Anthony Bender has clinched a Marlins Opening Day roster spot, per team updates, starting in setup behind closers Calvin Faucher and Jesus Tinoco this spring. (Christina De Nicola)

Fantasy Impact:

Bender’s 8:2 K:BB in 7.2 spring innings builds on his 2024 (4.08 ERA, 15 holds, 59:18 K:BB in 53 innings), securing a Marlins setup role, with Faucher and Tinoco ahead for saves. He could close later. Fantasy managers in deep leagues or hold formats should roster him, eyeing his strikeout potential and a save shot if Miami’s ninth falters.
