Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Garrett's first full season in the big-league rotation was a rousing success, as he struck out more than five batters for every one he walked and maintained a 3.66 ERA over 159.2 innings. The seventh overall pick by Miami in 2016, he lost essentially two years of development time due to Tommy John surgery and the pandemic. While the left-hander doesn't light up the radar gun, the slider has proven to be a quality swing-and-miss pitch for him (40% Whiff the last two seasons). He keeps the ball on the ground and locates all six of his pitches for strikes. Those playing the fantasy game may find it tough to get excited about such a control-dependent pitcher lacking overpowering dominance (career 23.3 K%), but the skills point to a mid-3.00s ERA being sustainable. Still just 26, Garrett should be able to add innings to his 2023 total. Read Past Outlooks
Dealing with elbow impingement
Garrett was diagnosed with a left elbow impingement last week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Garrett missed multiple months of action with a strained left forearm before suffering a setback with his elbow during a bullpen session in September. He is currently going through a throwing progression at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida, and the setback isn't considered something that will jeopardize his availability for the start of spring training.

2017
Garrett began the season with Triple-A Jacksonville, on the IL with a right shoulder impingement. When he was able to take the hill, Garrett pitched well for seven starts before being called up in early June. He initially struggled, at least on the surface a .411 BABIP and 67% LOB mark bloated his 5.24 ERA well over the associated 3.38 FIP and 3.68 xFIP. Regression ensued as Garrett recorded a 3.02 ERA and 1.10 WHIP the rest of the way, supported by a solid 25.4% K-BB% mark and 3.62 FIP and 3.45 xFIP. Garrett doesn't have the pedigree of some of his teammates, but he's always been able to miss bats and his control has improved over the last couple of seasons. Miami has a bevy of fledgling arms, but Garrett has a chance to break camp in the back end of their rotation. He checks all the boxes for a mixed league streamer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely trade chip
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Marlins have received trade interest from multiple teams for their starting pitchers, including Garrett.
ANALYSIS
Garrett missed the first six weeks of the campaign due to a shoulder injury and surrendered 11 runs in his first two starts, but he's given up just one run in his past two outings, one of which was a complete game shutout. The left-hander threw a career-high 159.2 innings last season and had a 3.66 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 156:29 K:BB. Garrett will enter his first year of arbitration eligibility in 2025, so the Marlins should net a sizable return in any potential trade.
