Marlins catcher Fortes impresses on defense in first game back - a 3-2 loss to the A's
Briefly

Nick Fortes, catching for the Miami Marlins, made a successful return to the field after a three-and-a-half-week recovery from a left oblique strain. In his comeback game against the Athletics, he demonstrated his readiness by executing a remarkable defensive play. Fortes noted a fresh start after rehabilitation, which even inspired a new mustache. His return coincides with the team’s evolving catching situation, where other rookies have emerged. Fortes emphasized the camaraderie among the catchers, suggesting a healthy competition that will enhance the team's overall performance.
"Rehab makes you do crazy things, honestly. Just sitting back not being with the team for a week when they were on the West Coast, I drove myself insane."
"I think we've got a great dynamic. We really get along. We're all helping each other get better, and we all want the best for each other."
