MIAMI(AP) \u2014 The Miami Marlins optioned Braxton Garrett to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, one day after the left-hander’s shaky start in an 8-4 loss<\/a> to the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n Garrett, who allowed three hits, two runs and walked three over three innings on Tuesday, made his second MLB start since returning from elbow surgery<\/a> that sidelined him the entire 2025 season.<\/p>\n He was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on May 14 after Robby Snelling, Miami’s No. 2 prospect who was called up earlier this month, was placed on the 15-day injured list<\/a> with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Snelling will see Dr. Keith Meister on Thursday for further evaluation, the team said.<\/p>\n Garrett gave up five runs on four hits and walked five over 1 1\/3 innings in his first start at Minnesota on May 14.<\/p>\n He started the season at Triple-A Jacksonville as the Marlins opted to begin with right-hander Janson Junk as their No. 5 starter.<\/p>\n In December 2024, Garrett underwent revision surgery with an internal brace on the UCL in his throwing elbow. The 28-year-old made just seven starts in 2024 after being limited by arm injuries. He went 2-2 with a 5.35 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 37 innings.<\/p>\n Garrett is 16-20 with a 4.16 ERA in 67 career games, including 65 starts, for the Marlins.<\/p>\n Left-hander Cade Gibson was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in the corresponding move on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
