| Jun 17 2025 | Nardi (back) was cleared to play catch Monday, MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nardi has been slow to recover from low back inflammation, an injury that dates back to spring training and which has kept him on the shelf all season. Though the right-handed reliever won't need to be built up to pitch more than an inning or two, he's still likely weeks away from reaching a point in his throwing program where he's ready to head out on a rehab assignment. He appears to be tracking toward a return from the 60-day injured list at some point in July, though he may not be back until after the All-Star break. |
|
| Jun 10 2025 | The Marlins announced Monday that Nardi (back) is continuing to receive treatment and taking part in regular rehab, but he's without a timeline to make his 2025 debut, MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Nardi seems to have resumed taking part in baseball activities since receiving an injection April 30 to relieve pain in his lower back, the Marlins haven't provided a concrete update regarding where he stands in his throwing program. Since he's been on the injured list all season, Nardi will likely require an extended minor-league rehab assignment before the Marlins bring him back from the 60-day injured list. |
|
| Mar 31 2025 | Nardi (back) began a throwing program Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll likely gradually increase his throwing distance off flat ground over the next week or two before moving on to mound work. Nardi was shut down in early March due to lower back inflammation and was placed on the 60-day injured list, so he won't be eligible to make his 2025 debut with the Marlins until at least late May. |
|
| Mar 15 2025 | The Marlins placed Nardi on the 60-day injured list Saturday with lower-back inflammation. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A setback in Nardi's recovery from a lower-back injury has kept him shut down from throwing since March 5. His status for Opening Day had been in question, but moving to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least late May. His roster spot will be filled by Seth Martinez, who was claimed off waivers from the Mariners on Saturday. |
|
| Mar 5 2025 | Nardi has halted his throwing program after feeling more tightness in his back, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nardi came into camp with a back injury and had been ramping things up, but now he's suffered a setback. He will be re-evaluated in the coming days, and his readiness for Opening Day would now appear very much in question. |
|
| Feb 25 2025 | Nardi (back) played catch Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Recovering from a lower-back injury, Nardi has a rest day Tuesday and then will play catch again Wednesday if he feels up to it. The left-hander should have time to get ready for Opening Day if he progresses well from here on out, but it doesn't seem as though he's particularly close to pitching in a game. |
|
| Feb 12 2025 | Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Wednesday that Nardi is dealing with lower-back inflammation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: McCullough revealed last week that Nardi would be behind schedule at the start of camp, but he didn't disclose the nature of the injury at the time. The good news is the injury is not related to the elbow issue that caused the lefty to miss the final five-plus weeks of the 2024 season. If healthy, Nardi will be in the mix for high-leverage innings in the Marlins' bullpen. |
|
| Feb 7 2025 | Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Friday that Nardi (elbow) will be behind at the start of spring training after something flared up over the offseason, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: McCullough didn't disclose the nature of the injury, but it's probably safe to assume it's related to the left elbow injury that caused Nardi to miss the final five-plus weeks of the 2024 season. The skipper noted that the team is still waiting for further clarity on the severity of Nardi's injury. If healthy, Nardi could be in the mix for saves in 2025. He held a 5.07 ERA but a 70:18 K:BB over 49.2 innings last season. |
|
| Sep 7 2024 | The Marlins transferred Nardi (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nardi initially landed on the injured list Aug. 24, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the season. The 26-year-old southpaw will close the book on 2024 with a 5.07 ERA and 1.25 WHIP alongside a 70:18 K:BB across 49.2 innings. |
|
| Aug 24 2024 | The Marlins placed Nardi on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, due to a left elbow injury. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear when Nardi picked up the injury, though he did get roughed up against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, when he gave up two runs on two hits and one walk while recording just one out. Prior to Wednesday, Nardi recorded six holds in his last 14 outings with a 3.29 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 13.2 innings. Miami recalled right-hander George Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. |
|
| Aug 1 2024 | Nardi collected his 12th hold of the season in Wednesday's win over the Rays, walking one and striking out three in a scoreless sixth inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw was considered the favorite to take over closing duties for the Marlins after Tanner Scott was traded to the Padres, but instead manager Skip Schumaker called on Nardi in the sixth inning Wednesday to protect a 4-2 lead. Miami wound up adding to its lead in the seventh, eliminating a potential save chance, but it still wasn't encouraging usage for any fantasy GMs hoping Nardi will pick up saves down the stretch. Anthony Bender, another potential closing option, was called on in the eighth inning after the lead was extended to 6-2 while Calvin Faucher worked the ninth, leaving the bullpen picture for the Marlins very murky. |

| Jul 26 2024 | Nardi might step into the closer role if Tanner Scott is traded, Kaushik Sampath of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nardi had a brutal start to the season, getting tagged for eight runs in his first four appearances, but since then the lefty has produced a palatable 3.50 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB through 36 innings. Scott becomes a free agent in the offseason and is almost certain to be dealt by next week's trade deadline, and with A.J. Puk now in Arizona, the path to the ninth inning could be fairly clear for Nardi. Huascar Brazoban could also be in the mix for closing duties in the wake of a Scott trade. |
|
| Jun 24 2024 | Nardi picked up his seventh hold of the season Sunday, giving up a hit and striking out a batter to record the final out of the seventh inning. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw has overcome some early season struggles and hasn't walked a batter in 12 straight appearances, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 10:0 K:BB through 9.2 innings over that stretch. Nardi's seven holds ties him with Anthony Bender for the team lead, and if closer Tanner Scott gets dealt before the trade deadline, the duo would still represent the top options to step into ninth-inning duty for the Marlins. |
|
| Apr 27 2024 | Nardi gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning Friday while striking out one, but he was charged with his third blown save of the season after allowing an inherited runner to score. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Kyle Tyler began the sixth inning but got the hook after giving up a leadoff single to Jacob Young, and Nardi wasn't able to prevent Young from coming around to score and tie the game at 1-1. Nardi hasn't been tagged with a run of his own in six straight appearances, and while he's struck out 10 batters in 5.1 innings over that stretch, he's also issued three free passes and hit a batter with a pitch. He's whittled his ratios down to a 7.71 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in the process, but the 25-year-old southpaw is still struggling to regain the form he flashed in 2023. |
