Tue May 2 2023 | 15:51 | Garrett Cooper Still Out Tuesday |
Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Bryce Elder. Cooper had stomach issues on Sunday and was pulled from that contest early, and apparently he's still not feeling well enough to play. With the 32-year-old out of action, Yuli Gurriel will man first base and bat third, while outfielder Jorge Soler serves as the designated hitter and bats second against Elder. There's a good chance we'll see Cooper make his return to the lineup on Wednesday. He's off to a solid start for the Fish in 2023, going 25-for-92 (.272) with two doubles, a triple, three home runs, 13 RBI and five runs scored in 24 games played. |

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper exited Sunday's contest against the Chicago Cubs early with a stomach illness, per the team. The 32-year-old was 1-for-2 with a single before leaving the game. The team should provide an update following Sunday's game but it doesn't sound too serious. He should be good to go on Tuesday when the Fish start a three-game series with the Braves at home. Jesus Sanchez took his place in the lineup |

Sat Apr 29 2023 | 14:14 | Garrett Cooper Getting A Breather Saturday |
Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper is absent from the lineup for Saturday's matchup with Caleb Kilian and the Chicago Cubs. The 32-year-old is slashing .267/.302/.411 with three home runs over 23 games but is just two for his last 19. Yuli Gurriel will take Cooper's spot on the field and bat cleanup. The two-time World Series champion is beginning his first campaign with the Marlins and is batting .289 with a .778 OPS and two homers through 13 games. With Kilian making his first start of the season with the Cubs and his poor numbers from 2022, it may be a perfect time to stream Gurriel, who can provide average and counting stats. |

Thu Apr 27 2023 | 19:09 | Garrett Cooper Comes Up Clutch On Thursday |
Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper came up big with a game-winning double in a come-from-behind 5-4 win over the Braves in Atlanta. Down 4-0 heading into the top of the ninth, the Marlins scored three runs to cut the deficit to one before Cooper clubbed a two-out, two-run double to give the visitors the lead. It was a form of redemption for Cooper, who was at designated hitter Thursday, as he had struck out three times while leaving three men on base prior to his game-winning hit. It's been a solid if unspectacular start to the season for the 32-year-old who now owns a .279 batting average with three home runs alongside a .745 OPS across 22 games to begin the 2023 campaign. |

Wed Apr 12 2023 | 14:18 | Garrett Cooper Not Starting Wednesday |
Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper is out of Wednesday's starting lineup after leaving Tuesday's contest with a leg injury. While the issue doesn't appear serious, the Marlins will give Cooper the day off against a tough right-hander in the Phillies' Zack Wheeler. A late bloomer, Cooper's bat has been above average in his career but he's largely lacked power. That certainly hasn't been the case this season, however, as Cooper has three home runs, a double, a triple, and a .997 OPS to his credit across 45 trips to the plate. Yuli Gurriel will man first base with Jorge Soler as the designated hitter Wednesday afternoon. |

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (pinkie) fractured his fifth metacarpal on his left hand in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Mets, per Miami Herald's Jordan McPherson. Cooper was hit by a pitch in the top of the fifth inning and went 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout before being replaced by Charles Leblanc. This will likely be the end of Cooper's season, who slashed .261/.337/.415 with nine home runs and 50 RBI in 469 plate appearances. The 31-year-old has played well when healthy but has endured numerous injuries over the past several seasons. |

The Miami Marlins reinstated first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (concussion) from the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and designated first baseman Jesus Aguilar for assignment in a corresponding move. Cooper is back at first base and is hitting fifth on Friday against Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson. The 31-year-old should be a regular for Miami down the stretch, and he'll return to a .269/.345/.415 line with seven home runs, 42 RBI and 28 runs scored in his 323 at-bats this year. Aguilar has mostly played every day for the Fish in 2022 and was hitting .236/.286/.388 with 15 long balls, 49 RBI, 37 runs scored and a stolen base in 415 at-bats. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger will be hoping to latch on with a contender before the end of the year. |

Wed Aug 24 2022 | 11:34 | Garrett Cooper Begins Rehab Assignment |
Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (concussion) started a minor league rehab assignment with Single-A Jupiter on Tuesday. Manager Don Mattingly said the plan is for Cooper to play three days in a row before being evaluated. Mattingly doesn't think Cooper will need much more time than that, as he has recovered from his concussion symptoms quickly. The 31-year-old could be back in Miami's lineup by early next week, barring any setbacks. The first-time All-Star should return to a regular role in Miami once he's ready after hitting .269/.345/.415 with seven home runs, 42 RBI and 28 runs scored in 368 plate appearances over 94 games with the Fish before suffering a head injury last week. |

Across 86 games this season, Cooper's been productive, slashing .275/.344/.422 with seven home runs, 42 RBI, and 28 runs. The 31-year-old can be dropped in standard leagues, but he still has relevance in deeper leagues, even as just a bench bat. |

Wed Jul 27 2022 | 11:40 | Dodgers Looking At Garrett Cooper |
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been looking at Miami Marlins All-Star first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (wrist), but teams in the Juan Soto sweepstakes might wait to act on other hitters. Cooper also just landed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right wrist contusion after he was hit by a pitch last Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 31-year-old won't be back until after the Aug. 2 trade deadline, but he could certainly help an already strong Dodgers lineup down the stretch if he's healthy. In 84 games for the Fish this year, Cooper has a slash line of .279/.347/.426 with seven home runs, 40 RBI and 28 runs scored in 337 plate appearances. |

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper went deep off Los Angeles Angels starter Noah Syndergaard Tuesday, helping the Marlins to a 2-1 victory. Cooper also walked in four plate appearances. He now has six homers this year.

Fantasy managers will certainly hope for more home runs as the season drags on, but his all-around contributions make him an excellent end-of-the-bench option. |
