Jun 16 2025Garrett (elbow) played catch Monday for the first time since having UCL revision surgery with an internal brace on his left elbow in December of 2024, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first step in a long throwing progression for the southpaw. Garrett will be sidelined for the entire 2025 season but could be ready in time for Opening Day next year if all goes well.
Feb 12 2025The Marlins placed Garrett (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Cal Quantrill, who signed a one-year contract with the Marlins in a corresponding move. Garrett underwent UCL revision surgery with an internal brace on his left elbow in December and will be sidelined for the entire 2025 season.
Jan 9 2025The Marlins and Garrett (elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett avoids an arbitration hearing in his first year of eligibility. He did not, however, avoid elbow surgery, as he underwent a UCL revision surgery with an internal brace last month that will sideline him for the entirety of the 2025 season.
Jan 8 2025Garrett will miss the 2025 season after undergoing UCL revision surgery with an internal brace in December, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett made just seven starts for the Marlins during the 2025 season due to forearm and elbow problems and his UCL finally gave out. The left-hander had Tommy John surgery previously, so while the December operation was less invasive, it will still be a very lengthy rehab. If all goes well, it's possible Garrett is ready for the start of the 2026 season.
Oct 11 2024Garrett was diagnosed with a left elbow impingement last week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett missed multiple months of action with a strained left forearm before suffering a setback with his elbow during a bullpen session in September. He is currently going through a throwing progression at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida, and the setback isn't considered something that will jeopardize his availability for the start of spring training.
Sep 21 2024Manager Skip Schumaker said Saturday that Garrett experienced discomfort in his elbow during his latest bullpen session, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has been on the injured list since June with a strained left forearm and recently made his third rehab appearance at Triple-A Jacksonville. However, his latest elbow setback may put a dent in his plans to return to Miami before the end of the season. The Marlins will take the lefty in for an MRI, the results of which will help determine whether he can pitch again in 2024.
Sep 17 2024Garrett (forearm) tossed three scoreless innings in his rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, striking out three batters while scattering three hits and two walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett built up to 59 pitches (33 strikes) in the second start of his rehab assignment, after he previously tossed three scoreless innings for Single-A Jupiter on Sept. 5. Per MLB.com, Garrett is scheduled to make another rehab start Tuesday, and assuming he gets stretched out to around five innings and 80 pitches and experiences no physical setbacks, he could be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list thereafter. Garrett has been on the shelf since June 23 with a left forearm flexor strain.
Sep 4 2024Garrett (forearm) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander progressed to throwing live batting practice over the weekend and has been deemed ready for game action after a bullpen session Tuesday. Garrett is expected to throw about three innings and/or 50 pitches Thursday in the first of what's likely to be a couple rehab starts. He's been on the shelf since mid-June due to a forearm strain.
Sep 3 2024Garrett (forearm) threw a two innings of live batting practice Saturday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw was expected to toss around 35 pitches in the workout Saturday, though the Marlins haven't disclosed how Garrett came out of the throwing session. Garrett looks as though he'll have a chance to pitch again for the Marlins in 2024, but he may not have enough time to get fully stretched back out for a starting role. Whether he returns as a starter or reliever, Garrett will likely need to complete at least one or two minor-league rehab appearances before being activated from the 60-day injured list.
Aug 23 2024Garrett (forearm) threw a 25-pitch bullpen Friday and is scheduled to complete another bullpen session Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Friday's bullpen was Garrett's second since being placed on the injured list June 23 due to a left forearm flexor strain. He'll likely have to face hitters and be sent out on a rehab assignment before being activated from the 60-day injured list.
Jul 30 2024The Marlins transferred Garrett (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett began a throwing program last week -- roughly a month after a forearm flexor strain sent him to the injured list. He still figures to be sidelined for another few weeks, so the Marlins will move him to the 60-day IL and give his 40-man spot to Jesus Tinoco, who was claimed off waivers from the Cubs on Tuesday.
Jul 23 2024Garrett (forearm) has began playing catch, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett will finally resume a throwing program after being placed on the injured list June 23 with a strained left forearm. The 26-year-old was deemed asymptomatic last week but spent several days focusing on strengthening his forearm before starting to throw. Garrett still has several checkpoints to complete before being activated and shouldn't be expected back for several weeks.
Jul 18 2024Garrett is considered asymptomatic while he continues to rehab his strained left forearm at the Marlins' facility in Jupiter, Fla., MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett -- who was placed on the injured list June 23 -- is focused on strengthening his forearm for now before he kicks off a throwing program. The southpaw still looks to be multiple weeks away from a return, and given their place in the standings, the 33-63 Marlins are in no hurry to bring Garrett back.
Jun 23 2024The Marlins placed Garrett on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left forearm flexor strain. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins announced Saturday that Garrett wouldn't start as scheduled Sunday against the Mariners after he reported soreness in his left elbow. After further examination, the team has uncovered a strain in his left forearm, which will cause him to miss a few extra turns through the rotation. Kyle Tyler was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move to start Sunday's contest.
Jun 22 2024Garrett was scratched from his scheduled start Sunday due to left elbow discomfort, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett reported having problems in his elbow following a bullpen session Friday, so the Marlins will play it safe and hold him out of Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old southpaw will undergo further testing, and the results will help determine if he needs to spend some time on the injured list. Miami has not yet named a replacement starter for Sunday.
Jun 17 2024Garrett struck out six and allowed one run on five hits and no walks over six innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett served up a solo homer to Mike Siani in the fifth that turned out to be his only mistake in an otherwise stellar showing. The left-hander didn't issue a walk in his six innings of work, making it the fourth time in his seven starts this season that he didn't allow a free pass. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent this season, as he has allowed 22 runs in four of his starts but has given up just two runs in his other three appearances.
Jun 12 2024Garrett (2-2) took the loss against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits and no walks while striking out four batters over 4.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was tagged by Harrison Bader for a two-run homer in the first inning, and he gave up three more runs in the second. The left-hander settled down a bit from there, but he was pulled with two outs in the fifth inning after serving up a solo shot to Starling Marte. It was the second straight start during which Garrett was unable to complete five frames -- he went just 2.2 innings versus Tampa Bay in his previous appearance. Garrett was great in back-to-back starts May 24 and 29, allowing just one run over 14 frames. However, he's given up at least four earned runs in each of his other four outings and has a poor 6.10 ERA overall this season.
Jun 5 2024Garrett (2-1) took the loss Wednesday against Tampa Bay, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk across 2.2 innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett seemed to have turned a corner after yielding 11 runs in his first two starts of 2024 by allowing just one run over 14.0 innings in his ensuing pair of starts. However, he couldn't keep his recent form, surrendering three doubles and failing to make it through three innings for the first time this year. Through the ups and downs, Garrett owns a 5.81 ERA and a 24:4 K:BB over 26.1 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Mets on Tuesday.
May 29 2024Garrett (2-0) earned the win Wednesday over the Padres, allowing a run on six hits over five innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A Ha-Seong Kim homer in the third inning was the lone damage against Garrett as the left-hander earned a second straight win -- he's allowed just one run on nine hits over 14 innings in that span after allowing 11 runs in his first two outings this season. Garrett's ERA is down to 4.56 with a 1.06 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB through his first 23.2 innings this year. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Rays in his next start.
May 24 2024Garrett (1-0) allowed four hits and struck out six while walking none, tossing a complete-game shutout to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett had the best start of his career, throwing just 95 pitches (71 strikes) over his nine innings Friday. He began the year on the injured list with a shoulder injury and allowed 11 runs over 9.2 innings over his first two starts before this gem. Garrett has a 5.30 ERA on the year, but his 1.02 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB across 18.2 innings paint a much more encouraging picture. The 2016 first-rounder is projected for a road start versus the Padres his next time out.
May 18 2024Garrett took a no-decision Saturday against the Mets, getting charged with six runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett looked out of sorts from the jump, hitting two batters with pitches while allowing three hits and two runs in the first inning. He did start to settle in a bit after that, but Garrett was pulled with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth and then watched all three inherited runners cross the plate. It's been two straight duds from Garrett since he's come off the injured list. Better days are surely ahead, but it will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust him next week in Arizona.
May 12 2024Garrett pitched 5.1 innings, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight batters in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett got off to a slow start in his season debut, giving up three runs in the top of the first inning on a homer by Nick Castellanos. He then tossed four scoreless frames before two more runs came around to score while he secured just one out in the top of the sixth frame. The left-hander did impress in the strikeout department though, punching out at least eight batters for the first time since June 22 of the 2023 campaign versus the Pirates. Garrett will look to produce a more well-rounded performance in his next start, which is tentatively set for Saturday at home versus the Mets.
May 8 2024The Marlins reinstated Garrett (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett isn't expected to make his season debut for the big club until Sunday versus Philadelphia, but he'll rejoin the Marlins a few days early after fellow starter Edward Cabrera (shoulder) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old southpaw opened the season on the shelf due to a left shoulder impingement and made two rehab starts before a brief shutdown period while he contended with a dead-arm phase. Garrett has bounced back well since resuming his rehab assignment April 26, compiling a 1.32 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings across three outings between Triple-A Jacksonville and the Marlins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. Garrett built up to 82 pitches in his latest rehab outing Monday and isn't expected to face any major workload restrictions when he debuts this weekend.
May 6 2024Garrett (shoulder) struck out 13 batters and allowed one hit and one walk over 5.2 scoreless innings in his rehab start Monday for the Marlins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he was facing off against a lineup consisting mostly of teenage hitters, Garrett was dominant nonetheless in what was likely his fifth and final minor-league rehab start. Garrett, who has been on the 15-day injured list all season while recovering from a left shoulder impingement, will likely be activated this weekend to start Saturday or Sunday versus the Phillies for what will be his 2024 debut with the Marlins.
May 2 2024Garrett (shoulder) allowed one hit and three walks while striking out three over five scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett got his pitch count up to 61 and averaged 90.7 miles per hour with his sinker, which is right in line with his normal velocity. Wednesday's outing should be his final tune-up before he returns from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut with the Marlins. Garrett, who has been sidelined with a left shoulder impingement and more recently went through a "dead arm" phase, tentatively lines up to start Monday versus the Dodgers on the road.
Apr 30 2024Garrett (shoulder) will make a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Jacksonville before potentially returning from the 15-day injured list, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.comreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has spent all season on the shelf while recovering from a left shoulder impingement, and while he hasn't experienced any setbacks in his recovery from that injury, he did experience a case of "dead arm" following an April 15 bullpen session. The issue prompted the Marlins to temporarily pause Garrett's rehab assignment before he returned to action last Friday for Triple-A Jacksonville and allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out four over three innings. Garrett tossed 59 pitches in that outing, so the Marlins will likely want him to get stretched out to around 75 pitches before inserting him into the big-league rotation.
Apr 23 2024Garrett (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch side session Tuesday and is scheduled to pick up his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander is ready to resume his rehab assignment after a bout of dead arm slowed the progress in his return from a pinched nerve in his left shoulder. Garrett threw 86 pitches in his previous rehab outing April 12 and is scheduled to throw about 60 pitches or four innings Friday. The 26-year-old seems likely to require an additional rehab start after Friday before making his season debut for Miami.
Apr 22 2024Garrett (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett is ramping back up again after he was briefly shut down following his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Jacksonville on April 12 due to a bout with dead arm. The left-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day with a left shoulder impingement, but he looks to have moved past that injury and will simply need to build up his pitch count before he's deemed ready to make his 2024 debut for the Marlins. He'll likely need to complete at least one more minor-league rehab start prior to being activated from the IL, though it's unclear when he'll be ready to resume game action.
Apr 20 2024Garrett (shoulder) played catch from 90 feet Friday, Isaac Azout of SBNation.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If he has no issues with his arm following the throwing session, Garrett will likely get a bullpen session in before Miami considers a date for his 2024 debut. The 26-year-old left-hander, who missed most of spring training with a sore shoulder, is now dealing with a dead arm phase after tossing 86 pitches for Triple-A Jacksonville last Friday in what appeared to be his final rehab start. There's still a chance he could join the Marlins' rotation before the end of the month.
Apr 15 2024Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Monday that Garrett (shoulder) experienced a "dead arm" after his last bullpen session, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It is not related to the left shoulder injury which has kept Garrett out all season, but it nonetheless could prevent the left-hander from making his season debut this week. The southpaw threw 86 pitches in his last rehab start with Triple-A Jacksonville and his return to the Marlins' rotation appeared imminent. Garrett will undergo testing on his arm just to be safe.
Apr 8 2024Garrett (shoulder) is scheduled to make a second rehab start Friday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old lefty threw 66 pitchers over 4.1 frames during Sunday's rehab outing, and he's expected to build up to around 80 pitches Friday. Assuming that goes well, Garrett could then be cleared to join the Marlins' starting rotation next week.
Apr 4 2024Garrett (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was scheduled for a three-inning simulated game earlier this week, which evidently must have gone off without a hitch. He'll next throw four innings with Jacksonville and seems likely to require at least one additional rehab start before rejoining the Miami rotation. The left-hander has been working his way back from a left shoulder impingement.
Apr 1 2024Garrett (shoulder) will throw a three-inning and/or 50-pitch simulated game at extended spring training Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's not clear what the next step will be after that, but there would seem to be a chance Garrett would be ready to begin a rehab assignment. The left-hander has dealt with a left shoulder impingement since early on in spring training. He should rejoin the Marlins' rotation before the end of April.
Mar 29 2024Garrett (shoulder) threw two innings in a game at the Marlins' spring training complex Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will next join the team in Miami for a bullpen session Sunday. Garrett is working his way back from a left shoulder impingement and should be ready for his season debut around mid-April, although he still has some hoops to jump through for that to come to fruition.
Mar 28 2024The Marlins placed Garrett (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander was diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement early in camp and is now officially on the IL, as expected. Garrett is scheduled to pitch in a rehab game Thursday and should continue ramping up his workload over the next couple weeks. He could make his season debut in mid-April, assuming he's able to avoid any setbacks.
Mar 24 2024Garrett (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday and pitch in a game Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander recently progressed to throwing live batting practice and will now pitch in an exhibition contest. Garrett will begin the season on the 15-day injured list, but he appears on track to join Miami's rotation around mid-April.
Mar 18 2024Garrett (shoulder) threw live batting practice Sunday to Jazz Chisholm and Jake Burger and showed no issues, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw sat 90-92 miles per hour with his fastball and gave Chisholm fits with his slider and changeup. Garrett won't be ready for Opening Day, but the shoulder soreness he reported at the beginning of camp appears to be gone, and he can begin to ramp up in earnest. He's expected to miss the first few weeks of the regular season, dealing another blow to a Miami rotation that will be without Sandy Alcantara (elbow) throughout 2024 and could also be down Edward Cabrera (shoulder) and Eury Perez (elbow/finger) to kick off the campaign.
Mar 15 2024Garrett (shoulder) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander is poised to begin the season on the injured list due to left shoulder soreness, but he's ramping up his throwing program and will progress to facing live batters this weekend. It's possible Garrett will be ready to join the Marlins sometime in mid-April.
Mar 13 2024Garrett (shoulder) is expected to throw a live batting practice session as soon as this weekend, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett has been slowed since the beginning of camp with left shoulder soreness, but he threw an extended bullpen session Wednesday and is days away from live BP. It would be the first time he's faced hitters this spring. Garrett will begin the season on the injured list and it's unclear how much time he might miss, but he's trending in the right direction.
Mar 5 2024Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Tuesday that Garrett (shoulder) will likely begin the season on the injured list, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Schumaker noted that Garrett "feels great" as he works his way back from some early-camp left shoulder soreness, but the team does not think it's a good idea to push him to be ready in time for Opening Day. The southpaw has been throwing bullpen sessions and a live batting practice session appears imminent. With Garrett expected to miss at least a start or two, it could clear a path for A.J. Puk in Miami's rotation.
Mar 2 2024Garrett (shoulder) is building up to his first live batting practice session of the spring, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins are being cautious with the 26-year-old southpaw, but Garrett has been throwing bullpens and making good progress after he reported some soreness in his shoulder when he arrived in camp. He'll need to start ramping up in earnest fairly soon if he's going to be ready to handle a spot in the Opening Day rotation, however. If Garrett has a delayed start to the 2024 campaign, it would open up a rotation spot for A.J. Puk, Ryan Weathers or top prospect Max Meyer.
Feb 24 2024Garrett (shoulder) threw his first bullpen session of the spring Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins are still taking things slow when it comes to Garrett's throwing program, but manager Skip Schumaker was encouraged by Garrett's performance Friday, calling it "one of the better bullpens he's thrown." It's unclear how long it will be before Garrett is able to pitch in a Grapefruit League game, but he should be ready to go by Opening Day.
Feb 16 2024Garrett is being brought along slowly in Marlins camp due to soreness in his left shoulder, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was still allowed to throw each of the last two days, so there doesn't appear to be any major concern on the team's part. The southpaw collected a 3.66 ERA and 156:29 K:BB across 159.2 innings for Miami last season, making a career-high 30 starts (31 total appearances).
Oct 1 2023Garrett will start Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Phillies on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett had a breakout season and logged a 2.10 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 25.2 innings over his final five starts. Jesus Luzardo will get the ball in Game 1.
Sep 28 2023Garrett (9-7) took the loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, giving up four runs on three hits and two walks over four innings as the Marlins were routed 11-2. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Originally schedule to pitch Tuesday, the extra day of rest just seemed to throw Garrett off as he got tagged for more than three runs for the first time since July 21, on the backs of two-run homers by Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. The southpaw got lifted after 77 pitches (46 strikes), perhaps with the intention of being available in some capacity for the final game of the season Oct. 1 should a wild-card spot still be on the line. Heading into Thursday, the Marlins are tied with the Cubs for the final playoff berth in the NL. Since the beginning of August, Garrett has a 2.85 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB through 53.2 innings and has been Miami's most consistent pitcher.
Sep 26 2023Garrett won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Mets after the game was postponed due to poor field conditions. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The playing surface at Citi Field was unable to recover from a weekend of rain, so the Mets and Marlins will be forced to play a doubleheader Wednesday. Garrett holds a dominant 0.57 ERA since the start of September and will presumably start one of Wednesday's games.
Sep 19 2023Garrett did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run (zero earned) on five hits over six innings against the Mets. He struck out seven without issuing any walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett looked laser-focused Tuesday, surrendering just one unearned run and retiring the final 10 batters he faced; however, the 26-year-old settled for a no-decision as Miami's bullpen was unable to retain the lead. Garrett has gone six innings and thrown exactly 91 pitches in back-to-back outings, amassing an impressive 14:2 K:BB without allowing any earned runs during that stretch. He currently lines up for a road rematch with the Mets next week.
Sep 13 2023Garrett (9-6) allowed four hits and two walks while striking out seven over six shutout innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett lasted just 3.2 innings in his previous start, a loss to the Dodgers. Wednesday's effort was his fifth quality start in his last seven outings, though he's posted a pedestrian 4-3 record in that span. The 26-year-old southpaw is at a 3.67 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 147:27 K:BB through 149.2 innings over 29 outings (28 starts) this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Mets.
Sep 8 2023Garrett (8-6) took the loss Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett tied his season high in walks and contended with heavy traffic, resulting in his shortest outing since July 21 when he lasted just three innings against Colorado. Despite struggling with his command Thursday, the 26-year-old was able to limit the damage, marking the southpaw's eighth consecutive outing in which he has limited the opposition to three or fewer runs. During this stretch, Garrett has compiled a 3-3 record while posting a 2.68 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 43.2 innings. He currently lines up to take the mound in Milwaukee next time out.
Aug 31 2023Garrett (8-5) earned the win over Washington on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out one batter over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett induced only one swinging strike and notched just one punchout in the outing, but he didn't need his strikeout stuff to pick up the victory. The southpaw recorded his third straight quality start and has now given up three or fewer earned runs in seven straight outings. During that span, he's posted a 3-2 record along with a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 ERA and 25:6 K:BB over 40 frames.
Aug 25 2023Garrett (7-5) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks over six innings against the Nationals. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The big blow came in the sixth inning when Carter Kieboom tagged Garrett with a two-run shot to extend the Nationals' lead. Garrett has just 18 strikeouts in 28 innings so far this month after he fanned 117 in 106 frames through the end of July. The southpaw has a 3.54 ERA this month, though, and his control continues to be immaculate, as he hasn't walked more than two in a start since late May.
Aug 19 2023Garrett (7-4) allowed three runs on five hits and struck out six without walking a batter over six innings, taking the loss in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett pitched well enough for a quality start, but a pair of solo home runs to Mookie Betts ended up being the difference. Garrett has given up nine runs (eight earned) across 28 innings over his last five starts, though he hasn't struck out more than six in any start in that span. For the season, he's maintained a 3.94 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 132:21 K:BB through 128 innings. He's lined up for a favorable home start versus the Nationals his next time out.
Aug 14 2023Garrett (7-3) earned the win Monday, allowing four hits and two walks over five scoreless innings against the Astros. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett's now 2-0 with a 2.05 ERA over his last four starts (22 innings) after shutting out a powerful Astros lineup over five innings Monday. The 26-year-old left-hander's ERA is down to 3.91 with a 1.19 WHIP and 126:21 K:BB across 23 starts (122 innings) this season. Garrett's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Dodgers in his next outing.
Aug 8 2023Garrett (6-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings in a 3-2 victory over the Reds. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett's now allowed just five runs over his last three outings (17 innings) after struggling to a 7.85 ERA in his prior four outings. His ERA is down to 4.08 with a 1.19 WHIP and an impressive 125:19 K:BB across 22 starts (117 innings) this season. The 26-year-old Garrett will look to keep the momentum going in his next outing, currently slated for next week against the Astros.
Aug 3 2023Garrett came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-innings win over the Phillies, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over five-plus innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was briefly on the hook for the loss, getting lifted after he walked Bryson Stott to lead off the sixth inning and watching him come around to score a go-ahead run for the Phillies, but the two bullpens made sure neither starter was involved in the decision. Garrett has completed six innings just once in his last seven seven starts, posting a 5.24 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 32:5 K:BB through 34.1 innings over that stretch, and fatigue could be catching up to the 25-year-old southpaw in his first full season in a big-league rotation. He'll try to get on track in his next outing, likely to come early next week in Cincinnati.
Jul 29 2023Garrett did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one unearned run on five hits and one walk over six innings in a 6-5 victory over the Tigers. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett didn't allow an earned run versus the Tigers after surrendering 16 over his previous four starts. The long ball had been the left-hander's primary issue. He'd given up six home runs over five contests coming into Friday's matchup, including three last time out versus Colorado. Garrett has shown flashes of being an elite big-league pitcher, but he struggles to put everything together on a consistent basis. Regardless. He's already set a career high with 111 strikeouts this year and will continue to add to that total as long as he stays healthy.
Jul 21 2023Garrett (5-3) surrendered six earned runs on seven hits and no walks over three innings Friday in a loss to the Rockies. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett served up homers in each frame -- to C.J. Cron in the first, Jurickson Profar in the second and Elias Diaz in the third -- and he also surrendered a double to Alan Trejo. Pulled from the game before the top of the fourth, it matched Garrett's shortest start of the season. The 25-year-old southpaw will carry a 4.32 ERA and 1.19 WHIP into his next outing at home against the Tigers.
Jul 16 2023Garrett didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw got the hook after 81 pitches (53 strikes) with one runner on base and the Marlins ahead 5-4, ensuring Garrett wouldn't end up in the loss column. The 25-year-old remarkably hasn't been on the losing end of a decision since May 8, going 4-0 in 12 starts over that stretch with a 2.89 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 78:10 K:BB through 65.1 innings. He next lines up for a home outing next weekend against the Rockies.
Jul 8 2023Garrett (5-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits over five innings against the Phillies. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett picked up another victory Saturday, marking his 11th straight start without taking a loss, a streak that dates back to May 8. All of the damage against Garrett came early, surrendering a solo homer to Trea Turner in the first, then giving up two more runs in the second inning. Over his last six appearances (34 innings), Garrett holds a 2.38 ERA and an elite 41:3 K:BB.
Jul 3 2023Garrett allowed three runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings in Monday's win over St. Louis. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cardinals chipped away at Garrett throughout the contest, scoring one run in each of the second, third and sixth innings. It was his first time allowing more than one earned run since June 5, but he's given up three or fewer runs in nine of his last 10 starts. The 25-year-old lefty now owns a 3.61 ERA with an impressive 98:15 K:BB through 87.1 frames. Garrett's next start is projected to be at home this weekend against the Phillies.
Jun 29 2023Garrett (4-2) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over five innings in a 6-2 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old southpaw made a relatively early exit due to a rain delay despite his stingy performance, throwing 66 pitches (43 strikes) and leaving with the score tied 1-1, but the Marlins erupted for three runs in the top of the sixth when play resumed while Garrett was still the pitcher of record. He hasn't been tagged with a loss since May 8, going 3-0 over his last nine starts with a 1.98 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and dazzling 64:9 K:BB through 50 innings, Garrett will look to keep rolling in his next outing, likely to come at home early next week against the Cardinals.
Jun 22 2023Garrett allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out 13 batters over seven innings in a no-decision against Pittsburgh on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett hit the ground running in the contest, striking out five of the first six batters he faced. The southpaw ended with a career-high 13 strikeouts, notching his first double-digit punchout performance of the season. Garrett has been one of the best pitchers in the league for over a month, posting a 2.00 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 56:8 K:BB over his past 45 innings across eight starts. While his ERA on the campaign is just decent at 3.64, it's largely inflated by a 4.1-inning, 11-run shelling against Atlanta on May 3. Take away that performance, and Garrett's season ERA sits at a much more tantalizing 2.49.
Jun 18 2023Garrett (3-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw continues to give the Marlins some stability in their rotation. Garrett has given up two runs or less in six of his last seven starts, posting a 2.13 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and dazzling 49:8 K:BB through 38 innings over that stretch. While Saturday's quality start was just his second of the season, that's largely due to workload management, as the 90 pitches he tossed against Washington were a season high. Garrett will look to keep rolling in his next outing, likely to come at home next week against the Pirates.
Jun 12 2023Garrett did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three hits and one walk over 5.1 scoreless innings in a 6-5 victory over the White Sox. He struck out nine. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was locked in Sunday, setting a season high in strikeouts with nine while blanking the White Sox across 5.1 innings. After opening up May with 15 runs allowed across his first two starts (9.2 innings), Garrett has been fantastic over his last six appearances (32.0 innings), earning a 2.25 ERA with a 0.8 HR/9 and a 41:7 K:BB. He will look to build on his impressive stretch of starts in his next appearance, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Nationals in Washington.
Jun 5 2023Garrett (2-2) earned the win Monday, allowing four runs on six hits over 5 innings against Kansas City. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett got off to an inauspicious start, allowing four runs over his first two innings. However, he'd manage to hold the Royals at bay while the Marlins rallied to overcome a 4-0 deficit and pick up the win. The 25-year-old Garrett had been pitching well coming into Monday's outing, holding opponents to two runs or fewer in his last four starts. Garrett sports a 4.47 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 60:12 K:BB over 12 starts (58.1 innings) this season.
May 21 2023Garrett didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Giants, allowing only one hit and one walk over 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw exited a 0-0 tie after throwing 76 pitches and generating an impressive 29 called or swinging strikes. Garrett's eight strikeouts tied his season high, set in his previous outing, while the quality start was his first of 2023. Toss out his 11-run disaster against Atlanta at the beginning of May, and Garrett sports a 2.56 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 41:6 K:BB through 38.2 innings while serving up only two homers. He could be headed for another ratio-spoiling start, however, as he lines up to take the mound next week in Coors Field.
May 14 2023Garrett did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk across five innings during a 3-1 win over the Reds. He struck out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett posted his third start of the campaign with one or fewer runs across at least five innings and recorded a season-high eight strikeouts in the process. The left-hander's 5.40 ERA remains inflated due to an 11-run outing versus Atlanta, but his 36:7 K:BB over 36.2 innings gives him solid upside moving forward. Garrett's next start is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend set versus San Francisco.
May 9 2023Garrett (1-2) took the loss against Arizona on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett gave up 11 runs over 4.1 frames against Atlanta in his previous start, so just about anything he could have done Monday would have been an improvement. The left-hander managed to give Miami some length with 5.1 innings, and he didn't give up a run until the fourth, but a Christian Walker homer in the sixth, followed by two straight singles, was enough to end his night and set him on to his second straight defeat. Garrett has a 5.97 ERA on the campaign, though it would be a much more palatable 3.29 if not for the blow-up in his previous outing.
May 4 2023Garrett (1-1) took the loss in Wednesday's 14-6 rout at the hands of Atlanta, surrendering 11 runs on 14 hits -- including four home runs -- and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There's no silver lining here for Garrett. Most of the damage came in a seven-run second inning by Atlanta that saw the southpaw serve up three homers, before a Ronald Acuna blast in the fourth finally chased Garrett from the game. His ERA jumped from 2.45 to a bloated 5.81 after this effort, but it's possible to view this performance as an aberration, as the 25-year-old had been tagged for only one long ball over his first five appearances and 22 innings this season. Garrett will look to put this disaster behind him when he next takes the mound, which is likely to come early next week in Arizona.
Apr 27 2023Garrett did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing no runs on one hit over three innings against the Braves. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett allowed just one hit in three innings against the Braves before he was replaced following a rain delay. The left-handed Garrett has been solid early in the season -- he's 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB. However, he's yet to make it out of the fifth inning through four starts this year. Garrett should remain in the Marlins rotation while Trevor Rogers (biceps) and Johnny Cueto (biceps) are sidelined.
Apr 4 2023Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett would seem to be a potential fill-in starter for Johnny Cueto, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday after aggravating a lingering biceps injury in his Marlins debut Monday against the Twins. There should be an update soon to the rotation schedule in Miami. Cueto had been lined up to make his next start Sunday at the Mets.
Apr 3 2023Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett probably wasn't going to be available for another day or two after throwing three innings in relief Saturday, so the Marlins are replacing him with a fresh arm. He'll likely be stretched back out as a starter with Jacksonville.
Mar 25 2023Garrett is expected to break camp in the big leagues, but he'll be a long reliever rather than a sixth starter if he fails to win a rotation spot over Edward Cabrera, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett and Cabrera have been in a battle all spring, and at one point it seemed as though they could both emerge victorious, with the Marlins seemingly open to a six-man rotation. The decision has been made to go the traditional five-man route instead, but the loser of the battle should still remain on the roster, as injuries have left Miami with just 13 healthy pitchers in big-league camp. Garrett's 8.25 ERA this spring is far worse than Cabrera's 1.86 mark, though Garrett's 12:5 K:BB is more impressive than Cabrera's seven strikeouts and four walks.
Mar 18 2023Garrett has a minor-league option remaining and appears to be behind Edward Cabrera in the battle for the Marlins' fifth starter job, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cabrera also has better numbers this spring, although neither pitcher has dominated -- Garrett has a 7:3 K:BB through 9.1 innings to Cabrera's 4:2 K:BB in five spring frames. Garrett posted a 3.58 ERA and 90:24 K:BB through 88 innings in 17 big-league starts last season, and even if he begins 2023 at Triple-A Jacksonville, he could see significant action for Miami over the course of the summer.
Mar 14 2023Garrett allowed five runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings while striking out three in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander did get stretched out to 71 pitches (44 strikes), but that was about the only positive takeaway from this outing. Garrett remains firmly in the mix for a rotation spot with the Marlins, and while his spring ERA has now ballooned to 8.68, his 7:3 K:BB through 9.1 innings shows there's little cause for alarm. However, this performance could put Garrett behind his main competition for the fifth starter role, Edward Cabrera (1.80 ERA, 4:2 K:BB through five spring innings.)
Feb 26 2023Garrett gave up two runs on three hits over two innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old lefty breezed through the first inning before running into trouble in the second, highlighted by a Pete Alonso homer. Garrett is battling with Edward Cabrera for the fifth starter role with the Marlins to begin the season after having a bit of a breakout in 2022 with a 3.58 ERA, 24.1 percent strikeout rate and 6.4 percent walk rate over 88 big-league innings.
Feb 21 2023Garrett will start the Marlins' Grapefruit League opener Saturday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett might have to put on a show this spring in order to claim the final spot in Miami's season-opening starting rotation. Edward Cabrera is thought to be his primary competition for that job. There's also a chance the Marlins will roll with a six-man group of starters in the early going, though that assumes good health on all fronts coming out of camp.
Feb 18 2023Garrett could be fighting with Edward Cabrera for the final spot in the Marlins' Opening Day rotation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The offseason addition of Johnny Cueto could push a younger pitcher to Triple-A Jacksonville, although the team is also considering a six-man rotation. Garrett took a big step forward with his command in 2022, posting a 24.1 percent strikeout rate and 6.4 percent walk rate over 17 starts and 88 innings, and the 25-year-old southpaw could be poised for a breakout if he gets a chance to be a regular part of the Marlins' rotation.
Oct 4 2022Garrett (3-7) was tagged with the loss after he pitched 4.2 innings, surrendering two runs on six hits and five walks while striking out seven Tuesday versus Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett struggled to keep Atlanta off the basepaths, allowing 11 to reach base in the contest. He gave up one run in the second inning before William Contreras notched an RBI single in the top of the fifth, ending the left-hander's day with two outs in the frame. Garrett allowed two or fewer runs for the fifth consecutive start, finishing the season with a 3.58 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 90 batters over 88 innings in 17 starts.
Sep 29 2022Garrett did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits with two strikeouts over four innings against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Milwaukee tagged Garrett for four hits in the second inning, during which they scored both runs charged to Garrett on the night. While the 25-year-old had only thrown 113.2 innings across all levels this season, manager Don Mattingly pulled Garrett with only 76 pitches through four innings. The southpaw should stick around in the rotation with Trevor Rogers shut down, and if he does, he will take a 3.56 ERA into his next start, which would likely come against Atlanta next week.
Sep 24 2022Garrett (3-6) picked up the win in Friday's 5-2 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old southpaw delivered his fifth quality start of the season in impressive fashion, tossing six shutout innings after Lane Thomas led off the game with a solo shot. Garrett pounded the zone, firing 60 of 82 pitches for strikes, and this was the first time in his big-league career he worked at least six innings without issuing a free pass. It's taken him awhile to reach his potential, but the 2016 first-round pick seems to be making a place for himself in Miami's 2023 rotation plans.
Sep 23 2022Garrett will start Friday's game against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday and will step into the rotation for Trevor Rogers (lat). Garrett has a 3.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 75:19 K:BB across 73.1 innings this year and could make up to three starts, including Friday, down the stretch for Miami.
Sep 22 2022Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old was sent down last week but will likely start Friday against the Nationals after Trevor Rogers (lat) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Since Rogers will be unavailable for the remainder of the season, it seems likely that Garrett will be able to remain in the rotation down the stretch. Garrett has made 14 major-league starts this year and has posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 73.1 innings.
Sep 13 2022Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett started Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers and gave up two runs over 4.2 innings, and he won't remain with the big-league club. The 25-year-old has a 3.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 75:19 K:BB across 73.1 frames this year, so he figures to rejoin the Marlins at some point down the stretch.
Sep 12 2022Garrett (oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Monday's start against the Rangers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett made a rehab start at Triple-A Jacksonville last week and will rejoin the Marlins to start the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Rangers. Since he tossed just 46 pitches at Jacksonville on Wednesday, it's possible that he's on a pitch count during Monday's nightcap. Whether the southpaw remains in the rotation or moves to a relief role following Monday's start remains to be seen.
Sep 6 2022Garrett (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was reported in late August that Garrett's injury might cost him the rest of the season, but he has apparently made good progress and is ready to resume pitching in games. As such, he will have a chance to rejoin the big club before the campaign comes to a close.
Sep 2 2022Garrett (oblique) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Thursday and will pitch a simulated game Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was placed on the injured list in late August, and the Marlins indicated at the time that the left-hander wasn't expected to return this season. However, he's made good progress over the last two weeks and has now been cleared to face hitters. The 25-year-old will still need to increase his workload before he's in the mix to return from the injured list. In spite of Garrett's encouraging progress, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Marlins exercise caution rather than rushing him back since the team isn't in contention for a playoff spot.
Aug 20 2022Garrett will be on placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right oblique strain and isn't expected to return this season, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was a late scratch from his scheduled start Saturday against the Dodgers, and while Garrett is eligible to be activated at the end of August, the nature of the injury probably makes it unrealistic for him to get stretched out in time to rejoin the rotation before the end of the season. The 25-year-old lefty had a successful campaign, logging a 3.67 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 71 strikeouts in 68.2 innings through 13 MLB starts. Miami's one strength is starting pitching depth, but Garrett should at least get to compete for a rotation spot next spring.
Aug 14 2022Garrett yielded five hits and three walks over six scoreless innings in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was in line for the victory before Atlanta flipped the game in the ninth inning. He'd been tagged with 11 runs (10 earned) over his previous three outings since he last turned in a quality start. The 25-year-old lefty lowered his season ERA to 3.67 alongside a 71:17 K:BB through 68.2 frames. Garrett is projected to face the Dodgers on the road next weekend.
Aug 9 2022Garrett (2-6) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and zero walks over 4.2 innings against the Phillies. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: JT Realmuto and Jean Segura both tagged Garrett for solo home runs, and the Phillies racked up eight hits total over Garrett's 4.2 innings. This was the first start all season in which Garrett did not walk a batter and the first time that he struck out fewer than seven in five starts, so perhaps he was around the strike zone a bit too much. He looks to get back on track in his next scheduled start against the Braves this weekend.
Aug 3 2022Garrett (2-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Marlins fell 2-1 to the Reds, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out 11. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The eleven Ks tied the career high he set only three starts before, but a lack of run support left the 24-year-old southpaw in the loss column. Garrett has an impressive 3.03 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 44:8 K:BB through 35.2 innings over six starts since the beginning of July, but the quality of his competition over that stretch shouldn't be ignored -- five of the six outings came against the Reds, Pirates or Nationals, all of whom rank in the bottom 10 in the league in wRC+ against LHP.
Jul 28 2022Garrett (2-4) took the loss against Cincinnati on Wednesday, pitching five innings and allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out eight. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett looked to be headed for an early exit after giving up four runs in the first inning, but he surrendered only one more over the remainder of his appearance and was able to complete five frames. However, the Marlins offense was unable to provide enough runs to overcome the early deficit, handling Garrett his fourth loss of the campaign. Prior to Wednesday, the left-hander appeared to be putting everything together, allowing just five runs while posting a 25:5 K:BB over his past 25 innings across four starts.
Jul 22 2022Garrett (2-3) allowed one run on two hits and a walk over six innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The only damage against Garrett was a solo home run by Jason Delay in the third frame. His last two starts have come against the Pirates; he's combined to strike 18 batters while allowing just one run over 12 innings in those outings. The 24-year-old southpaw now owns a 3.42 ERA with a 47:11 K:BB through nine starts this season. Garrett is lined up to start in Cincinnati next week.
Jul 14 2022Garrett allowed two hits and two walks while striking out 11 across six scoreless innings Thursday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett dominated the Pirates and struck out a career-high 11 batters on the strength of 23 swinging strikes across 102 total pitches. After completing at least five innings only once in his first five starts this season, Garrett has done so in each of his last three outings. In that same three-start span, he's maintained a 1.89 ERA with an 18:4 K:BB across 19 frames.
Jul 9 2022Garrett allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings against the Mets on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All of the damage against Garrett came by way of the home run -- he served up a solo blast to Pete Alonso in the fourth inning and a two-run homer to Francisco Lindor in the sixth. The latter long ball spelled the end of Garrett's outing, but he fared fairly well overall, giving up a season-low three total hits. The southpaw has had a few poor outings so far, but he's held the opposition to three or fewer earned runs in five of his seven appearances on the campaign.
Jul 4 2022Garrett allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four across 7.1 innings Monday against the Nationals. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett pounded the zone in this one, firing 57 of his 83 pitches for strikes. He surrendered his only run in the bottom of the eighth inning on an RBI single to right field, and he was removed immediately after without a chance to snag the victory. The southpaw got knocked around for five runs in his previous outing, but he's allowed three runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Garrett has accrued a 4.25 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with a 26:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings on the year.
Jun 29 2022Garrett (1-3) gave up five earned runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five to take the loss in a 5-3 defeat to the Cardinals on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett took his third loss of the season in his sixth start since being recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville. The 24-year-old left-hander was effective through the first four innings, but then the Cardinals got to him with a four-run fifth inning to knock him out of the game at 84 pitches. Despite carrying an inflated 5.24 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP, Garrett is striking out about one batter per nine and has a chase rate in the 95th percentile. He is expected to make his next start at Washington on Monday.
Jun 23 2022Garrett allowed two runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out seven across 4.2 innings Thursday against the Rockies. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett allowed multiple hits in all but one of his five innings, but he managed to work out of danger on most occasions. He flashed interesting swing-and-miss stuff, backing his seven punchouts with 16 swinging strikes across 94 total pitches. Garrett has recorded at least five strikeouts in three of his four starts in the majors this season, and he has a 4.08 ERA across 17.2 frames.
Jun 18 2022Garrett (1-2) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks with no strikeouts across four innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett wasn't bad in this one, but he wasn't great either. He threw 44 of his 75 pitches for strikes, and the big mistake on his ledger was a two-run home run to Francisco Lindor in the third inning. With a 4.85 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB across 13 innings in three starts, Garrett's been a reasonable back-end starter for the Marlins. He's projected for a home start versus the Rockies next week, though he could be moved into a rematch with the Mets if the Marlins add a spot starter since their next day off is June 30.
Jun 11 2022Garrett (1-1) allowed an unearned run on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings to earn the win Saturday over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: An error allowed Jeremy Pena to reach in the fifth inning, and Jose Altuve knocked him in with an RBI double. That was the only damage on Garrett's line in an otherwise productive outing for his first win in two games this season. Hes now given up five runs (four earned) on 11 hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts across nine innings. Garrett has a chance to continue in the rotation as injuries have piled up for the Marlins -- he's projected for a road start versus the Mets next week.
Jun 10 2022Garrett is slated to start Saturday's game against the Astros in Houston, FishStripes.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Jesus Luzardo (forearm) and Cody Poteet (elbow) stuck on the injured list and Elieser Hernandez having been sent down to the minors, Garrett will pick up a second turn through the Miami rotation. In his season debut for the big club last Sunday against the Giants, Garrett was dealt a loss after giving up four earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in 3.1 innings.
Jun 5 2022Garrett (0-1) took the loss Sunday against San Francisco, allowing four runs on five hits, two hit batsmen and a walk while striking out five in 3.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The big blow against Garrett was Donovan Walton's one-out grand slam in the fourth inning. While the home run accounted for all the runs against the lefty, he was less than stellar in the other innings of his first start of the season. The 24-year-old has been effective at Triple-A Jacksonville, compiling a 3.71 ERA in 23 career starts, but has not been able to put it together at the big-league level with a 5.60 ERA and 45:26 K:BB in 45 innings since 2020.
Jun 4 2022Garrett has joined the Marlins as part of their taxi squad and will likely start Sunday's game against the Giants, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was shut down for a month at Triple-A Jacksonville due to a left shoulder injury, but he returned to action last Saturday. The southpaw allowed a hit and no walks while striking out three in five scoreless innings against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday and will likely draw his first major-league start of the season Sunday. Elieser Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday, so Garrett should have a chance to remain in Miami's rotation.
Mar 21 2022The Marlins optioned Garrett to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After finishing out the 2021 season in the minors, Garrett faced an uphill battle to crack the Opening Day rotation, so his demotion Monday comes as little surprise. He should be able to pick up regular starts at Jacksonville to begin the 2022 campaign and could be one of the first pitchers in line for a call-up when injuries inevitably hit the big-league rotation.
Aug 17 2021Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was tagged for three runs on three hits and six walks over three-plus innings during Monday's start, and he'll return to the minors following the rough outing. The 24-year-old has struggled in eight outings for the Marlins this season with a 5.03 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 32:20 K:BB across 34 innings.
Aug 10 2021Garrett didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 6-5 loss to San Diego, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts in 3.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Coming off two straight solid outings, Garrett coughed up nearly as many baserunners as outs recorded and surrendered runs in three different innings. This was the rookie's first start allowing more than three runs and his spot in the rotation isn't secure, though the fact that the start came against a powerful offense bodes well for his prospects.
Aug 5 2021Garrett blanked the Mets over five innings during Thursday's win, allowing five hits and four walks while striking out six. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old, who was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Thursday's start, showed strong command this time around as he stranded each of his runners. Garrett's velocity wasn't at its strongest, with his fastball averaging 89 mph. In his five major league call-ups this season, the southpaw has given up 11 runs over 27.2 innings. Thanks to his successful outing, Garrett should have a chance to remain in the rotation with Trevor Rogers (personal), Pablo Lopez (shoulder) and Cody Poteet (knee) all on the shelf.
Jul 25 2021The Marlins optioned Garrett to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Miami's decision to demote Garrett is likely more of a roster-management move rather than a result of any dissatisfaction with his performance; the 23-year-old lefty submitted the best start of his MLB career in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Padres, working seven innings while allowing only two runs and striking out 10. The Miami rotation is extremely shorthanded at the moment, so Garrett likely won't have to wait long for a call-up. The Marlins play only five games during the upcoming week, with the pair of off days allowing the club to get by with a three- or four-man rotation in the short term.
Jul 24 2021The Marlins recalled Garrett from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty rejoins Miami to fill the roster spot of Trevor Rogers (back) and presumably enter the starting rotation until Rogers is activated. In four appearances with the Marlins this season, three of which were starts, Garrett has pitched 15.2 innings and posted a 5.17 ERA. Walks have been an issue for him, though, as he's issued eight free passes.
Jul 19 2021The Marlins optioned Garrett to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Miami called Garrett up and designated him as its 27th man for Sunday's game against the Phillies, which was proceeded by a resumption of the contest Saturday that was suspended in the top of the 10th inning. Garrett drew his third start of the season for the Marlins in the series finale, working 4.1 innings and giving up three runs (two earned) en route to taking a no-decision in the 7-4 loss. Though the Marlins still have two open spots in the rotation with Pablo Lopez (shoulder) recently joining Cody Poteet (knee) on the injured list, Garrett apparently didn't impress enough to receive another turn this weekend versus the Padres. The Marlins would need to place another player on the IL in a corresponding move in order for Garrett to be eligible to rejoin the big club within 15 days.
Jul 18 2021Garrett allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out two in 4.1 innings in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Phillies. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Sunday's game. The Phillies scored four runs in the fifth and sixth innings, which forced the southpaw to settle for the no-decision. The 23-year-old has now posted a 5.17 ERA and 1.91 WHIP in 15.2 innings across four major-league appearances (three starts) this year. If Garrett remains in the rotation, he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Padres on Friday.
Jun 15 2021Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-hander made his third start of the season Monday versus the Cardinals and allowed two runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and a walk over 4.1 innings. The Marlins have scheduled off days Thursday and next Monday, so the team can operate with a short rotation for the immediate future. Garrett has a 5.56 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 11.1 innings this season, and he could receive another look from Miami later in the summer.
Jun 14 2021Garrett didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Cardinals after allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while fanning three across 4.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett displayed improved control in his second MLB start but couldn't get out of the fifth inning after needing 70 pitches just to record 10 outs. The left-hander could remain in the rotation for another start, but he'll need to deliver a better performance if he wants to remain a starter once some of the injured pitchers on the Marlins roster begin to recover.
Jun 13 2021Garrett is slated to start Monday's game against the Cardinals in St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite displaying shaky control (three walks in four innings) in his first start of the season Wednesday in Miami versus the Rockies, Garrett will get another turn through the rotation. The Marlins' lack of healthy starting pitchers more than anything is allowing Garrett to stick in the rotation for the time being, but he could be at risk of losing his spot soon with Cody Poteet (knee) having resumed a throwing program since being placed on the injured list June 5.
Jun 9 2021Garrett (0-1) allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three across four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett drew the start due to the depleted state of the Marlins rotation. He limited runs to a reasonable degree, but allowed multiple baserunners in three of the four innings he pitched. Garrett has now thrown only 14.2 major-league innings, during which he's allowed 10 earned runs while posting a 13:9 K:BB. He could have the chance to take at least one more turn through the rotation, depending on the timeline for several Miami starters to return to the mound.
Jun 8 2021Garrett was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Jacksonville. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw fills the roster spot of Daniel Castano (shoulder), whom the Marlins placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and figures to start Wednesday's game in Castano's stead. Having helf opponents scoreless in two of his last three minor-league starts, Garrett appears to be a capable fill-in for the Marlins' rotation.
Jun 5 2021Garrett is on turn at Triple-A Jacksonville to pitch Wednesday if Cody Poteet (knee) misses his next start, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Poteet left's Friday's game with what was diagnosed as an MCL sprain, but as of early Saturday, Poteet hadn't been ruled out for his next outing. If he is forced to miss time, Garrett is in position to replace him, particularly with Daniel Castano likely filling in for Elieser Hernandez (quadriceps) on Tuesday. Garrett gave up three runs over three innings against the Dodgers on May 15 in his season debut for the Marlins, but the 23-year-old's posted a 1.69 ERA and 17:4 K:BB over his last three starts (16 innings) at Triple-A.
May 16 2021Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old was called up by Miami on Saturday and surrendered three runs over three frames in his season debut. Garrett will head to Triple-A for now but figures to rejoin the Marlins at some point later in the year.
May 15 2021Garrett was recalled by the Marlins on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both of Garrett's appearances during his big-league debut last season came as a starter, but the Marlins don't appear to need a starter for the next few days. It's possible he'll be asked to provide length behind Jordan Holloway against the Dodgers on Saturday, as he lasted just 3.2 innings in his first career start Monday. Cody Poteet was optioned to clear a spot for Garrett on the roster.
Mar 15 2021The Marlins optioned Garrett to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was one of seven players sent to minor-league camp in the Marlins' latest round of cuts as Opening Day approaches. The 2016 first-round pick got the chance to make his MLB debut during the abbreviated 2020 campaign, making two starts and giving up five earned runs while striking out eight over 7.2 innings. Miami is expected to continue developing Garrett as a rotation option, but a move to the bullpen might represent his most realistic path back to the big leagues if the Marlins' starters enjoy generally good health this season.
Mar 3 2021Garrett was sitting in the low 90s with his fastball, topping out at 93 mph, during his Grapefruit League debut Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: On the down side, the young southpaw did walk three of the seven batters he faced, but seeing his velocity rebound was encouraging after he averaged only 89.7 mph in his big-league debut last year. "I was losing a little gas [late last season]," Garrett said Tuesday. "I'd like it to be a little higher, and I think I can get it there. Just continuing to throw and as the innings get up and I get a little more conditioned, that will go up or at least stay where it is." A good showing in camp could see him begin the season in the Marlins' bullpen, but he's more likely to be assigned to Triple-A and stay stretched out as a starter.
Sep 30 2020Garrett made the roster for the NL Wild Card Series against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett made his first two MLB starts this year. He gave up one run and struck out six in five innings to pick up the win in his first outing and gave up four earned runs in 2.2 innings in his second outing. The main takeaway is that Garrett's fastball could be a problem for him, as he averaged just 89.7 mph on that pitch. His curveball was as advertised, a plus hammer, but he will really need to locate his four-pitch mix to get by on that fastball velocity. He could be used as a long reliever or situational lefty in this series.
Sep 20 2020Garrett (1-1) was charged with five runs (four earned) on five hits over 2.2 innings in a loss to the Nationals in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader. He struck out two and walked three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Trea Turner and Kurt Suzuki touched Garrett up for homers early and the Nationals piled on for 10 additional runs against the bullpen. Garrett, the seventh overall pick in 2016, was much better in his debut Sept. 13, allowing one run while fanning six over five innings in a win over Philadelphia. Garrett was the designated 29th man for the doubleheader, so he is almost certainly head back to the alternate site in exchange for a fresh arm, though the transaction has not yet been made official.
Sep 14 2020The Marlins optioned Garrett to their alternate training site following Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Miami summoned the 23-year-old lefty from the alternate site to start the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Phillies. Garrett was quite impressive in the outing, ceding one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six to come away victorious in his MLB debut. Miami will have two doubleheaders on tap against the Nationals during the upcoming weekend, so expect the Marlins to bring Garrett back from the alternate site to start one of those four contests.
Sep 13 2020Garrett (1-0) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in Sunday's Game 2 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Garrett was strong over in his major-league debut, throwing 46-of-75 pitches for strikes. Only an Alec Bohm solo shot in the second inning tarnished his otherwise stellar outing. Garrett was the Marlins' 29th man for the doubleheader, so he's likely to return to the alternate training site.
