Henriquez (elbow) began playing catch from 60 feet out Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Henriquez has already been ruled out for the entirety of the 2026 campaign after undergoing UCL reconstruction surgery in the offseason, but the fact that he's now playing catch is a very encouraging sign of progress. Assuming his rehab continues smoothly, he should be ready for the start of spring training in 2027.

Marlins' Anthony Bender: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
Bender (shin) was cleared to begin a throwing program Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Bender has been on the shelf since the end of June due to a stress reaction in his right shin. He remains without a definitive timeline to return to Miami's bullpen, though his return to activity is certainly a positive sign.
Sasaki was drafted in the eighth round, 235th overall, by the Marlins in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
The Stanford slugger is a bit of a trailblazer, having left Japan after setting a new home-run record for a high schooler to play college ball in the US and try to get to MLB sooner, rather than beginning his career in NPB and relying on the posting system. Sasaki's had mixed results at Stanford while adjusting to a new language and culture, but he showed improvement in 2026 as a sophomore, launching 16 homers in 54 games with a .262/.403/.549 slash line. Sasaki's power is legit, but there are serious questions about his hit tool and he's likely limited to first base defensively. Given his stated goal of playing in the majors, he could feel turning pro is his best path forward, but returning to Stanford or even heading back home, where his rights are held by the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, remain options for the 21-year-old.

Marlins' Cam Cannarella: Tearing up Double-A
Rotowire
Cannarella has produced a .347/.445/.612 slash line with nine homers, seven steals and a 20:20 BB:K over his first 33 games for Double-A Pensacola.
The 43rd overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft out of Clemson, Cannarella was promoted from High-A Benoit in early June and is putting together a breakout campaign that puts him on track to make his big-league debut next season. While there's still some question about his ultimate power upside, the 22-year-old hits the ball hard to all fields and has the athleticism and defensive chops to stick in center field. With Jakob Marsee regressing significantly this year at the big-league level, Cannarella is establishing himself as the Marlins' center fielder of the future, and another promotion to Triple-A Jacksonville later this summer seems likely.
Williams (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Williams underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder in February but has since returned to full strength. He appeared in three games over the weekend for Single-A Jupiter, going 3-for-12 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored.
Marlins' Michael Petersen: Suffers hamstring injury Sunday
Rotowire
Petersen was lifted midway through the fifth inning of Sunday's game against the Guardians due to a right hamstring injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins treated their final game before the All-Star break as a bullpen day, with Tyler Phillips starting and covering the opening frame before Petersen became the third reliever summoned into the contest. After entering with two outs in the top of the fourth, Petersen induced a Travis Bazzana popout to close out the inning. Petersen stayed in the game to begin the fifth and allowed a leadoff home run to Brayan Rocchio, then recorded two outs before exiting the contest after surrendering a base hit to Kahlil Watson. The right-hander may have tweaked the hamstring at some point during the matchup with Watson, but it's not yet known if the injury is severe enough to keep the reliever out following the All-Star break.

Marlins' Heriberto Hernandez: Reclaims regular spot in lineup
Rotowire
Hernandez will start in left field and bat second in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
The Marlins will keep Hernandez in the starting nine for a fifth straight game after he went 3-for-13 with a solo home run, two doubles and two walks over his previous four starts. The 26-year-old should get the chance to hold down an everyday role between the corner outfield and designated hitter while Owen Caissie (calf) is on the shelf.

Rotowire
The Marlins placed Kempner on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow sprain.

Marlins' Dax Fulton: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Fulton from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
The left-hander was sent to Jacksonville in late June but will get another look in the big-league bullpen after William Kempner (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Fulton has pitched well in his three MLB appearances, allowing two earned runs with a 6:3 K:BB across seven innings. He could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen Sunday, as starter Tyler Phillips will be taking the hill on three days' rest and is expected to operate with a more limited pitch count than usual.
