Marlins reliever Anthony Bender is nearing a return after a shin injury sidelined him since late June, set to begin rehab with Triple-A, throwing 95 mph in bullpens — close to his usual velocity. This isn’t his first leg issue; last year’s similar problem kept him out weeks, and he says the discomfort built as he threw more until his shin hit its limit. A critical bullpen arm, Bender often closes or sets up the closer, delivering scoreless innings before his injury. Meanwhile, lefty Andrew Nardi faces season-ending elbow surgery after a rib injury sidelined him since April, compounded by elbow pain during rehab — another tough blow for a pitcher already battling past injuries. Manager Clayton McCullough expressed deep disappointment over Nardi’s setback, praising his effort and lamenting lost playing time.
