Fear the Fish: Streaking Marlins try to stay hot
The Miami Marlins have won seven games in a row for the first time since 2022. Why it matters: The rebuilding Marlins — who have the cheapest payroll in Major League Baseball, per Spotrac — have exceeded expectations after trading away top players like Luis Arráez in 2024, which led some fans to protest outside loanDepot Park. Catch up quick: Sunday's win against the Arizona Diamondbacks set two franchise records for Miami: a ninth straight road win and a perfect sweep of every game of a 6+ game road trip. Miami (36-45) is fourth in the National League East at the halfway point of the season. What they're saying: "What was expected to be a lost season has turned into something far more uplifting: a scrappy team, filled with prospects with light resumes, exceeding any reasonable expectations," Miami Herald sports reporter Barry Jackson wrote in a recent column. Marlins president of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix told that he's "proud of how well we are competing day in and day out." "We are in every game. We're playing well against good teams, and we're showing improvement and progress in individual players at the same time." What's next: The Marlins play the Minnesota Twins tonight to begin a six-game home stand. If Miami wins an eighth straight game, it would be the longest winning streak since moving to loanDepot Park in 2012, per the Herald. How to watch: Marlins vs. Twins, 6:40pm.

Luis Arráez Shares Major Health Update After Frightening Collision
Opposing pitchers likely enjoyed the last week, if only because they didn't need to face pesky San Diego Padres star Luis Arráez. That brief reprieve is over, as Arráez is expected to come off the injured list Tuesday. San Diego placed Arráez on the 7-day concussion IL last Monday, less than 24 hours after his frightening collision with Houston Astros second baseman Mauricio Dubón.

Both players went to the ground, with Arráez remaining down until a stretcher took him off the field. Arraez took ground balls at first base before Saturday's 4-1 loss to the San Diego Padres. The two-time Silver Slugger said he's free of the symptoms that forced him into concussion protocol. San Diego Padres designated hitter Luis ArráezThomas Shea-Imagn Images 'I just want to sleep,' Arráez said, via the San Diego-Union Tribune. 'I don't want to see people around me, but the doctor says it's normal,' Arráez added. 'Now I feel good. I'm excited to be here. I can't wait to get back.' Advertisement San Diego is getting Arráez back at the right time. The third-place Padres have lost seven of 10 after their strong start. Arráez hit .287 with three home runs, seven RBI, and a .755 OPS over his first 96 plate appearances. The three-time defending batting champion incredibly struck out only twice in that span. Former All-Star outfielder Jason Heyward should also rejoin the Padres this week. Heyward hasn't played since April 16 because of left knee inflammation.
