The Miami Marlins face significant challenges as starting pitcher Max Meyer has been diagnosed with a serious hip injury, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. This development comes shortly after another pitcher, Braxton Garrett, was ruled out for 2025 following elbow surgery. Ryan Weathers is also expected to miss time with a lat strain. Manager Clayton McCullough expressed disappointment but shifted focus toward recovery for Meyer and the team’s future, remaining optimistic as Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez show promising performances despite the setbacks.
Meyer closes 2025 with a 3-5 record and 4.73 ERA in 12 starts, allowing 72 hits and 20 walks with 68 strikeouts in 64 1/3 innings. This season began well, with four earned runs in his first three starts against strong teams.
Manager Clayton McCullough expressed disappointment over Meyer’s injury, emphasizing the need to focus on recovery, stating, 'Max is - and we all are - bummed out for him that it ended up having to go this direction to get him back.'
Marlins’ starting pitcher Max Meyer will miss the rest of the season due to a significant hip injury, joining Braxton Garrett who is out following elbow surgery. This leaves the team facing a staffing crisis.
Despite the setbacks, there is optimism in Miami as Sandy Alcantara remains effective, and Eury Perez has regained his velocity post-surgery, highlighting the potential for future success if other pitchers recover.
