The Marlins retained a re-energized right-hander who hasn’t allowed a run in his past 12 innings through two starts. He has more strikeouts (eight) than hits allowed (seven) during that span and feels he has finally turned the corner.

Miami opted not to trade its 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner. In their only trade Thursday, the Marlins sent their longest-tenured position player in outfielder Jesús Sánchez to the Houston Astros for right-hander Ryan Gusto and two prospects, infielder Chase Jaworsky and outfielder Esmil Valencia.

The Miami Marlins stood pat at the MLB trade deadline when it came to their rotation, holding onto Sandy Alcantara, for better or worse.
