2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Elbow and back injuries limited Luzardo to just 12 starts and 66.2 innings last season. The left-hander's performance also took a step back when he was healthy, as he collected a 5.00 ERA and saw his strikeout rate dip from 28.1 percent all the way down to 21.2 percent. Luzardo's velocity was down across the board, which might have been related to his injuries. He did still boast a whiff rate of over 40 percent on both his slider and changeup, offering hope that he could bounce back in 2025 if he can stay healthy and regain the pep on his heater. That said, Luzardo has made 20 starts in a season just once at the major-league level and, even when healthy, has often been inconsistent. Being traded to the Phillies in December will boost his potential win total, but that doesn't otherwise change the risks in his profile. Read Past Outlooks
Avoids arbitration
Luzardo agreed to a one-year, $6.225 million contract with the Phillies on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Luzardo will receive a $725,000 raise heading into his first year with the Phillies. The 27-year-old southpaw logged a 5.00 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 66.2 innings with the Marlins before a lumbar stress reaction put an early end to his season in June. After being traded to the Phillies, he recently told reporters that he's fully recovered from his injury and is a candidate to bounce back in 2025 after posting a 3.48 ERA between 2022-23.

2018
At age 25 last season, Luzardo established himself as a legitimate frontline starter for Miami, and he may not be done ascending. He went into the All-Star break riding high, having allowed just two runs in 25.2 innings with a 35:5 K:BB in his final four starts of the first half. There was talk about what the Marlins might do to manage Luzardo's workload after injuries previously limited him to just over 100 innings in a big-league season. In the end the team didn't do anything to limit Luzardo and he soared past 180 innings when including his four-inning outing in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. It's the type of jump in innings that we're not used to seeing, and the results suffered down the stretch as the innings added up, though it's debatable whether the workload increase itself is a reason to be cautious with Luzardo entering 2024. He could be in the running to start Opening Day with Sandy Alcantara out after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential deal to Cubs 'dead'
A trade which would have sent Luzardo to the Cubs is "dead," Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Trade talks between the Marlins and Cubs had been heating up to the point that a deal looked like it might be close to doing down, but evidently things have fallen apart and both sides are moving on. Luzardo was limited to just 12 starts in 2024 due to a flexor issue and back problem, although it's not clear if it was a physical concern with the lefty that put the kibosh on the trade.
