A.J. Puk Tossing Bullpen Session On Saturday
12 months agoMiami Marlins relief pitcher A.J. Puk (elbow) is slated to throw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Saturday. It's another step towards the 28-year-old's return to action as he works his way back from dead arm. After acquiring Puk in a trade this past winter straight up for former top-prospect JJ Bleday, Miami is likely to be in no hurry to bring their presumed closer back before he's fully recovered. Puk has six saves, three wins, and 19 strikeouts in 14.2 innings while Dylan Floro has racked up four saves in his stead. Floro should remain rostered in all leagues as the Marlins stopper until the big southpaw returns. Puk's 2023 percentile rankings on Statcast are off the charts, so he signifies a crucial hold for all fantasy managers.
