Hicks went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-3 victory against the Orioles on Thursday.
Hicks accounted for the game's first two runs with a first-inning long ball. That was his fifth home run over his past 12 contests, a span in which he's also batting .314 (11-for-35) with 13 RBI. Hicks started at catcher Thursday, but his previous three starts came at either first base or DH. The Marlins seem committed to getting his bat in the lineup on a near-everyday basis given that he's been easily the team's most productive hitter. Hicks is slashing .319/.372/.584 with nine homers, 34 RBI (first in the majors), 20 runs, one stolen base and a 10:12 BB:K through 35 contests.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Slugs eighth homer
Rotowire
Hicks went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Orioles.
Getting the start at first base before shifting behind the plate late in the game after rookie catcher Joe Mack was lifted for a pinch runner, Hicks continued his breakout campaign. His seventh-inning solo shot off Anthony Nunez was his eighth long ball of the season in just 33 contests, while the four hits tied his career high. Hicks will likely see most of his playing time at first base or DH while the Marlins take a long look at Mack, but his bat should be in the lineup nearly every day given his .321/.372/.575 slash line and 32 RBI, one back of MLB leader Matt Olson.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Goes yard in return to lineup
Rotowire
Hicks went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.
The 26-year-old sat out Tuesday's game due to an illness, but Hicks looked pretty healthy in his return to action when he led off the second inning by launching a Tyler Glasnow offering down the right-field line for his seventh homer of the year. It was Hicks' third long ball in his last four starts, and on the season he continues to boast an impressive .315/.365/.576 slash line over 104 plate appearances with one steal, 18 runs and 28 RBI -- tied with Matt Olson for second in the National League behind Sal Stewart's 29.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Cleared to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Hicks (illness) will start at catcher and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Hicks ended up being scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 2-1 win after falling ill, but he made enough progress overnight to rejoin the starting nine for the series finale. The second-year player has been one of the more productive bats in the Miami lineup this season, producing a 143 wRC+ while batting .311 with six home runs, one stolen base, 27 RBI and 17 runs in 28 games.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Scratched with illness
Rotowire
Hicks was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers due to an illness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Hicks is slashing .340/.353/.574 with 14 RBI and seven runs scored across his last 51 plate appearances, but an illness will prevent him from facing the Dodgers on Tuesday. Agustin Ramirez will move behind the plate as a result, opening up the DH spot for Connor Norby.

Marlins' Liam Hicks: Homers in Friday's win
Rotowire
Hicks went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 9-4 win over the Giants.
Hicks took Adrian Houser deep in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the third. Over his last 10 games, Hicks has gone 14-for-39 (.359) with four extra-base hits and 11 RBI.

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.
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: 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.
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.
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.
