Meyer (elbow) will begin a bullpen progression this week, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Making his way back from last August's Tommy John surgery, Meyer has thrown on flat ground without incident and is ready to progress to the bump. It's possible he'll be ready for games by the Arizona Fall League, with the hope that he'll be full-go for the 2024 campaign.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Candidate to pitch in AFL
Rotowire
Meyer (elbow) could recover in time to pitch in the Arizona Fall League, Baseball America reports.
He underwent Tommy John surgery last August and is unlikely to be a full-go until October. The AFL runs from early-October through mid-November, so it wouldn't be surprising if Meyer isn't quite ready in time, but he should at least be a full participant in spring training early next year.
Meyer (elbow) has extended his flat-ground throwing to 135 feet, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Meyer underwent Tommy John surgery last August and might not appear in any sort of live games in 2023, but he continues to take encouraging steps. The 24-year-old right-hander still ranks as a top-100 prospect through the recovery process and might be a candidate for the Opening Day rotation in Miami next season.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Extends throwing distance
Rotowire
The Marlins announced Monday that Meyer (elbow) has increased his throwing distance off flat ground to 90 feet, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
It's another marginal step forward for Meyer in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, as the right-hander had been limited to playing catch from 75 feet over the past two weeks. Meyer still appears to be at least a couple weeks away from completing his flat-ground throwing progression before he's cleared to start throwing off a mound.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Tossing from 75 feet out
Rotowire
The Marlins announced Monday that Meyer (elbow) has been cleared to play catch from 75 feet, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Meyer recently appears to have initiated a throwing program after spending the past few months navigating the early stages of his rehab from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent Aug. 9. The Marlins are still developing the 24-year-old right-hander as a starting pitcher, but if he avoids any setbacks while passing through the multiple checkpoints he still needs to clear in his rehab program, he likely won't be available as anything more than a multi-inning reliever in the event he returns from the 60-day injured list before season's end, which is far from a sure thing.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Nearing return to throwing
Rotowire
Meyer (elbow) said Wednesday he expects to begin a throwing program within the next few weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in August, so a return to throwing six months later would be an encouraging sign for his recovery timeline. Meyer still faces a lengthy rehab schedule to build back his arm strength, but a return late in the 2023 campaign appears possible, assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Meyer (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
With the procedure now behind him, Meyer will begin working his way back from the elbow injury he suffered in late July. It remains to be seen how long he will need to recover, but chances are he will miss most or all of the 2023 campaign.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Moved to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Meyer (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Meyer needs Tommy John surgery, and it couldn't have come at a worse time on the calendar as he may not be ready for game action until after the 2023 season. In the meantime, Trevor Rogers also landed on the shelf with backs spasms, so Nick Neidert may be on his way up from Triple-A to join the Marlins' rotation.
Meyer (elbow) underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a tear in his UCL which will require Tommy John surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Meyer exited his second major-league start Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, and the issue will ultimately force him to miss the rest of the 2022 season and most or all of next year. It's a significant blow for the highly-regarded prospect, who posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 58 innings over 12 starts at Triple-A Jacksonville this year prior to making his big-league debut in mid-July.
