NBC SportsMarlins acquired 1B/3B Deyvison De Los Santos and OF Andrew Pintar from the Diamondbacks for LHP A.J. Puk.

De Los Santos, who failed to make the Guardians as a Rule 5 pick this spring, has broken out in a huge way this year, hitting .325/.376/.635 with 28 homers in 87 games between Double- and Triple-A. It's questionable whether he'll make enough contact to turn into a quality regular for the Marlins, especially in the near future, but he's a pretty good pickup here. After all, he offers very rare power for a guy who just turned 21. The Marlins will probably give him a look at some point next month, and while we wouldn't expect immediate mixed-league value, he'll be one to watch. Since De Los Santos is primarily a first baseman now, the pickup could make it more likely that the Marlins move Josh Bell prior to the deadline.

NBC SportsCraig Kimbrel allowed three runs (one earned) and blew the save against the Marlins on Thursday.

Kimbrel entered with a three-run lead in the ninth inning, but was unable to shut the door. He retired the first man he faced, but then allowed a single and back-to-back walks to load the bases. Gunnar Henderson made an error to make it 6-4 and a sacrifice fly brought the Marlins to within a run. Josh Bell singled to tie the game and that was it for Kimbrel. He has a 2.92 ERA on the season, but he's blown six of 29 save opportunities this year. With five days remaining before the trade deadline, there's still plenty of time for Baltimore to add bullpen help or even a new closer.

NBC SportsDavid Peterson allowed two runs over five innings on Monday in a win over the Marlins.

Peterson got some early run support from New York's offense in his return from paternity leave and managed to hang on for his fifth win of the year. He gave up six hits, including a fifth-inning solo shot to Josh Bell, and managed to avoid any big innings. He struck out four and also issued four walks. He'll bring a solid 3.14 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 36/23 K/BB ratio across 48 2/3 innings (nine starts) into a home matchup on Saturday against the division-rival Braves.

NBC SportsEdwin Diaz allowed one run in the ninth inning on Monday against the Marlins, but still managed to hang on for his 12th save of the year.

Diaz got the call to protect a three-run lead in the final frame at loanDepot park and immediately got into hot water by loading the bases with only one out. He managed to limit the damage to just a single run by coaxing a ground out from Josh Bell before getting Jake Burger to pop out to end it. The 30-year-old stopper hasn't reverted to his previous lights-out form from previous seasons, but his return has helped stabilize New York's shaky high-leverage mix. He's converted five of six save chances since returning from the injured list back on July 6.
