2024 Fantasy Outlook
At age 25 last season, Luzardo established himself as a legitimate frontline starter for Miami, and he may not be done ascending. He went into the All-Star break riding high, having allowed just two runs in 25.2 innings with a 35:5 K:BB in his final four starts of the first half. There was talk about what the Marlins might do to manage Luzardo's workload after injuries previously limited him to just over 100 innings in a big-league season. In the end the team didn't do anything to limit Luzardo and he soared past 180 innings when including his four-inning outing in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. It's the type of jump in innings that we're not used to seeing, and the results suffered down the stretch as the innings added up, though it's debatable whether the workload increase itself is a reason to be cautious with Luzardo entering 2024. He could be in the running to start Opening Day with Sandy Alcantara out after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Read Past Outlooks
Won't throw for six more weeks
Luzardo (back) will remain shut down from throwing for at least six more weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Luzardo had been participating in workouts throughout July that focused on strengthening his forearm and shoulder. Still, he's yet to throw since being placed on the injured list June 22, and he isn't particularly close to doing so. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Luzardo will pitch again in 2024, especially with the non-contending Marlins having little at stake as the regular season winds down. Luzardo went 3-6 with a 5.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 58:22 K:BB over 66.2 innings before landing on the IL with a lumbar stress reaction.

Bobby Miller was one of the biggest busts of the 2024 season, collapsing all the way to an 8.52 ERA.
Early-round pitching was full of busts this season, but some of the riskiest picks like Tarik Skubal and Chris Sale were also some of the best. How do we make sense of it all for 2025?
This week's injury news features Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, who both suffered lower extremity strains, which will likely be handled conservatively by the Phillies.

Heading into 2022, Luzardo was not only an injury risk, but how well he'd pitch when healthy was also unclear. A year later, he's still a health risk after making only 18 starts due to a midseason forearm strain, but Luzardo assuaged performance fears by dominating, especially late. On May 10, Luzardo was sporting a 4.03 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 41 strikeouts but 16 walks in 29 innings. He then went on the IL to return on August 1. The lefty recorded a 3.03 ERA and .98 WHIP the rest of the way, fanning 79 with only 19 walks in his final 71.1 frames. Luzardo featured a 96-mph fastball, but his changeup was most effective, generating a 25.9% swinging strike rate. Luzardo needs to maintain his improved control, and of course avoid injury, but if he does, the southpaw has a chance to fulfill the vast promise teased as he was coming up in the Athletics system.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Teams still checking in
Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today, multiple teams have touched base with the Marlins regarding Luzardo's availability despite the fact he's on the 60-day injured list with a lumbar stress reaction.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander isn't eligible to be reinstated from the IL until Aug. 18 -- well past the July 30 trade deadline -- and there's certainly no guarantee he'll be available at that point. Luzardo also struggled a bit when healthy this season with a 5.00 ERA and 7.8 K/9, though a 3.0 BB/9 and 1.25 WHIP are closer to his 2023 numbers. Between injuries and inconsistent performance this year, the 26-year-old's trade value certainly isn't at its peak. Luzardo has two more years of arbitration eligibility before hitting free agency after the 2026 campaign, so the Marlins likely won't be in a rush to trade him this summer.
