Per George Richards and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Marlins Park did sustain damage to "about six percent of the ballpark’s roof membrane" that will be replaced as soon as the team's season ends.

The Marlins are currently playing a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park against the Philadelphia Phillies. They have been on the road since last Thursday, playing a series against the Atlanta Braves over the weekend.
After this weekend's series against the Brewers, the Marlins have six more home games remaining this season. They host the New York Mets from Sept. 18-20 and the Braves to end the year from Sept. 28-Oct. 1.
