JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Miami Marlins have announced that left-handed pitcher Braxton Garrett has been assigned to Jacksonville to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment. Garrett is expected to start for the Jumbo Shrimp in Wednesday’s 7:05 p.m. game against the Iowa Cubs from 121 Financial Ballpark.
Garrett was placed on the 15-day injured list on August 20 (retroactive to August 17) with a right oblique strain.

He has racked up 71 strikeouts while yielding 17 walks and 66 hits.
After being selected seventh overall out of Florence High School (Ala.) in the 2016 draft by the Marlins, Garrett made his major league debut on September 13, 2020 against the Philadelphia Phillies. In three seasons, he has pitched in 23 games, making 22 starts with a 4-9 record. In 110.1 innings the Alabama native has allowed 52 ER for a 4.24 ERA.

The southpaw allowed 37 ER in 85.2 innings for a 3.89 ERA while totaling 86 strikeouts against 32 walks and 73 hits. The 2022 campaign saw Garrett begin the season in Jacksonville, where he made five starts, going 2-1. In 26 innings, he allowed just nine runs pitching to a tune of a 3.12 ERA prior to his promotion.
