Janson Junk Scratched from Start on Sunday, IL Stint Incoming?
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Janson Junk (undisclosed) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday against the New York Mets and is being evaluated for a possible trip to the injured list, per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Marlins reliever John King will be the opener in Junk's place. It's not yet clear what the injury is for Junk, but it sounds as though he could miss some time. Across 60 innings (11 starts) so far this season, the 30-year-old has recorded a 3-5 record with a 4.80 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 43 strikeouts. Junk has done a good job of limiting free passes (5.1% walk rate), but his 16.9% strikeout rate is uninspiring. Should Junk end up on the injured list, Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett could be the favorite to be recalled from Triple-A to rejoin the Miami rotation.
