Jesús Luzardo News
The Miami Marlins placed left-hander Jesus Luzardo (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 23) on Friday with left-elbow tightness and recalled right-hander Anthony Maldonado from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. The Marlins scratched Luzardo from his start on Friday against the Washington Nationals, and now he's going to miss at least the next two weeks. The 26-year-old southpaw first felt pain in his elbow while playing catch on Thursday but doesn't think he'll be out for too long. We should know more after the Marlins reveal the results of the tests on Luzardo's left arm. Maldonado is the team's No. 18 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but he hasn't gone more than two innings in any of his minor-league appearances this year and is likely to be sent back to Jacksonville after his major-league debut on Friday.
Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo (elbow) was scratched from his scheduled start on Friday versus the Washington Nationals and will undergo testing for left-elbow discomfort, according to the team. The Marlins can ill-afford another injury to one of their starting pitchers, but the good news is they should be getting left-hander Braxton Garrett (shoulder) back soon. For now, fantasy managers that have the 26-year-old Luzardo rostered must keep him stashed and hope for the best. It's more bad news for a pitcher that has gotten off to a tough start in 2024, as he's posted a 6.58 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 27 strikeouts and 13 walks in five starts covering 26 innings. In Luzardo's place, pitching prospect Anthony Maldonado will make the spot start against the Nats.
Left-hander Jesus Luzardo will take the mound at home for the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in his second start of the season. Luzardo went five innings, allowing two runs on two hits, while walking two and striking out eight in his first start against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He will now face an Angels lineup that is slashing .195/.264/.383. Luzardo has faced the Angels six times, but just once as a starter, and is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA. Mike Trout has taken the lefty deep three times in just five at-bats, so Luzardo is looking to find better success on Tuesday to pick up his first win of the season.

Before 2023, Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo hadn't surpassed more than 100 1/3 IP in a season, but last year, the lefty tallied 178 2/3 IP. The former third-round pick notched a career-high in Ks with 208, twelfth-most in the majors, a 1.21 WHIP, 3.55 FIP, and 20.6% K-BB% on his way to collecting 10 wins. Luzardo also posted a top-12 SwStr% (14.1%) and Contact% (70.8%). He went from 6.1% BB% in the first half of 2023 to 9.6% in the second half, but should lower the BB% as he matures and gets used to pitching more innings. Another bugaboo is the long ball. The southpaw allowed an 11.5% HR/FB in 2023. FGDC projections for 2024 have him going 11-10 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 18.8% K-BB%, and 208 K in 181 IP. His NFBC ADP has him going around pick 90, but RotoBaller is very bullish, ranking him at 74. It'd be no surprise to see Luzardo go to his first All-Star game in 2024, and it's no wonder his name is being tossed around as a possible trade target. If he gets an upgrade in environment, it could boost his projected win total, increasing his fantasy value too.
