Braxton Garrett Experiencing "Dead Arm"
8 months agoMiami Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said that left-hander Braxton Garrett (shoulder) experienced "dead arm" after his latest bullpen session. The good news is that this isn't related to his initial left-shoulder injury that caused him to open the season on the injured list. It remains to be seen if this will delay the 26-year-old southpaw from returning to Miami's starting rotation this week. He should be sufficiently stretched out after throwing 86 pitches in his last minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville last Friday. Fantasy managers that are in need of some extra starting pitching depth in deeper mixed leagues should consider picking Garrett off the waiver wire now. He should stick in the team's rotation all year if he can stay healthy after going 9-7 with a 3.66 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 29 walks and 156 K's in 159 2/3 innings in 2023.
