Is Braxton Garrett a Worthy Buy-Low Waiver-Wire Target?
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Braxton Garrett had a rough outing in his first big league start of 2026 on Thursday, allowing five earned runs and five walks in just 1 1/3 innings of work against the Minnesota Twins. After missing the entire 2025 season due to elbow surgery, Garrett opened 2026 in Triple-A. With Marlins left-hander Robby Snelling (elbow) recently hitting the injured list, Garrett appears to have an extended runway to re-establish his place in the Miami rotation. While Garrett's start against Minnesota was obviously not ideal, he pitched to a 2.30 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP with a 26.2% strikeout rate across 31 1/3 minor league innings before getting called up. The 28-year-old also has a track record of MLB success, logging a 3.66 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP with 156 strikeouts across 159 2/3 innings in his last full big-league season in 2023. In deeper leagues, Garrett could be a worthy buy-low pitcher to target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.
