With the midway point of the season getting closer, the Marlins made several moves in order to keep pace in the NL East. Most notably they tried to bolster their starting rotation, as they believe can seriously compete this season.

Prized pitching prospect, lefty Andrew Heaney, was called up from AAA after tearing it up in the minors. Heaney was the first-round pick of the Marlins in 2012, going ninth overall. Along with Heaney, the Marlins also recalled pitcher power rankings have both of them ahead of Miami. However, with a potent offense and potential consistent pitching on its way, the rest of the NL East may soon be looking up at the surging Marlins.
