Marlins Reinstate Jesus Luzardo, Designate Jake Fishman, Select Aneurys Zabala

By Darragh McDonald | August 1, 2022 at 5:00pm CDT

5:00pm: The Marlins later announced further moves to reporters, including Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. Righty Aneurys Zabala has had his contract selected, with Jordan Holloway being transferred to the 60-day IL in order to make room on the roster. Holloway was placed on the IL a few days ago with an elbow impingement and evidently isn’t expected back in the next couple of months. Today’s placement puts the rest of his season in jeopardy. Zabala made his MLB debut earlier this year, logging two thirds of an inning.

2:55pm: The Marlins have announced to reporters, including Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase, a couple of roster moves. Left-hander Jesus Luzardo has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list, while fellow lefty Jake Fishman has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Luzardo, 24, was acquired from the Athletics in last year’s Starling Marte trade. Baseball America considered him one of the top 10 prospects in all of baseball in both 2019 and 2020 but he struggled in 2021. Between the two clubs, he put up a 6.61 ERA last year, but nonetheless was expected to carry a rotation spot for the Marlins here in 2022.

He was able to make six starts early in the season, which came with both encouraging and discouraging results. His 34.5% strikeout rate was excellent, but it came with a very high 13.4% walk rate. He was sitting on a 4.03 ERA through 29 innings when he landed on the shelf due to a forearm strain. He now returns after over two months out of action.

The Marlins came into the season expecting for their rotation to be a strength, but injuries have taken a toll on that plan. Even with Luzardo now off the IL, the club still has Edward Cabrera, Daniel Castano, Trevor Rogers and Max Meyer on the shelf, with Meyer set to undergo Tommy John surgery and likely miss much of 2023 as well. Luzardo will jump into the mix next to Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez, Nick Neidert and Braxton Garrett.

As for the appropriately-named Fishman, the Marlins just selected him to the club a few days ago but have now thrown him back. The 27-year-old got into one MLB game, making his debut, logging 3 1/3 frames before losing his roster spot. In 43 1/3 Triple-A innings this year, he put up a 1.87 ERA with a 54.3% ground ball rate, 24.4% strikeout rate and 9.1% walk rate. Given that strong showing, he’s likely to garner interest from other clubs, especially because lefties are always in demand.

    Surprised they cut Fishman loose. He’d be a real catch for some other team.

    If Fishman can’t stick with the Marlins then I doubt he’ll be able to hook in with another team. Nobody is going to reel him in this late in the season.

      I disagree. If he pitches well he might prove to eventually be attractive bait for a team angling for a playoff run.

      I think he just needs to add new pitch, like a sinker.

    So are they saying that a lizard is better than a fish? VERY debatable.

    Jesus Luzardo and the reaction to the Hader for Rogers/Lamet trade reaction in the MLBTR comments, remind me of how fickle prospect rankings and fan perception can be.

    Many sports fans are slave to the moment. One year Hader is a HOF and Lamet/Luzardo the next Pedro. The next year they’re called garbage by guys who haven’t picked up a baseball since high school.

        I agree. I think Hader hit a little rough patch, but will return to his normal production.
        I also like the move for the future value and cost savings in MIL.

    Man, that whole interview with the Fishman family looks odd today. I guess they are waiting to know if they need to keep or dump their Marlins freebies they were sporting.
