That likely ends any chance the right-hander might have had of pitching again in 2026. Bender last took the mound for the Marlins in late June but was putting together another strong campaign before being shut down due to a stress reaction in his right shin, recording one win, two saves and nine holds in 35 appearances with a 2.62 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 41:12 K:BB over 34.1 innings.

Bender has been shelved since late June due to a stress reaction in his right shin, and he's experienced at least two setbacks during his rehab program. The reliever will be re-evaluated at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida before a decision is made on his next steps, but it's possible his 2026 season is over.

Bender had been cleared to begin pitching in minor-league games but suffered a setback with his right shin during his first outing at Triple-A. After taking some time off to recover, the 31-year-old is now back to throwing bullpen sessions. He remains without an official return timeline, though a clearer picture may emerge once he resumes facing live hitters.
