Kevin Barral and Isaac Azout bring Ely Sussman onto Fish Unfiltered to discuss an extended stretch of mediocrity from the Miami Marlins. They get into Sandy Alcantara‘s best start of the 2025 season, Eury Pérez‘s return to the rotation and Ryan Weathers‘ injury setback, plus who could conceivably represent the Marlins at the MLB All-Star Game.

Pérez made his return from Tommy John surgery on Monday, exiting after a prolonged third inning. His final line: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K (70 pitches/43 strikes).
On Tuesday, Alcantara held the Pittsburgh Pirates scoreless through six frames and earned the win. His ERA for the season still sits at a hideous 7.14.
Weathers was placed on the 60-day injured list after suffering a left lat strain. He will not be eligible to be reinstated until August 8 at the earliest.
The Marlins find themselves with a 25-41 record, losers of five consecutive series.
