Episode Details

Max Meyer is taking a well-timed break from the mound ahead of the All-Star break, skipping his scheduled start to rest up for the playoff push. The Miami Marlins, currently tied for second in their division and locked in for a wild-card spot, are prioritizing his health as he’s already hit career highs in starts and innings despite past injuries. Instead of pitching on Sunday, they’ll go with a bullpen game, giving Meyer four extra days of rest while letting him soak in the All-Star festivities as a spectator. Though he won’t play in the All-Star Game, his standout season—including a low ERA and high strikeout rate—earned him a spot on the roster alongside teammate Sandy Alcantara. The Marlins plan to lean on Alcantara and Eury Perez in the upcoming series before Meyer’s well-deserved recharge.
