed August with a .267/.359/.344 slash line, one home run, eight RBI and 14 runs over 28 games.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Three hits in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Hicks went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.
Starting at DH and batting fifth, Hicks produced his first three-hit performance since July 13, the last game before the All-Star break. The 26-year-old rookie has held his own in the majors after making the jump from Double-A as a Rule 5 pick out of the Tigers' system, slashing .262/.355/.360 over 313 plate appearances with four homers, 27 runs and 37 RBI.
Hicks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Hicks will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Troy Johnston, Jakob Marsee and Graham Pauley while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the hill for Boston. With Hicks out of the lineup, Heriberto Hernandez will serve as the Marlins' designated hitter.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: On base three times Wednesday
Rotowire
Hicks went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Guardians.
The two-bagger was Hicks' first extra-base hit since July 5, ending a 26-game stretch in which he'd managed a .222/.318/.222 slash line. The 26-year-old rookie continues to see regular playing time against right-handed pitching while bouncing between catcher, first base and DH, but he isn't offering much fantasy value.
Hicks isn't in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.
After going 1-for-4 with a strikeout during a loss to begin the day, Hicks will retreat to the bench for Saturday's final game. Agustin Ramirez will work as Miami's catcher, and Eric Wagaman will pick up a start at first base.
