Conine went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Dodgers.
Conine made his third-consecutive start, rewarding the Marlins with his second blast of the season. The rookie outfielder has five extra-base hits, six RBI and 10 runs scored across 57 at-bats since making his major-league debut on Aug 26.

Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Blasted in loss
Rotowire
Cabrera (4-8) took the loss Thursday, allowing seven runs on four hits and five walks over 2.1 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three.
Cabrera allowed single runs in each of the first two innings, then lost his control in the third, tossing just 10 of 26 pitches for strikes while allowing a single, three walks and hitting a batter prior to being pulled with one out in the inning. Two additional runs crossed the plate prior to his removal while all three runners he was responsible for later came around to score to render him with seven total runs allowed. Cabrera entered the game having allowed just one earned run over his previous three starts but ran into a buzzsaw on Thursday. Cabrera is tentatively slated to make one more start this season, set to take place when the Marlins travel to Minnesota to take on the Twins.
The Marlins designated Devers for assignment Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Devers was recalled at the start of September but has played sparingly this month while dealing with a hand injury. The 24-year-old slashed just .228/.293/.360 across 209 plate appearances this season with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Marlins' David Hensley: Dispatched to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Hensley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Since arriving from Triple-A in late July, Hensley has turned in a .212/.293/.288 slash line with one homer and four RBI across 58 plate appearances. He'll now be sent back to the minors as Derek Hill (shoulder) returns from the injured list, and it's unlikely Hensley makes another appearance for the Marlins over the final 10 games of the season.

Marlins' Derek Hill: Activated from IL
Rotowire
The Marlins activated Hill (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Hill missed the previous two weeks of action with an impingement in his left (non-throwing) shoulder but has been cleared to return after playing two rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 28-year-old was receiving regular run in the outfield prior to getting hurt, but the Marlins figure to prioritize Jesus Sanchez, Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine over Hill down the stretch.

Marlins' Vidal Brujan: Reinstated from injured list
Rotowire
The Marlins activated Brujan (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Brujan has been out all month due to a right shoulder AC joint sprain but is ready to return after playing a couple rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. He should see a good amount of playing time down the stretch in a super-utility role.
Edwards went 1-for-5 with a pair of stolen bases in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Edwards singled to lead off the Marlins' half of the first inning and stole second base before advancing to third on an error. The shortstop nabbed another theft in the seventh after getting aboard on another Los Angeles error, though he was subsequently thrown out trying to steal third. Edwards has four steals over his past three games to push his total to 30 on the campaign, tied for 12th in the majors.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Can't keep ball in park in return
Rotowire
Weathers (3-6) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings.
Weathers made his first major-league start since June 7 following a stint on the injured list due to a finger injury. All of Los Angeles' runs against the left-hander came via the long ball, and the majority of the damage came in a five-run fourth inning that included a two-run blast by Tommy Edman and a three-run shot off the bat of Enrique Hernandez. The barrage of homers hasn't been typical for Weathers this season -- prior to Wednesday, he hadn't given up multiple home runs in any of his 13 outings and had surrendered a tolerable eight long balls over 71 frames overall.
Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Settling back into everyday role
Rotowire
Edwards will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Edwards was mysteriously out of the lineup for three consecutive games last Tuesday through Thursday, presumably due to an unreported injury. He still appeared off the bench in two of those contests and has since reclaimed his spot in the Marlins' everyday lineup, as he'll be picking up a fifth consecutive start Wednesday. If Edwards is still playing through an injury, it hasn't been evident on the basepaths, with the 25-year-old nabbing a pair of steals in his four games since rejoining the lineup.

Marlins' Javier Sanoja: Returns to bench role
Rotowire
Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
After getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 7, Sanoja proceeded to start in seven of the Marlins' ensuing nine games, seeing time in left field, center field and both middle-infield spots during that stretch. However, with Xavier Edwards stepping back in as the Marlins' everyday shortstop and with Miami facing right-handers on consecutive days, Sanoja has found himself back on the bench for both contests. The rookie looks set to operate as a short-side platoon player for the duration of the season.

Marlins' Jeff Lindgren: Pushed off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Marlins designated Lindgren for assignment Wednesday.
Lindgren's stint on the Marlins' 40-man and 28-man rosters lasted just under a week, with the 28-year-old ultimately being deemed expendable with Miami needing to clear room for Ryan Weathers (finger), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Wednesday versus the Dodgers. The right-handed Lindgren went unused out of the Miami bullpen and will likely head back to Triple-A Jacksonville if he goes unclaimed off waivers.

Marlins' Ryan Weathers: Activated for start Wednesday
Rotowire
The Marlins reinstated Weathers (finger) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Dodgers in Miami.
Miami designated long reliever Jeff Lindgren for assignment to clear room for Weathers on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster. The southpaw had delivered five consecutive quality starts plus an 11-strikeout outing before he was lifted from his last appearance June 7 due to a left index finger strain. Though Weathers' return from the IL took longer than expected, he'll likely be in store for two more starts with the Marlins to close out the season. Weathers should be stretched out enough to handle somewhere close to a typical starter's workload after he tossed 78 pitches over five scoreless innings last Friday in his final rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville.
Sanchez went 5-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Dodgers.
Sanchez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning before extending Miami's lead to 3-0 with another base hit in the second. The outfielder would add a third RBI with a double in the fourth en route to his first career five-hit game. The 26-year-old Sanchez had gone just 1-for-16 in five contests coming into Tuesday. He's slashing .252/.309/.424 with 17 homers, 62 RBI, 52 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 489 plate appearances this season.

Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Early exit vs. Dodgers
Rotowire
McCaughan didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
McCaughan got through the first two innings unscathed before he was tagged for four runs in the third on a Shohei Ohtani homer and a Max Muncy double. He'd allow a fifth run on a Miguel Rojas solo shot in the fourth. McCaughan has yet to make it past the fifth inning in his four starts with the Marlins. His ERA is up to 7.33 with a 1.67 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB across 27 innings. McCaughan will look for a better result in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus Atlanta.
