Munoz, 24, posted a 6.53 ERA and 70:42 K:BB over 82.2 innings in 2024, serving up a whopping 26 home runs. The right-hander will provide rotation depth in St. Louis.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Optioned to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Munoz was lit up for six earned runs on seven hits (including three home runs) and a walk in just 1.1 innings Tuesday, and he'll now head back to the minors in an effort to get back on track. Xzavion Curry was recalled from Jacksonville in a corresponding move, though it remains unclear if he will replace Munoz in the Marlins' rotation going forward.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Lasts just 3.1 frames vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Munoz allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Munoz struggled with his control in the outing, throwing just 40 of 73 pitches for strikes. The right-hander lasted exactly 3.1 innings for the second consecutive start and has failed to get out of the fourth frame in three of his past four appearances. Walks have been a big issue for Munoz of late -- he's issued exactly three free passes in each of those three short outings. His 4.5 BB/9 is sixth worst among MLB hurlers who have thrown at least 70 innings this season.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Settles for no-decision Saturday
Rotowire
Munoz came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Padres, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.
The rookie right-hander left the game after 87 pitches (53 strikes) with the Marlins ahead 7-3, but the bullpen couldn't secure the win for him. Munoz hasn't lasted more than five innings in five straight outings, posting a poor 6.08 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through 23.2 innings over that stretch, but Miami doesn't have any better, healthier options to replace him in the rotation. He lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend against the Mets.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Earns second win
Rotowire
Munoz (2-5) picked up the win Wednesday over Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.
Munoz allowed a run in both of the first two innings on a Christopher Morel homer and a Jonny DeLuca RBI triple. However, the 24-year-old right-hander would settle in and blank the Rays over his final three frames while recording seven strikeouts, matching a season high. Munoz now sports a 5.45 ERA at the big-league level this year with a 1.38 WHIP and 57:32 K:BB across 66 innings. He figures to remain in Miami's rotation after Trevor Rogers was traded to the Orioles, and with that, Munoz's next outing is currently lined up for early next week at home versus the Reds.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Munoz had been optioned to Jacksonville on Friday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Marlins without making an appearance in the minors since he'll be replacing one of the many players that Miami traded away ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The banged-up Marlins still have plenty of holes in their rotation, so Munoz could step back into a starting role as soon as Wednesday at Tampa Bay or Thursday at Atlanta. He holds a 5.61 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 50:31 K:BB over 61 innings in the majors in 2024.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Returning to starting role Thursday
Rotowire
Munoz is slated to start Thursday's game against the Astros in Houston.
In his last appearance Friday against the White Sox, Munoz piggybacked starter Bryan Hoeing for four innings, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters over his 87 pitches. Both Munoz and Hoeing will get their own starts this week, as Hoeing is slated to toe the rubber Wednesday while Munoz gets the ball for the series finale. Munoz holds a 5.48 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 40:24 K:BB through 44.1 innings in the majors this season.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Shifts to relief role
Rotowire
Munoz gave up two runs on four hits and four walks over four innings of relief in Friday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. He struck out two.
The rookie right-hander was deployed as the back half of a tandem with Bryan Hoeing, who came off the IL on Friday and took the loss during a game in which Miami never led. Munoz's control remains an issue, and he's walked multiple batters in seven of his nine big-league appearances so far, leading to a 5.48 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 40:24 K:BB over 44.1 innings. It's not clear how the Marlins plan to use Munoz from here, but if he remains on turn he would next take the mound on the road next week in Houston, either as a starter or bulk reliever.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Solid in no-decision
Rotowire
Munoz came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Phillies, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.
The rookie right-hander exited the game after 79 pitches (50 strikes) in line for his fourth loss, despite the fact the Munoz allowed fewer than three runs for only the second time in his last six starts. A late rally by the Marlins took him off the hook, however. Munoz will take a 5.58 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 38:20 K:BB through 40.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the White Sox.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Crushed by Cards
Rotowire
Munoz escaped with a no-decision in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks over four innings. He struck out three.
The rookie right-hander wasn't able to build on an impressive performance against the Mets his last time out, and Munoz served up multiple homers for the fourth time in his six big-league starts this season. He's been taken deep 11 times in only 29.2 innings, fueling a 5.76 ERA, but the Marlins' injury issues in the rotation give them few options to replace him. Munoz will try to keep the ball in the park in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Kansas City.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Making another start
Rotowire
Munoz is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville earlier in the weekend and started in Saturday's loss to the Guardians. He gave up four runs over four innings during that outing and has a 5.95 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB over 19.2 frames in his four starts for the Marlins on the season, but he'll get at least one more turn through the rotation while Miami waits for the likes of Edward Cabrera (shoulder), Ryan Weathers (finger) and Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) to return from the injured list.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Struggles versus Guardians
Rotowire
Munoz (1-2) allowed four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over four-plus innings to take the loss versus the Guardians on Saturday.
Munoz made his first big-league appearance in over a month, but he didn't pitch particularly well. He allowed a solo home run to Jose Ramirez in the first inning, and Steven Kwan's two-run blast in the fifth ended Munoz's outing. Through 19.2 innings, the rookie right-hander has a 5.95 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB. It's unclear if Munoz will stay in the rotation, but the Marlins have lost Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) and Ryan Weathers (finger) in June, so they will need to dip into their starting depth.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: In line to start Saturday
Rotowire
Munoz is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Saturday versus the Guardians, Nate Karzmer of Fishon First.com reports.
The Marlins have an opening in their rotation with No. 5 starter Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) recently going on the injured list. Munoz has collected a 5.17 ERA and 19:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings covering three starts with the Marlins this season. He was roughed up for seven runs (six earned) in 6.1 innings in his most recent start for Jacksonville against Durham on June 1, but Munoz blanked Gwinnett over eight innings in his start before that back on May 26.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
Munoz will head back to the minors after giving up six earned runs in 4.2 innings during Monday's loss to the Dodgers. George Soriano was recalled from Jacksonville to fill Munoz's roster spot, though Jesus Luzardo (elbow) and Braxton Garrett (shoulder) could return from their rehab assignments within the next several days to help fill the open spot in Miami's rotation.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Shines in second big-league start
Rotowire
Munoz (1-0) earned the win over Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.
Munoz was recalled from the minors Wednesday to make the start in place of Jesus Luzardo, who is on the IL with an elbow injury. The right-handed rookie was solid in his MLB debut April 20, allowing two runs with seven punchouts over five frames, and he was even better Wednesday, holding the Rockies scoreless until the sixth inning and picking up both his first career victory and first career quality start. Munoz hasn't fared well in Triple-A this season -- he has an ugly 8.62 ERA and 9:14 K:BB over 15.2 frames -- so his success with the Marlins so far is somewhat surprising. That said, he's certainly pitched well enough to earn another start, though his opportunity to do so may depend on when Braxton Garrett (shoulder) is ready to return to the rotation and/or on whether the Marlins prefer to opt for a bullpen game at some point with the team's next off day not slated until May 9.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Munoz will start Wednesday's game versus the Rockies in place of the injured Jesus Luzardo (elbow). The right-hander pitched well in a spot start last month in his major-league debut, allowing two runs with seven strikeouts over five innings. Munoz has had a disastrous season at Jacksonville, however, holding an 8.62 ERA and 9:14 K:BB in 15.2 frames. He's not a recommended streaming option even in a favorable matchup.

Munoz allowed two runs and struck out seven batters across five innings during his first MLB start April 20 against the Cubs. He hasn't found much success in the minors, however, posting an 8.62 ERA and 1.84 WHIP across 15.2 frames this season.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Pitches well in MLB debut
Rotowire
Munoz didn't factor in the decision during Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs. He struck out seven and allowed two runs on two hits and a walk over five innings.
The 24-year-old surrendered a pair of solo homers but otherwise kept Chicago off the board in his MLB debut. Munoz exited in line for the victory, but the bullpen couldn't maintain a 3-2 advantage. The right-hander issued just one walk, which is a stark contrast to the 7:12 K:BB he posted across his three outings for Triple-A Jacksonville. Munoz was recalled as the 27th man for the doubleheader and should return to Jacksonville, but he likely pitched well enough to put him on the shortlist of potential call-ups when Miami needs rotation help later in the season.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Dispatched to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Now a part of his fourth organization in less than a year after the Marlins acquired him in December, Munoz retains a spot on Miami's 40-man roster but will need to distinguish himself in the minors before he garners his first big-league call-up. While splitting most of his time between Atlanta and Washington's Triple-A affiliates in 2023, the 23-year-old compiled a 5.42 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 81:53 K:BB across 78 innings.
