| Outlook: Although he became the Marlins’ Opening Day starter with Sandy Alcantara on the shelf, Luzardo was never right last year. He landed on the IL with elbow tightness after going 0-2 with a 6.58 ERA in his first five starts. The Marlins let him pull of a quick return in mid-May, but he went down again in June, this time because of a stress reaction in his back, and never returned. In spite of the lengthy absence, he was in demand as a trade candidate at the winter meetings and ended up being sent to Philadelphia for two prospects. A healthy Luzardo is a force to be reckoned with; he had a 29% strikeout rate and a 3.48 ERA between 2022, when he was limited to 18 starts by a forearm strain, and 2023, when he made 32 starts and topped his career-best innings total by 63. He’s expected to be 100 percent this spring, and he should be a nice contributor in mixed leagues for however long that lasts. | |||||||||||||
