Janson Junk Wearing a Walking Boot After Rolling Ankle
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Janson Junk (right ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot after rolling his right ankle on Tuesday, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The boot is reportedly just a precaution, but his injury is serious enough to keep him out of Wednesday's scheduled pitch design session. Junk sustained the injury during warmups, and while initial tests came back negative, he's scheduled to be examined by a doctor on Wednesday. An injury is a tough break for the 30-year-old as he competes for a spot in Miami's season-opening rotation. He made 21 appearances (16 starts) in the majors last year, posting an impressive 3.14 FIP with 6.30 K/9, 1.06 BB/9, and 0.65 HR/9. Evidently, he pitches to contact, which can have mixed results but seemed to work pretty well for him in 2025. It's too early to tell whether he'll end up in the rotation or bullpen, but either way, he can be avoided in fantasy baseball given his low strikeout rate and lack of save opportunities.
