Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Dealing with elbow impingement

Garrett was diagnosed with a left elbow impingement last week, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Garrett missed multiple months of action with a strained left forearm before suffering a setback with his elbow during a bullpen session in September. He is currently going through a throwing progression at the Marlins' spring training complex in Florida, and the setback isn't considered something that will jeopardize his availability for the start of spring training.

Garrett has been on the injured list since June with a strained left forearm and recently made his third rehab appearance at Triple-A Jacksonville.

Garrett built up to 59 pitches (33 strikes) in the second start of his rehab assignment, after he previously tossed three scoreless innings for Single-A Jupiter on Sept. 5. Per MLB.com, Garrett is scheduled to make another rehab start Tuesday, and assuming he gets stretched out to around five innings and 80 pitches and experiences no physical setbacks, he could be cleared to return from the 60-day injured list thereafter.

The southpaw was expected to toss around 35 pitches in the workout Saturday, though the Marlins haven't disclosed how Garrett came out of the throwing session. Garrett looks as though he'll have a chance to pitch again for the Marlins in 2024, but he may not have enough time to get fully stretched back out for a starting role. Whether he returns as a starter or reliever, Garrett will likely need to complete at least one or two minor-league rehab appearances before being activated from the 60-day injured list.
