HUASCAR BRAZOBAN NEWS

Quick return to majors The Mets recalled Brazoban from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander was optioned to Syracuse on Friday, but he'll rejoin the Mets just a couple days later since Paul Blackburn (hand) was placed on the injured list. Brazoban has a 3.76 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB across 40.2 innings between the Mets and Marlins this season.

Optioned to Syracuse The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brazoban is the roster casualty following the return of Dedniel Nunez (forearm) from the injured list.

Optioned to Syracuse The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brazoban will act as the Mets' roster casualty following the return of Dedniel Nunez (forearm) from the injured list. Since being traded from Miami to New York in July, Brazoban has surrendered seven earned runs in only 10 innings -- a stark contrast in performance from the 2.93 ERA he posted in 30.2 frames with the Marlins.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Queens The Mets acquired Brazoban from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for outfield prospect Wilfredo Lara, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brazoban had primarily worked in middle relief for Miami this season and pitched well with a 2.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB over 30.2 innings. The right-hander will likely fill a similar role for the Mets.

Might get chance to close Brazoban is a candidate to step into the closer role for the Marlins in the event Tanner Scott gets traded, Kaushik Sampath of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Andrew Nardi is viewed as the top option to replace Scott, especially with A.J. Puk having been shipped to the Diamondbacks, but Brazoban might also be a factor in the ninth inning. The right-hander missed the beginning of the season due to visa issues, but since making his 2024 debut at the beginning of June he has posted a 3.14 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB through 28.2 innings. He's taken things to another level over the last month or so, giving up zero earned runs over his last eight games with a 0.79 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Brazoban hasn't seen much high-leverage work this season, however, managing only one hold and one win in 18 appearances.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Collects first hold Brazoban struck out one in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning Tuesday to record his first hold of the season in a win over the Royals.

Impact The 34-year-old right-hander didn't get a chance to break camp on the 26-man roster due to visa issues, but Brazoban has looked good since joining the Marlins at the end of May. Through nine appearances and 15.1 innings, he's posted a 2.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB, and he may be working his way into a higher-leverage role.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from IL The Marlins reinstated Brazoban (hamstring/hip) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brazoban has been on the injured list since Aug. 14 due to a strained left hamstring and also was battling a left hip impingement. He gave up three runs over 2.2 innings during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville and will serve as a bullpen depth piece as Miami fights for a playoff spot. Tanner Scott was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for rehab assignment Brazoban (hamstring/hip) is beginning a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Out since mid-August due to a left hamstring strain and left hip impingement, Brazoban might become an option again for the Marlins' bullpen leading into the final week of the regular season. He'd registered a 4.29 ERA and 60:31 K:BB across 56.2 innings prior to landing on the injured list.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws off mound Brazoban (hamstring/hip) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

Impact It's the third time Brazoban has thrown from the bump since he landed on the injured list in mid-August with a left hamstring strain and left hip impingement. It would seem as though the reliever has a good chance to make it back before the end of the season, but a timeline for his activation is uncertain.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on 15-day IL Brazoban was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brazoban suffered the injury while working in relief Sunday against the Yankees and will be sidelined through at least Aug. 29. Bryan Hoeing is joining the Marlins in a corresponding roster move.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins big club Brazoban was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The right-hander was just demoted to Triple-A on Thursday but will quickly rejoin the MLB roster since JT Chargois (ribs) was placed on the injured list. Brazoban has made 45 appearances out of Miami's bullpen this season and has a 4.13 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 53:26 K:BB over 52.1 innings.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Miami optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Impact Brazoban was charged with two earned runs while failing to record an out in his most recent appearance Wednesday versus the Phillies. Devin Smeltzer will take his spot in the Marlins' bullpen ahead of Thursday's series finale.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up third win Brazoban (3-1) recorded the win over the Cardinals on Monday, giving up a hit and a walk without being charged with a run in an inning of relief. He struck out two.

Impact After Andrew Nardi walked the leadoff hitter in the top of the seventh inning, Brazoban came out of the bullpen and allowed the inherited runner to score to give St. Louis a 4-2 lead, but Miami rallied with three runs in the bottom of the frame. Since rejoining the Marlins' bullpen in mid-June, the right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in nine innings, posting a 0.78 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over that stretch with a remarkable three wins and a hold in seven appearances.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects win over Bucs Brazoban (2-1) picked up the win in Thursday's 6-4 victory over the Pirates by retiring the only batter he faced.

Impact The right-hander took the mound with two outs and a runner aboard in the eighth inning with the Marlins down 4-1 and got Connor Joe to ground out, making Brazoban the pitcher of record when his offense broke out for five runs in the bottom of the frame. Since his return to the majors following a brief demotion to Triple-A Jacksonville earlier this month, the 33-year-old has delivered three scoreless appearances with a 3:0 K:BB over 3.1 innings, getting credited with a win in two of them.

JUNE 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Jacksonville The Marlins recalled Brazoban from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact With Edward Cabrera (shoulder) headed for the 15-day injured list, Brazoban will join the Marlins' pitching staff to provide depth to the bullpen. The 33-year-old righty began the season strong, but holds an 8.71 ERA and 2.23 WHIP across his last nine appearances. He's capable of working in multiple innings, but Brazoban offers very little fantasy value.

JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Brazoban was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Jacksonville, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Archie Bradley will join the Marlins' bullpen in a corresponding move. Brazoban threw 32 pitches over two innings of relief in Monday's series opener at Seattle and wasn't going to be available for a bit. He holds a 4.01 ERA in 28 appearances this year with Miami.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first loss Brazoban (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Rockies. He allowed a run on a hit and three walks while over one-third of an inning.

Impact After the Marlins scored four runs in the top of the ninth to tie the game 6-6, Brazoban walked three of the first four batters he faced in the bottom half before Ezequiel Tovar ended the game with a walk-off base hit. It's been a struggle for Brazoban recently -- he's allowed at least one run in each of his last four appearances, allowing seven earned runs on nine hits over 3.1 innings in that span. The 33-year-old right-hander now sports a 4.05 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB across 26.2 innings this season.

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominant relief outing Brazoban gave up two hits and struck out four in 1.1 scoreless innings of relief during Thursday's loss to Atlanta.

Impact With the Marlins down 4-3 in the sixth inning, Brazoban took over from Jesus Luzardo and struck out Ronald Acuna to end the inning and strand a runner in scoring position, before striking out the side around a pair of singles in the seventh. Brazoban has been outstanding for the Marlins to begin 2023, posting a 2.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB through 19 innings with four holds. The right-hander has worked more than one inning in eight of his 13 appearances, and his ability to deliver bulk strikeouts and strong ratios gives him some fantasy value in NL-only formats even without a path to consistent saves.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely in Opening Day bullpen Brazoban appears to be on track for a spot on the Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 33-year-old right-hander made his big-league debut in 2022, posting a 3.09 ERA and 28.4 percent strikeout rate over 32 innings while averaging 97.2 mph with his fastball. He also walked 14.9 percent of the batters he faced. Brazoban should work the middle innings for the Marlins, limiting his fantasy appeal despite his ability to miss bats.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws first bullpen session Brazoban (personal) threw his first bullpen session in Marlins camp Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brazoban had a delayed arrival to spring training because of visa issues, but those were cleared up this past Tuesday and he said he felt "a lot closer than I thought I was going to feel" during his first official workout with the team. The 33-year-old should be ready to fill a long-relief role for Miami come Opening Day.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Clears up visa issues Brazoban has solved his visa issues and is expected to arrive at Marlins camp Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact There should still be plenty of time left on the spring training calendar for Brazoban to carve out a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. He appears to be slated for a long-relief role this year with Miami after registering a 3.09 ERA and 40:21 K:BB across his first 32 major-league innings in 2022.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still yet to receive visa Brazoban is still without a visa and remains away from the Marlins as spring training gets started, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brazoban has had a tough time getting back to the States for the start of the 2023 season. If the 33-year-old cannot make it to camp relatively soon, he could lose his spot in the Marlins' bullpen this season. The right-hander appeared in 27 games with the team last season, producing a serviceable 3.09 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 40 strikeouts over 32 innings as a reliever.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Delayed start to camp Brazoban has yet to report to spring training due to visa issues, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 33-year-old right-hander made his MLB debut last season and was expected to compete for a low-leverage spot in the Marlins' bullpen this spring, but any significant delay could cost him that opportunity. Brazoban averaged 97.2 mph with his fastball and posted a solid 28.4 percent strikeout rate with a shaky 14.9 percent walk rate over 27 appearances for Miami in 2022, but he showed sharper control at Triple-A prior to his promotion.

FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted Sunday Brazoban had his contract selected by the Marlins on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Brazoban has a 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB across 45.1 innings for Triple-A Jacksonville this year, and he'll now receive his first look in the majors. The 32-year-old should fill a low-leverage role while up with the Marlins.
