Marlins News
The Miami Marlins are scrambling to stay in postseason contention as they recalled infielder Jared Serna for his MLB debut, filling the gap left by Xavier Edwards, who hit the injured list with a thumb sprain. After a promising 6-2 victory over the Nationals, they still find themselves teetering at 69-68, having gone just 3-4 in their last seven games. The Marlins squandered an early lead in their last outing, a reminder that consistency remains their Achilles' heel. With Daylen Lile of the Nationals continuing to punish opposing pitching, the Marlins need to find reliable bats like Heriberto Hernández and Kyle Stowers to secure crucial wins in September. The clock is ticking, and if they want to make a serious Wild Card push, now is the time to step up.
