Atlanta Braves 2B Jace Peterson provided all the offense for his team on Tuesday, June 21, belting a two-run homer off Miami Marlins RP David Phelps before delivering a tiebreaking RBI single in the top of the 10th.

Fantasy Tip: The home run was Peterson's sixth in 654 career at-bats, so don't expect this to become a common occurrence. He primarily plays only against left-handers and obviously doesn't offer much pop, so owners outside of NL-only leagues can ignore this rare performance.

Miami Marlins SP Adam Conley is making a case to be the team's fourth starter, and he's impressed manager Don Mattingly this spring. SPs Jarred Cosart, Justin Nicolino, Jose Urena, Edwin Jackson and David Phelps are fighting for the final rotation spot.

Fantasy Tip: It took Conley a while to get going after tendonitis issues stemming from 2014, but he's not a bad end-game target in really deep mixed leagues and NL-only formats if he wins a rotation spot.

Miami Marlins SPs Adam Conley, Edwin Jackson, Justin Nicolino and David Phelps are among the candidates battling for the final two rotations spots in spring training. Internally many believe Nicolino has the higher ceiling. SPs Kendry Flores, Brad Hand and Jose Urena are considered long shots at this point.

Fantasy Tip: The winner of the No. 4 and 5 job has little appeal in mixed fantasy formats, but with a healthy lineup providing run support they wouldn't be bad fantasy options in most NL-only formats.

Miami Marlins SP David Phelps (forearm) has a stress fracture of the radius bone in his right forearm and will miss the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Tip: The Miami rotation is a mess with Justin Nicolino ($4,600, 9.2% of cap), Adam Conley ($3,100, 6.2% of cap), Brad Hand ($3,000, 6.0% of cap) and Kendry Flores following new-ace Tom Koehler ($5,800, 11.6% of cap). There is all kinds of risk starting any of them outside of NL-only and cavernous mixed leagues, and even in those formats you should likely aim higher.

Miami Marlins SP Kendry Flores will take over the rotation spot previously held by SP David Phelps (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Fantasy Tip: As with any new pitcher, wait and see how Flores does in his first one or two starts and how he handles matchups before investing a FantasyScore roster spot and money on him.

Miami Marlins SP David Phelps (forearm) was put on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain Monday, Aug. 17, and P Erik Cordier was recalled from Class AAA New Orleans in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Tip: It's unclear who will be replacing Phelps ($5,100, 10.2% of cap) in the starting rotation, but either way, the replacement is unlikely to be a strong option on FantasyScore, at least for the immediate future. Phelps was likely only owned by those in deep NL-only leagues.

Miami Marlins SP David Phelps lost his fifth straight decision as he lasted just 4 1/3 innings in an 8-6 loss to the New York Mets Wednesday, Aug. 5.

Fantasy Tip: Phelps ($5,100, 10.2% of cap) almost got off the hook thanks to his team's comeback bid, but his record now stands at 4-8. His ERA (4.35) isn't bad and his ratio (32 walks, 73 strikeouts) is decent, but he has just had bad luck on the field. His price may be a bit too high for now.

Miami Marlins SP David Phelps is back in the starting rotation and will make the start against the Cincinnati Reds Friday, July 10.

Fantasy Tip: Phelps ($5,100, 10.2% of cap) had a 4.03 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with a 6.1 K/9 rate in 13 starts for the Marlins (82 2/3 innings) before being demoted to the bullpen. A matchup against the Reds in his first start back in the rotation makes him a very shaky option on FantasyScore.
