Anthony Bender Stats

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (elbow) had Tommy John surgery on Aug. 30 in Los Angeles. His rehab was moved from Jupiter, Fla., to Miami on Sept. 9. He exited an outing after just five pitches on Aug. 13 and was placed on the injured list on Aug. 14. There's a good chance that the 27-year-old right-hander won't pitch at all in the majors in 2023 after having elbow reconstruction. Before his injury last month, Bender had a 3.26 ERA (4.78 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP, six saves and 17 strikeouts in 19 1/3 relief innings in just his second major league season.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow strain. The 27-year-old right-hander threw just five pitches in Saturday's contest against the Braves before exiting early. He missed several months earlier this season with a back issue and has only made six appearances between May 18 and August 13. Bender owns a 3.26 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 17:8 K/BB ratio over just 19 1/3 innings this year. The Marlins should provide an update on him on Monday. Andrew Nardi had his contract selected from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bender (back) will reportedly make a rehab appearance for the organization's Double-A affiliate on Tuesday. Bender is currently on the 60-day injured list and most recently pitched in the Majors on May 18 in an appearance against the Washington Nationals. So far this season, the right-hander has pitched to a 4.50 ERA and a 5.34 FIP in 14 innings for the Marlins. He's also logged six saves, though, at the moment, Tanner Scott has taken over as Miami's closer. Due to Scott's emergence, Bender might only have fantasy value in deeper leagues where holds are part of the scoring when he returns from the injured list.
