The Miami Marlins sent a shockwave through their fanbase on Monday by optioning Max Meyer to Triple-A Jacksonville. This move seems counterintuitive considering Meyer's recent success.
Despite not making the Opening Day rotation, Meyer has emerged as Miami's most consistent pitcher. His two wins account for two-thirds of the Marlins' meager total. He even silenced the potent Atlanta Braves lineup in a recent outing.
Fans are understandably confused. Speculation revolves around two main

Closer Tanner Scott surrendered a game-winning home run to Marcell Ozuna in the ninth, blowing his first save of the season. Scott has struggled overall this year, now sitting at 0-3.
Ozuna launched a three-run homer on a pitch that was not bad, but may have been too predictable. The Marlins, however, had shown offensive life earlier in the game. They pounded out nine

However, two errors – including a third in the series for Luis Arraez – hurt the Marlins' chances. Arraez, who committed only four errors all of last season, is struggling defensively and offensively.
Max Meyer will look to turn things ar
