Garrett did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over five innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.
Garrett has now allowed just three runs over his last three outings (16.1 innings). However, he's only pitched through six innings once in nine starts. The 25-year-old left-hander is 1-2 this season with a 4.50 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 47:11 K:BB through 48 innings. Garrett tentatively lines up to face the Padres at home in his next start.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Brilliant in no-decision
Rotowire
Garrett didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Giants, allowing only one hit and one walk over 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
The southpaw exited a 0-0 tie after throwing 76 pitches and generating an impressive 29 called or swinging strikes. Garrett's eight strikeouts tied his season high, set in his previous outing, while the quality start was his first of 2023. Toss out his 11-run disaster against Atlanta at the beginning of May, and Garrett sports a 2.56 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 41:6 K:BB through 38.2 innings while serving up only two homers. He could be headed for another ratio-spoiling start, however, as he lines up to take the mound next week in Coors Field.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Strikes out eight in no-decision
Rotowire
Garrett did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk across five innings during a 3-1 win over the Reds. He struck out eight.
Garrett posted his third start of the campaign with one or fewer runs across at least five innings and recorded a season-high eight strikeouts in the process. The left-hander's 5.40 ERA remains inflated due to an 11-run outing versus Atlanta, but his 36:7 K:BB over 36.2 innings gives him solid upside moving forward. Garrett's next start is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend set versus San Francisco.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Fans six in loss
Rotowire
Garrett (1-2) took the loss against Arizona on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters over 5.1 innings.
Garrett gave up 11 runs over 4.1 frames against Atlanta in his previous start, so just about anything he could have done Monday would have been an improvement. The left-hander managed to give Miami some length with 5.1 innings, and he didn't give up a run until the fourth, but a Christian Walker homer in the sixth, followed by two straight singles, was enough to end his night and set him on to his second straight defeat. Garrett has a 5.97 ERA on the campaign, though it would be a much more palatable 3.29 if not for the blow-up in his previous outing.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Disastrous outing against Atlanta
Rotowire
Garrett (1-1) took the loss in Wednesday's 14-6 rout at the hands of Atlanta, surrendering 11 runs on 14 hits -- including four home runs -- and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
There's no silver lining here for Garrett. Most of the damage came in a seven-run second inning by Atlanta that saw the southpaw serve up three homers, before a Ronald Acuna blast in the fourth finally chased Garrett from the game. His ERA jumped from 2.45 to a bloated 5.81 after this effort, but it's possible to view this performance as an aberration, as the 25-year-old had been tagged for only one long ball over his first five appearances and 22 innings this season. Garrett will look to put this disaster behind him when he next takes the mound, which is likely to come early next week in Arizona.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Pitches well in abbreviated outing
Rotowire
Garrett did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing no runs on one hit over three innings against Atlanta. He struck out three.
Garrett allowed just one hit in three innings against Atlanta before he was replaced following a rain delay. The left-handed Garrett has been solid early in the season -- he's 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB. However, he's yet to make it out of the fifth inning through four starts this year. Garrett should remain in the Marlins rotation while Trevor Rogers (biceps) and Johnny Cueto (biceps) are sidelined.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Secures first win
Rotowire
Garrett (1-0) picked up the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 3-2 victory over the Guardians. He struck out three.
For the second straight outing, the southpaw came one out short of a quality start, this time getting the hook after 82 pitches (60 strikes) when he gave up a two-out walk and a double with the Marlins clinging to a 3-1 lead. The bullpen kept the inherited runners from scoring, however, and Garrett notched his first win of 2023. The 25-year-old will take a 2.84 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through 19 innings into his next outing, which could come next week in Atlanta.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: To start later game Saturday
Rotowire
Garrett will start the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Garrett was supposed to toe the rubber for the Marlins in Friday's series opener, but that game got postponed a day because of inclement weather in Cleveland. The 25-year-old holds a 3.38 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB through 13.1 innings (two starts, one relief appearance) this season.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Pitches well despite no-decision
Rotowire
Garrett did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against Arizona. He struck out five.
Garrett allowed minimal damage in his second start of the season. This performance was a steady improvement over the 25-year-old southpaw's start last week against the Mets, when he allowed nine hits in just 4.2 innings. The jury is still out on the Alabama native, as he needs to show consistent success in order to keep getting starting opportunities.
Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Strikes out seven in spot start
Rotowire
Garrett did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 7-2 win over the Mets, allowing two runs on nine hits and one walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out seven.
Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday and took Johnny Cueto's (biceps) spot in the rotation. In his first start of the year and only second appearance, Garrett did a fantastic job of working around trouble but wasn't in line for the win after getting pulled in the fifth with two outs. The only blemishes on Garrett's ledger came on RBI singles to Francisco Alvarez and Pete Alonso in the second and fifth innings, respectively. Cueto isn't expected to be sidelined much longer than the minimum 15 days, but Garrett should still garner at least one more start before the veteran right-hander returns.
Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Garrett would seem to be a potential fill-in starter for Johnny Cueto, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday after aggravating a lingering biceps injury in his Marlins debut Monday against the Twins. There should be an update soon to the rotation schedule in Miami. Cueto had been lined up to make his next start Sunday at the Mets.
Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Garrett probably wasn't going to be available for another day or two after throwing three innings in relief Saturday, so the Marlins are replacing him with a fresh arm. He'll likely be stretched back out as a starter with Jacksonville.
