Dodgers claim Nick Nastrini off waivers from Marlins
The Dodgers on Friday brought back an old friend, claiming pitcher Nick Nastrini off waivers from the Marlins after the right-hander struggled this season in Triple-A for two organizations. Nastrini was drafted by the Dodgers in the fourth round in 2021 out of UCLA, one of five pitchers selected that year by Los Angeles to have since reached the majors, along with Emmet Sheehan, Justin Wrobleski, and Ben Casparius. The other 2021 draftee to get to the big leagues was Jordan Leasure, who was dealt along with Nastrini to the White Sox at the trade deadline in 2023 for Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly. Nastrini pitched in Chicago in 2024 but this year has been confined to Triple-A, with a 7.58 ERA with nearly as many walks (43) as strikeouts (49) in his 46⅓ innings. He's pitched in 21 games, seven of them starts. The Marlins claimed Nastrini off waivers from the White Sox on July 1, and the right-hander allowed two runs in two innings for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday in his only game in the organization. Miami designated Nastrini for assignment on Wednesday. Nastrini has been in the minors all season and hasn't yet used one of his five options since the season began. He's using his second option year this season. To make room on the 40-man roster for Nastrini, the Dodgers designated Noah Davis for assignment. Davis, who was acquired from the Red Sox for cash on March 27, has used four of his five options this season, the last of which came one day after tying a Los Angeles Dodgers record by allowing 10 runs in a relief appearance. Davis had a 19.50 ERA in his five appearances in the majors with the Dodgers this season, with five walks, four hit batters, and eight strikeouts in his six innings. The 28-year-old right-hander had a 3.94 ERA and one save in 21 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City, with 38 strikeouts and 15 walks in 32 innings.

Expert picks & predictions for tonight's game between the Padres and the Marlins 'Looking at the second half of the year per Tankathon, San Diego has the 4th-easiest strength of schedule remaining The Padres open the second-half with three games at the Nationals, three more at the Marlins, then to St. Louis for three more road games as part of a nine-game East Coast road trip. However, we have to admit, those are decent matchups to have a winning record across for a 9-game road trip — in other words, it could be much worse. After that nine-game road trip, the next 27 games will be on the West Coast for San Diego, whether they are in California, Arizona or Washington (the state). San Diego will be in a prime position to make a run at the playoffs, but I still haven't gotten to the best part. The final month of the season is a great opportunity for the Padres to gain ground too -- in the final 28 games -- 13 of those are against the Orioles, White Sox, and Rockies! I love the Padres to make the postseason as a second-half futures bet.' Please bet responsibly.

Dodgers Set To Battle Mets In Trade Deadline Sweepstakes For Young Ace?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. ESPN's Jeff Passan recently suggested the Miami Marlins could trade their 27-year-old starting pitcher Edward Cabrera ahead of the trade deadline. When talking about potential suitors, Passan listed the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers among the "best fits" in a blockbuster deal for the righty. "All the potential the Marlins have seen in the 27-year-old right-hander is finally coming into focus this season," Passan wrote. "While his 97 mph fastball gets hitters' attention, it's Cabrera's curveball and slider doing most of the work. And with a changeup that in years past has been his best pitch, Cabrera will be pricey because of the full arsenal and three more years of club control."

MIAMI, FLORIDA - JULY 6: Edward Cabrera #27 of the Miami Marlins reacts in the game against the Milwaukee Brewers at loanDepot Park on July 6, 2025 in Miami, Florida. Jasen Vinlove/The Dodgers need to add pitching to their big league roster as badly as any team in the game. As of now, their starting rotation is averaging well below five innings pitched per start. The bullpen is also struggling to stay healthy, which makes the starting rotation that much more important. The Dodgers could cut ties with prospects like Bobby Miller and James Outman to make a deal happen. They could even use Dalton Rushing as trade bait in order to land Cabrera. The Mets' rotation has struggled, too. If they're going to win the World Series, they're going to need to make some additions to the pitching staff. The issue with the Mets is they're in the Marlins' division. With Cabrera pitching as well as he is, it's hard to imagine the Marlins would be willing to trade him within the National League East. Either way, these two NL powerhouses will be battling it out for the next few months, whether it be for the same trade target or in the postseason.

Former Marlins manager Jim Leyland is having a moment. See the big one in 1997
Florida Marlins Manager Jim Leyland left a legacy in South Florida, leading the team to its first World Series championship in 1997. With a lineup that included Moises Alou, Gary Sheffield and Bobby Bonilla, the Marlins won a seven-game series against the then-Cleveland Indians to become MLB champions. The Florida Marlins, which also won the World Series in 2003, became the Miami Marlins in 2012, when the team moved to the new loanDepot Park. In July 2025, Leyland was enshrined into the Marlins Legends Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame in 2024. Here is a look back at Leyland's World Series victory with the Marlins in 1997:

Marlins throw another righty (Sandy Alcantara) at Padres
July 23 - The San Diego Padres' lineup is getting tested in the series against the host Miami Marlins. San Diego prevailed 2-1 in a game started by Miami's Eury Perez on Monday but lost to Edward Cabrera 4-3 on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the Padres will face their third straight hard-throwing right-hander as Sandy Alcantara -- the National League's 2022 Cy Young Award winner -- takes the mound. Padres manager Mike Shildt, though, remains confident in his hitters. "I think our approach at the plate can carry us every night," Shildt said on Tuesday. "It's something we've addressed. It's about taking a quality at-bat." Alcantara (4-9, 7.14 ERA) is 2-2 with a 4.04 ERA in six career starts against the Padres, and he pitched poorly in a no-decision at San Diego on May 28. He yielded six runs on seven hits in four innings, walking four and failing to record a strikeout for only the third time in his career. The 29-year-old right-hander has struggled this season after missing last year following elbow surgery. The Marlins are 8-11 when Alcantara starts. In 2022, Miami went 19-13 when he got the ball. As for Miami's bullpen, it has been surprisingly good, led by Anthony Bender (1.91 ERA), Cade Gibson (2.59) and Ronny Henriquez (3.00). Marlins manager Clayton McCullough had praise for Henriquez, who gave up two runs in the ninth inning on Tuesday but held on for his sixth save. "That was great for Ronny," McCullough said of Henriquez, who is in his first year with the Marlins. "We've put him in a variety of situations, and he continues to be a key cog." Miami placed backup outfielder Derek Hill on the injured list on Wednesday due to a sprained left middle finger. He joins a lengthy list of injured Marlins, but the team has been playing solid baseball for more than a month, going 22-12 in the past 34 games. The Padres will look to bounce back on Wednesday behind Dylan Cease (3-9, 4.64 ERA), who is 0-1 with a 2.45 ERA in two career starts against Miami. The right-hander will be starting just two days short of the one-year anniversary of his no-hitter against the Washington Nationals. Cease is coming off a scoreless outing vs. the Nationals on Friday, when he pitched 5 1/3 innings and gave up just four hits and no walks while striking out 10. That contest followed a three-start streak in which Cease lost each time and pitched to a 7.31 ERA. He has registered six quality starts in 20 outings this year, but his most recent quality start came on June 21. The Padres are 3-2 on their current 10-game road trip, during which Luis Arraez has rediscovered his stroke. The three-time batting champion, who went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI single on Tuesday, is 8-for-20 (.400) while hitting safely in all five games on the trip. Arraez had gone 1-for-20 in the final five games before the All-Star break. His average is still just .286, which would be the lowest of his career. --Field Level Media
