Miami Marlins starting pitching prospect Adam Mazur logged another stellar outing on Wednesday evening. He tossed seven innings of one-run ball with just two hits and no free passes. He struck out a season-high nine batters. This was his second straight quality start and a great sign for the 23-year-old as he posted a hefty 6.92 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP in his previous three outings before this stretch. The Iowa product got a brief look at the major leagues this season when he was still on the Padres and held a 7.49 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP through his first 33 frames. However, since joining the Marlins organization, Mazur has held a much-improved 3.81 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP at Triple-A. The right-hander remains a name to keep an eye on in deeper leagues, as he may earn a late-season promotion to the big leagues.
Adam Mazur Named International League Pitcher Of The Week
Miami Marlins pitching prospect Adam Mazur earned International League Pitcher of the Week honors for his performance this past week for the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Mazur pitched six shutout innings allowing just one hit with no walks and four strikeouts in his latest outing. Since joining Jacksonville, Mazur, the Marlins' No. 12 prospect, is 1-1 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in four starts. In 19 innings pitched with the Jumbo Shrimp, he has 15 strikeouts with just two walks. Mazur made eight starts for the Padres this season before he was traded to Miami. He pitched to a 7.49 ERA in the majors this season and could get another look with Miami when rosters expand in September.
The Miami Marlins acquired right-handed pitching prospect Adam Mazur from the San Diego Padres on Tuesday in part of the package that sent left-handed closer Tanner Scott to the Friars. In addition to Mazur, the Fish landed pitcher Robby Snelling, infielder Graham Pauley and second baseman Jay Beshears. Mazur checked in as SD's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and made his first eight major-league starts this year before the trade. The former second-round pick in 2022 out of Iowa has struggled in his first taste of the big leagues, going 1-3 with a 7.49 ERA (6.22 FIP) and 1.81 WHIP with a 22:21 K:BB in 33 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old also got hit around in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League before his call-up. It remains to be seen if the Marlins will continue letting him face big-league pitchers the rest of this year, but Mazur could certainly benefit from some more development on the farm.
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Adam Mazur has been recalled to take the ball against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The 23-year-old was demoted a few weeks ago after struggling during a handful of starts with the Padres. Mazur holds an ugly 7.84 ERA, 1.84 WHIP, and 21/19 K/BB across seven starts in the big leagues. This is a tough assignment for Mazur given how strong the O's offense has been this season. Fantasy managers should look for a better streaming option ahead of Friday's game.
After another poor performance on Tuesday, the San Diego Padres have demoted pitcher Adam Mazur to Triple-A El Paso. Mazur allowed five runs on Tuesday against a weak Seattle Mariners offense and it will remain to be seen if he will be back with the club following the upcoming All-Star break. The right-hander has pitched very well throughout his minor league career, but has looked overmatched in his debut season in the big leagues. Mazur has been up and down with the Padres this season, but his 7.84 ERA in seven starts is evidence that he needs more seasoning on the farm. For now, Mazur is only worth holding onto in dynasty leagues.
The San Diego Padres are calling up pitching prospect Adam Mazur from Triple-A El Paso, according to a source familiar with the situation. Mazur, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is expected to make his first major-league start on Tuesday on the road against the Los Angeles Angels. The 23-year-old gets his first big-league call-up after going a combined 4-3 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, nine walks and 50 strikeouts in 51 1/3 innings over 10 starts at Double-A San Antonio and El Paso. In four starts at El Paso, he's allowed 15 earned runs on 21 hits (four homers) while walking four and fanning 18 in 19 innings. With both Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Yu Darvish (hamstring) on the injured list, the Padres rotation is thinned out, giving Mazur the opportunity to perhaps have a two-start week in two good matchups against the Angels and Arizona Diamondbacks.
