Rotowire
Junk (4-6) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over four innings against Houston. He struck out three.

The right-hander will take a 5.09 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 51:20 K:BB across 69 innings (13 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against San Diego.
The Marlins recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Sidelined by neck strain
Rotowire
The Marlins placed Meyer on the 15-day injured list Monday with a neck strain.
According to manager Clayton McCullough, Meyer first reported discomfort in his neck during his July 7 start against the Mariners, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. He was given extra rest before his next outing but labored through three innings Saturday in Milwaukee. The right-hander will be eligible for activation Aug. 4, but the Marlins have not yet offered a timeline for Meyer's return. Braxton Garrett has pitched well lately at Triple-A Jacksonville and could take Meyer's spot in the Miami rotation.

Marlins' Pete Fairbanks: Blows save, takes loss Sunday
Rotowire
Fairbanks (3-4) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Brewers after allowing three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning.
Fairbanks entered in the ninth inning tasked with protecting a one-run lead but allowed a leadoff single before issuing a walk to Brice Turang. He briefly settled down with a strikeout, but William Contreras followed with a three-run walk-off homer to hand Fairbanks his fourth loss of the season. The right-hander has now blown three of his 16 save opportunities, and after posting a 6.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP during the first half, Sunday's outing did little to inspire confidence for fantasy managers heading into the future.

Rotowire
Perez did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Brewers, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out nine over six scoreless innings.
Perez threw 66 of his 93 pitches for strikes and generated 17 whiffs in a dominant outing to start his second half of the season. He never faced more than four batters in an inning and struck out the side twice. The Marlins were unable to hold the lead in the ninth, costing Perez the win. The right-hander picked up where he left off before the All-Star break, as he has now posted a 1.14 ERA and 46:9 K:BB across 39.1 innings in his last six starts. He'll carry a 3.53 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 104:37 K:BB into his next scheduled start at home against the Padres.
Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee.
After taking a groundball off his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game, Lopez will be on the bench for the series finale against Milwaukee. Javier Sanoja will play shortstop and bat cleanup in Lopez's absence Sunday.

Pauley will return to the big-league club after spending a couple of weeks in Triple-A. In the majors this season, the 25-year-old has slashed .176/.219/.297 with one homer and 11 RBI. To make room for Pauley on the roster, Miami optioned Rece Hinds to Jacksonville.
Meyer took a no-decision Saturday against Milwaukee, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out five.
Meyer labored Saturday, needing 74 pitches to complete three frames in his shortest outing of the campaign. The Marlins opted to give the 27-year-old extra rest ahead of the All-Star break and skip his final turn through the rotation of the first half, and Meyer showed signs of rust in the aftermath. The right-hander should revert to more typical rest ahead of his next appearance against the Padres, still holding a strong 2.68 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 121:41 K:BB over a career-high 111 innings.
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said after Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Brewers that Lopez will get his right ring finger tested after a ground ball "got the nail pretty good," Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Lopez took a ground ball to his right ring finger in the second inning of Saturday's game. He was able to stay in the contest, but he'll undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury. Leo Jimenez and Javier Sanoja could see some reps at shortstop if Lopez were to miss time.
Conine went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.
The second-generation player took Logan Henderson deep in the fifth inning for the Marlins' only offense on the night. Conine has been productive in a strong-side platoon role since he came off the IL in late June, and over his last 61 plate appearances he's produced a .308/.410/.596 slash line with four of his six homers on the season and nine of his 13 RBI.
