Meyer (2-4) took the loss in Friday's game against the White Sox after allowing five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five batters in 6.1 innings.
Meyer squandered an early lead by allowing a solo home run to Andrew Vaughn and a Michael Taylor RBI double in the second inning, and the right-hander was chased in the seventh after giving up three additional runs to a Chicago lineup that averages just 3.4 runs per game. After starting the season with a 2.10 ERA through his first five starts, Meyer has now given up five earned runs in each of his last three outings, elevating his ERA to 4.37. He'll get another chance to turn things around next week while pitching at home against the Rays.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Stumbles again in no-decision
Rotowire
Meyer allowed five runs on 10 hits and two walks across five innings during Saturday's win against the A's. He did not strike out a batter.
The right-hander posted a 12.4 K/9 across his first six starts of 2025, but he generated just five whiffs Saturday as he failed to record a strikeout for the first time through 19 big-league starts. Meyer delivered four quality starts with a 2.10 ERA and 41:7 K:BB in his first five outings of the season, but he's surrendered 10 earned runs with a 6:6 K:BB in his past two turns through the rotation. A matchup with the White Sox next weekend should be a prime opportunity for the 26-year-old to get back on track.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Dealt loss Sunday
Rotowire
Meyer (2-3) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six in four innings.
Meyer's five runs and four walks allowed were both season-high marks. Sunday was also the first time this season he's failed to reach five innings pitched. He surrendered a first-inning home run to Cal Raleigh and allowed eight baserunners combined during the second and fourth innings leading to more runs for the Mariners. Meyer is third in the majors with 47 strikeouts and has been effective overall with a 3.18 ERA and 1.21 WHIP.
Meyer (2-2) allowed five hits over six shutout frames Monday, striking out 14 and earning a win over Cincinnati.
Meyer was nothing short of dominant in a career performance Monday. He gave up only one extra-base hit and didn't face much trouble outside of a two-on, one-out situation in the fifth inning. He fired 69 of 92 pitches for strikes and generated 24 whiffs. His slider alone forced 16 whiffs on just 21 swings. Meyer has punched out at least seven batters in four of his five starts this season and has not walked more than two in any of those outings. He's sporting an impressive 2.10 ERA with a 41:7 K:BB through 30 innings. Meyer is currently in line to start in Seattle this weekend.
Marlins' Max Meyer: Takes loss despite quality start
Rotowire
Meyer (1-2) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight across six innings.
Wednesday was Meyer's third quality start of the season, during which he generated 18 whiffs while punching out eight batters for the second time in four starts. The 26-year-old right-hander still came away with the loss, with two of the three runs he yielded coming on solo home runs by Josh Naylor and Pavin Smith in the second and sixth innings, respectively. Meyer has 27 strikeouts in 24 innings, which ranks eighth in the National League. He's slated to make his next start at home against the Reds next week.
Meyer (1-1) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Mets, allowing two hits and two walks over 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck out four.
The 26-year-old righty continued his impressive beginning to 2025 with arguably his best performance yet. Meyer took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Francisco Lindor slapped a one-out single up the middle, and he eventually got lifted after 82 pitches (51 strikes). Meyer will carry a 2.00 ERA and 19:5 K:BB through 18 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.
Meyer (0-1) was handed the loss after allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks in six innings Friday against Atlanta. He struck out a career-high eight.
The right-hander kept Atlanta in check during his time on the mound, turning in a quality start before the Miami bullpen allowed seven runs. The third inning proved to be the most damaging for Meyer, who gave up a Marcell Ozuna two-run double and an Austin Riley RBI single in the frame. The 2020 No. 3 overall pick has flashed some upside out of the gates, having yielded just four earned runs with 15 strikeouts over 11.2 frames, and his slider has been especially devastating. Per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, he's generated a 47.4 percent whiff rate on the pitch to begin the year, throwing it two miles per hour harder than in 2024 without sacrificing any movement. Even so, Meyer will be tough to trust in mixed fantasy leagues in his next projected start on the road against the Mets.
Meyer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh, pitching 5.2 innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk. He struck out seven.
The 26-year-old right-hander was impressive in his first outing of the season, tossing 93 pitches and generating 12 whiffs while falling one out short of a quality start. After averaging 94.1 mph on his fastball in 2024, Meyer demonstrated increased velocity in this appearance, posting a 95.6 mph average on the pitch. The 2020 first-round pick produced a solid 3.21 ERA with a 11:2 K:BB across 14 innings in the Grapefruit League and looks poised for a year that matches his draft pedigree. Meyer currently lines up to make his second start at Atlanta next weekend.
