Is Braxton Garrett Nearing a Return to the Major Leagues?
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett is one of the team's top options to take over an open spot in their rotation. Struggling starter Chris Paddack was designated for assignment on Tuesday, opening up his scheduled spot on Friday. Garrett made seven starts for the Marlins in 2024 but missed all of 2025 after elbow surgery. He didn't earn a spot in the rotation out of spring training but is still on the 40-man roster, which gives him an advantage over Robbie Snelling, who is also a candidate to join the rotation. Garrett has looked sharp in his five Triple-A starts this season, allowing five earned runs on just six hits in 25 1/3 innings for a 1.71 ERA and 4.57 FIP. While he doesn't offer the elite strikeout upside Snelling brings for fantasy, Garrett seems more likely to get the promotion based on his roster status. Keep a close eye on who moves into Miami's rotation since both lefties have looked good enough to be waiver wire options if they get the call.
