"Janson Junk, who pitched 110 innings with a 4.17 ERA last year, will open the season as Miami's fifth starter, providing the team with flexibility in their bullpen."
"Braxton Garrett, the No. 7 overall pick in 2016, has faced challenges due to injuries and surgery, limiting his effectiveness and leading to his optioning to Triple-A."
Braxton Garrett has been optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville, with Janson Junk confirmed as Miami's fifth starter. Junk's performance last year included a 4.17 ERA and elite walk rate. Despite allowing five runs in five innings this spring, he showed a solid strikeout rate. Garrett, the No. 7 overall pick in 2016, struggled in 2024 due to injuries and surgery, limiting his appearances. His optioning allows for more bullpen flexibility and time to recover.
