NEW YORK — Left-hander Ryan Weathers was acquired by the New York Yankees from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday for four prospects, a move to bolster a rotation that will be missing Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón when the season starts.
Miami received outfielders Brendan Jones and Dillon Lewis and infielders Dylan Jasso and Juan Matheus.
Weathers, 26, was 2-2 with a 3.99 ERA in eight starts last year in his second straight injury-shortened season. He missed time with a strained left flexor, made his season debut on May 14, then didn’t pitch for Miami between June 7 and Sept. 11 because of a left...

MIAMI — The New York Mets entered Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Miami Marlins with a singular goal: win.
That was the only thing manager Carlos Mendoza’s fading team could still control in its bid to reach the postseason. But those hopes dissipated in one decisive inning.
New York could not overcome a four-run fourth by the Marlins, and the Mets were eliminated from the playoff field with a 4-0 loss.
The Mets missed the postseason a year after reaching the National League Championship Series and after holding the best record in the majors on June 12 — a...

MIAMI (AP) — Pete Alonso homered and drilled an RBI double, Clay Holmes combined with three relievers on a one-hitter, and the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 5-0 on Saturday to push their playoff fate to the final day of the regular season.
The Mets (83-78) pulled a half-game ahead of Cincinnati (82-78) for the last National League wild card. The Reds were set to play at NL Central champion Milwaukee later Saturday.
Because the Reds hold the head-to-head tiebreaker, New York needs Cincinnati to lose at least one of its final two games against the Brewers to have a...
MIAMI (AP) — Sandy Alcantara gave up two runs in seven-plus innings, Connor Norby homered and the Miami Marlins rallied to beat the New York Mets 6-2 Friday night.
The Mets began Friday one game ahead of Cincinnati for the third NL wild card.
Xavier Edwards had three hits and Otto López doubled and singled for the Marlins.
Alcantara (11-12) settled down after allowing Francisco Lindor’s game-starting homer and Pete Alonso’s RBI double in the first. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner allowed six hits through the first three innings then retired 10 straight before Lindor walked to lead off the...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Walker Buehler pitched five scoreless innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Miami 1-0 on Thursday night, eliminating the Marlins from the wild-card race.
After hitting a team-record eight homers Wednesday night in an 11-1 victory that wrapped up a first-round bye, the Phillies scored the lone run on Alec Bohm’s first-inning groundout.
Buehler (10-7) allowed three hits and three walks and hit a batter. Taijuan Walker followed with two innings of relief, Matt Strahm pitched the eighth and, after an hour-long rain delay, 40-year-old David Robertson...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Edmundo Sosa hit three of Philadelphia’s team-record eight home runs, Kyle Schwarber had two to pad his National League lead and the Phillies wrapped up a first-round bye with an 11-1 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
Assured one of the top two seeds in the NL, the East champion Phillies (93-65) will open the postseason at home Oct. 4 in a best-of-five Division Series.
Schwarber hit Nos. 55 and 56 to pull within two of Seattle’s Cal Raleigh for the major league lead. Schwarber also doubled and singled. Philadelphia hit seven homers against...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Otto Lopez got three hits, drove in a run and scored another as the Miami Marlins won their sixth game in a row, 4-2 over the Texas Rangers on Sunday in a matchup of teams unlikely to make the playoffs but still mathematically alive with six games left.
Wyatt Langford hit his 22nd homer for Texas (79-77), whose seven-game losing streak is its longest this season. The Rangers were 5 1/2 games behind Houston for the final American League wild card before the Astros, who hold the tiebreaker over Texas, hosted AL West-leading Seattle on Sunday...
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Troy Johnston and Connor Norby hit back-to-back solo home runs with two outs in the sixth inning and the Miami Marlins beat the slumping Texas Rangers 4-3 on Saturday night.
Johnston also had an RBI single for the Marlins (75-80), who have won five consecutive games and 10 of their last 13.
Rookie Cade Gibson (4-5) pitched two innings to earn the win. Calvin Faucher’s 15th save came despite allowing a leadoff homer to Kyle Higashioka in the ninth. Faucher left runners on second and third.
The Rangers (79-76) have dropped six straight, matching their longest losing...
MIAMI (AP) — Rookie Troy Johnston homered twice, including a game-winning two-run drive in the 11th inning, and the Miami Marlins beat the Detroit Tigers 6-4 on Saturday.
Agustín Ramírez doubled and singled, while Otto López had two hits and drove in a run as the Marlins won their fourth straight.
After Wenceel Pérez’s RBI double put Detroit ahead in the top of the 11th, López started the bottom half with an infield single that advanced automatic runner Joey Wiemer. Heriberto Hernández’s RBI fielder’s choice scored Wiemer before Johnston drove a slider from Rafael Montero (1-2) over the...
