Rob Brantly (finger) is not in the Marlins' lineup Sunday. Brantly suffered a cut on the index finger of his throwing hand last week, and although he returned to action for a few games, the finger is still giving him trouble. Miguel Olivo is catching on Sunday.

Rob Brantly was hitless in four at-bats in his return to the lineup Thursday. Brantly missed Wednesday's game due to a cut on the index finger of his throwing hand, but he's fine. The young backstop is hitting just .227/.298/.320 with no home runs this season.

Rob Brantly went 3-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in the Marlins' win over the Twins on Tuesday. Brantly and Miguel Olivo have been sharing time at catcher for the Marlins this year, but Brantly made a strong case for more playing time on Tuesday. Brantly doubled twice off Twins starter Mike Pelfrey and now has six doubles on the season. The 23-year-old is the closest thing the Marlins have to a "catcher of the future" at this point.

Rob Brantly went 3-for-4 with three RBI against the Cardinals on Sunday. Brantly, a product of the Anibal Sanchez trade with the Tigers last summer, will be the Marlins' starting catcher this year. He impressed offensively in his audition last season, hitting .290/.372/.460 in 100 at-bats, but we're not expecting him to have much fantasy value. Even if he hits for average, the power numbers won't be very good.

Rob Brantly had a go-ahead RBI double in a 3-2 win over the Mets on Monday. Brantly punched one just inside the left field line in the bottom of the eighth inning to put the Marlins ahead. It was his only hit of the night. The 23-year-old backstop is hitting .295/.380/.442 with two homers, eight doubles, seven RBI and an .822 OPS through his first 30 games in the big leagues. He also has an impressive 13/15 K/BB ratio. He's likely to get the bulk of the playing time behind the plate next year, regardless of whether the Marlins are able to find a taker for John Buck.

Rob Brantly went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Monday's loss to the Braves. It's the first three-hit game of the youngster's career. Brantly now has an eight-game hitting streak going and is batting a cool .343 with two homers over his first 79 big league plate appearances. You could do worse than him as your second catcher in mixed leagues.

Rob Brantly went hitless in three at-bats in his Major League debut on Tuesday as the Marlins were shutout by Kyle Kendrick and the Phillies. Brantly was swinging an impressive .365/.389/.558 in 14 games for the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate since coming over in the trade that sent Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante to the Tigers. He has strong offensive upside and is worthy of a look in two-catcher formats should he receive regular playing time with the Fish.

Rob Brantly is getting his first major league start on Tuesday night against the Phillies. The 23-year-old prospect was promoted on Sunday evening and is now ready for action after spending a day adjusting to big league life. Brantly had a .365/.389/.558 batting line in 14 games for the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate and deserves consideration in NL-only fantasy leagues.
