Braxton Garrett Not in Contention to Earn MLB Promotion?
According to Fish on First, Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Braxton Garrett is still listed to start on Tuesday evening for Triple-A Jacksonville, which could prevent him from replacing Chris Paddack in the MLB rotation on Friday. Earlier on Tuesday, Paddack was designated for assignment, opening his next turn in the rotation on Friday. While Garrett was expected to be the top option to replace him, given that he will start this evening, the team's budding prospect, Robby Snelling, is now the favorite to take the MLB job. Garrett has enjoyed a dominant start to the Triple-A season, logging 26 1/3 innings to the tune of an elite 1.71 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, and a 26:12 K:BB. However, given that he is still set to take the mound this evening, he is unlikely to replace Paddack in the rotation in the short-term, making Snelling a high-end stash option in all formats.
