Braxton Garrett's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett (forearm) will make a minor-league rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Thursday and will go either three innings or 50 pitches. Garrett has been given the green light to pitch in games again after throwing a live batting practice session over the weekend and a bullpen on Tuesday. Because of the fact that the 27-year-old southpaw has been on the injured list since the middle of June, he's likely going to need at least a couple of rehab starts, which means he probably won't be able to make more than one or two starts in the big leagues to close out the season. Fantasy managers can't be expecting much from Garrett the rest of the way, especially since he's made only seven starts in 2024. In those seven starts, he posted a 5.35 ERA (3.83 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 34 strikeouts and only four walks in 37 innings.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett (forearm) played catch before Wednesday's game against the visiting Cincinnati Reds in Miami as he builds up in his throwing program. Garrett said he's about a week and a half away from beginning to throw bullpen sessions. He was placed on the injured list on June 23 after he was scratched from his scheduled start due to a left forearm flexor strain, and Garrett isn't expected to rejoin Miami's rotation until sometime in September. The 26-year-old southpaw owns a 5.35 ERA and 1.19 WHIP to go with a sharp 34:4 K:BB this season, but he's difficult to stash in fantasy leagues without a whole lot of time remaining to make an impact.

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett (forearm), who has been playing catch in Jupiter, Florida, was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. He was originally placed on the IL on June 23 after getting scratched from his scheduled start due to a left forearm flexor strain, and he'll now be out through mid-August with the move. 2024 is shaping up as an injury-ruined year for Garrett, who has been limited to 37 innings (seven starts) for the Marlins while yielding a 5.35 ERA and 1.19 WHIP to go with a tidy 34:4 K:BB this season. By the time the 26-year-old southpaw begins a minor-league rehab assignment, the last-place Fish will not have much incentive to bring him back in any capacity this year. After being one of fantasy's breakout stars of 2023, Garrett is fairly safe to drop in all leagues without much time remaining to be a factor for those who were still holding on.
