Marlins Pitcher Braxton Garrett to Miss 2025 Season After Elbow Surgery

The 27-year-old underwent UCL revision surgery in December, marking another setback in his injury-plagued career.

Braxton Garrett, a left-handed pitcher for the Miami Marlins, had UCL revision surgery with an internal brace in December and will miss the entire 2025 MLB season.
Garrett struggled with multiple injuries throughout 2024, including a left shoulder impingement and a forearm flexor strain, limiting him to just seven starts with a 5.35 ERA.
The surgery follows a history of arm issues for Garrett, including Tommy John surgery in 2017, which sidelined him for over a year early in his career.
The Marlins' rotation has faced significant challenges, with Jesús Luzardo traded and other pitchers, including Sandy Alcantara and Eury Pérez, recovering from injuries or surgeries.
Miami is reportedly exploring free-agent options to bolster its pitching depth for 2025, as the team looks ahead to future rebuilding efforts.
