Curry (2-2) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with one strikeout over five innings.
Curry drew his first start since July 23 and rebounded from a solo homer in the first inning with four scoreless frames. The 26-year-old generated just two whiffs on 65 pitches but fired 42 strikes and limited hard contact. He'll finish the season with a 4.64 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB across 42.2 innings with the Guardians and Marlins.

Marlins' Xzavion Curry: Scoops up win in relief
Rotowire
Curry (1-2) struck out two over 1.2 perfect innings of relief and was credited with a win Sunday in the Marlins' 7-5 victory over the Giants.
After covering five innings with Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 23, Curry looked to be a candidate to fill the vacant fifth spot in the Miami rotation following his call-up Wednesday, but the Marlins instead turned to Darren McCaughan on Sunday to fill the opening. Curry, who retired both batters he faced in relief during Saturday's 4-3 win, has yet to allow a baserunner in 2.1 innings with Miami.

Marlins' Xzavion Curry: Recalled from Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Curry from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins optioned Roddery Munoz to Triple-A following his poor start Tuesday, so Curry will now come up from the minors and could potentially claim the fifth spot in the rotation. The 26-year-old righty owns a 5.84 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 24.2 innings in the big leagues this season and hasn't performed well at Triple-A either (6.82 ERA, 1.48 WHIP through 60.2 innings).

Marlins' Xzavion Curry: Claimed by Miami
Rotowire
The Marlins claimed Curry off waivers from the Guardians on Friday.
Curry holds a 4.53 ERA and 85:41 K:BB in 129 innings over the last three seasons while operating in a swingman role for Cleveland. It appears he will report to Triple-A Jacksonville for now, but the righty may well get another shot at the big leagues before long given the state of the Marlins' rotation.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Guardians designated Curry for assignment Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Anthony Gose. Curry has had uninspiringly results as a swingman with the Guardians over the past three seasons, posting a 4.53 ERA and 85:41 K:BB over 129 innings.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians optioned Curry to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday
The right-hander was dropped from Cleveland's starting rotation last week, and he'll head to Triple-A after he allowed four runs over three innings out of the bullpen Saturday. Curry has a 5.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB across 24.2 frames in the majors this season.
Curry won't start Sunday's game against the Phillies as previously scheduled, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The 26-year-old was initially penciled in to start Sunday, but the Guardians have instead called up Joey Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus to make his MLB debut. Curry allowed two runs over 4.1 innings during his previous start and has a 4.98 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 21.2 big-league innings this season. Matthew Boyd (elbow) is also nearing a return from the injured list, so Curry may not have many opportunities to start going forward and could move to the bullpen on a permanent basis.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Stays in rotation
Rotowire
Curry is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Curry will make his second straight turn through the rotation after he previously picked up his fourth start of the season with the Guardians -- and his first since May 27 -- on Tuesday against the Tigers. Since he had been building up as a starter at Triple-A Columbus prior to getting plugged into the big-league rotation coming out of the All-Star break, Curry had light workload limitations in place Tuesday, when he took a no-decision after giving up two earned runs over 4.1 innings and 62 pitches. Curry should be capable of working deeper into Sunday's contest, though it will be contingent on him keeping a potent Phillies lineup at bay.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Goes 4.1 innings in start
Rotowire
Curry didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Tigers, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out one batter.
Curry held Detroit off the board through his first three innings before surrendering a two-run homer to Wenceel Perez in the fourth. The 25-year-old Curry's logged a mediocre 4.98 ERA over 21.2 innings in the majors this season with a 1.25 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB, though he was impressive with Triple-A Columbus while posting a 2.21 ERA in his last four minor-league outings. Curry could remain in the Guardians rotation until Matthew Boyd (elbow) is ready to to be activated from the injured list. Curry currently lines up for a tough road matchup with the Phillies this weekend.
Curry is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Tigers in Cleveland.
Curry will enter the rotation as a replacement for Spencer Howard, who took the hill the last time the Guardians required a fifth starter July 11. Howard has since been designated for assignment, but Curry may prove to be just a stopgap in the rotation until Matthew Boyd (elbow) returns from the injured list, or until the Guardians see enough improvement at Triple-A Columbus from struggling starters Triston McKenzie or Logan Allen to bring either back to the big leagues. Curry has previously made three starts for Cleveland this season, turning in a 5.68 ERA and 8:3 K:BB in 12.2 innings over those outings.
The Guardians recalled Curry from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.
Curry will join the active roster in place of Sam Hentges (shoulder), who's been placed on the injured list. Curry has logged a 5.74 ERA across 15.2 innings with the Guardians this season.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Handed loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Curry (0-2) allowed two runs on three hits and struck out one without walking a batter over three innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Orioles.
This was Curry's first appearance since he was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Monday. He spared the Guardians' bullpen in Wednesday's contest, but solo home runs by Cedric Mullins and Ryan O'Hearn were enough to stick Curry with the loss. The right-hander has struggled in limited major-league action this year with a 5.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB over 15.2 innings across four appearances (three starts). Given his poor results, Curry could be optioned out again whenever Cleveland needs a fresh arm.
The Guardians recalled Curry from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Curry will provide Cleveland's bullpen with some length. The right-hander holds a 5.68 ERA and 8:3 K:BB over 12.2 frames covering three starts for the Guardians this season.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians optioned Curry to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Curry was shelled for six earned runs in 3.1 innings during his last outing Monday, and the return of Eli Morgan (shoulder) from the injured list will leave the former as the odd man out of Cleveland's pitching staff. The 25-year-old Curry owns a 5.68 ERA through three starts in the majors and has performed even worse in Triple-A (8.79 ERA), though he still could return to Cleveland this year if a spot opens up in the big-league rotation.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Tagged with six runs
Rotowire
Curry (0-1) allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and two walks over 3.1 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Rockies.
Curry gave up one run through three frames before a disastrous fourth inning. The Rockies piled on six runs, capped off by Charlie Blackmon's three-run homer. Curry gave up two runs through 9.1 innings in his first two MLB starts this season but saw his ERA jump to 5.68 after Monday's rough outing. He's currently in line for a home matchup with the Nationals this weekend, but it's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

Guardians' Xzavion Curry: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Curry is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.
With Carlos Carrasco (neck) recently joining the likes of Gavin Williams (elbow) and Shane Bieber (elbow) on the injured list, Curry will end up getting at least one more turn through the rotation. After being called up from Triple-A Columbus last Tuesday, Curry started later that day against the Mets and gave up two runs on seven hits and zero walks over 4.1 innings in a no-decision. He'll tentatively line up for two starts this week, with his second turn expected to come next Sunday versus the Nationals.
