Inside the 2026 Marlins active roster
Since debuting as an expansion franchise in 1993, the Marlins have experienced some wild highs, securing two World Series titles in their relatively short history. But with that last championship now more than two decades in the rearview mirror, South Florida fans are understandably eager for another deep October run.
Enter the 2026 Miami Marlins roster. Under the leadership of manager Clayton McCullough, the front office has assembled a hungry squad looking to make serious waves in the highly competitive National League East.
I created this guide to help you figure out who’s stepping up to the plate this season. Below, I’ve outlined the Marlins’ active 26-man squad and the core coaching personnel.

Top Marlins players to watch
The Marlins rotation is anchored by veteran ace Sandy Alcántara, whose elite stamina and heavy sinker make him a true workhorse on the mound. He’s perfectly complemented by young right-hander Eury Pérez, who brings upper-90s velocity and dominant secondary pitches to the staff.
Offensively, the lineup relies heavily on an exciting youth movement. That includes the elite bat-to-ball skills of switch-hitting infielder Xavier Edwards, who serves as the energetic sparkplug near the top of the batting order.
