Opening Friday Curtiss will start Friday's game against the Mets, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old will serve as an opener for the second time this season in Friday's series opener. Curtiss has completed two innings on two occasions this season, and he's unlikely to pitch much deeper than that Friday. Jordan Holloway could be in the mix as a bulk option for Miami.

Handed loss Tuesday Curtiss (2-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers while allowing one run on two hits while striking out two over 1.2 innings.
Impact Curtiss ended a 7.2 innings scoreless streak Tuesday after he allowed the Brewers to score and re-take the lead in the fifth off of a pair of extra-base hits from Keston Hiura and Luis Urias. The 28-year-old has still been very reliable overall this year with a 2.38 ERA and a 12:0 K:BB over 11.1 innings.

Wins second consecutive game Curtiss (2-0) struck out one and allowed one hit in one inning of work, earning the win in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over Atlanta.
Impact The righty has settled in after allowing homers in his first two appearances of 2021, as he hasn't given up a run in his ensuing three outings -- lowering his ERA to 3.38 in the process. The two winning decisions -- coincidental products of his team taking the lead late in games -- likely are anomalies for Curtiss, although continued success in late-game situations may earn him more high-leverage innings and opportunities for holds, especially now that Anthony Bass has yielded the closer role to Yimi Garcia.

Earns win No. 1 on the year Curtiss (1-0) allowed one hit and struck out two over 1.2 scoreless innings, as he picked up the win Tuesday against Atlanta.
Impact Curtiss entered to begin the fifth after Pablo had reached his limit and pitched an easy 1-2-3 inning on just nine pitches. The 28-year-old came out again to start the sixth and got another quick out before surrendering a single to Austin Riley. He finished his day strong; however, as he struck out Ronald Acuna on three pitches before being taken out of the game in favor of Ross Detweiler. Curtiss has thrown back-to-back scoreless outings after allowing a run in each of his first two appearances this year, as he's lowered his ERA to 4.15 over 4.1 innings so far.

Mets-Phillies postponed after rainout miscue on Sunday

Sunday's game suspended Curtis didn't throw a pitch Sunday against the Mets before the game was suspended due to inclement weather, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 28-year-old was serving an opener Sunday for the Mets, but the teams were called off the field due to rain with one out in the top of the first inning. Curtiss should return to his bullpen role when the Marlins resume the schedule Monday in Atlanta.

Opening Sunday Curtis will serve as an opener Sunday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The 27-year-old is expected to cover two or three innings for the Marlins as inclement weather could affect the start of Sunday's contest. It's unclear if manager Don Mattingly plans to utilize a bulk reliever or go with a more traditional bullpen game after Curtiss.

Wraps up solid spring Curtiss has posted a 2.70 ERA and 9:3 K:BB over 6.2 Grapefruit League innings this spring.
Impact The right-hander was picked up from the Rays in the offseason after a breakout 2020, and Curtiss is expected to handle a fairly high-leverage role in an unsettled Marlins bullpen if he can maintain the improvements in his control and command he demonstrated last year. That may not put him in the saves picture, but at the very least, the 27-year-old should quickly record his first career hold.

Marlins trade prospect for Rays reliever John Curtiss Curtiss went 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in 17 games last year. He had a 6.30 ERA in 10 innings in the postseason for the American League champions.

Moves to Miami The Marlins acquired Curtiss from the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for first baseman Evan Edwards, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact Curtiss emerged from relative obscurity to become a key piece in the Tampa Bay bullpen in 2020, submitting a 1.80 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 22.2 K-BB% over 25 innings. The 27-year-old looked on track to factor into the setup mix for Tampa Bay in 2021, but the organization instead elected to cash him in from a minor-league prospect in Edwards to clear up space on the 40-man roster. The move to Miami should at least put Curtiss in better position to contend for saves and holds, as the Marlins' late-inning pecking order remains unsettled heading into spring training. Anthony Bass, who inked a two-year deal with Miami in the offseason, will presumably enter the spring as the frontrunner for the closer's gig, but Curtiss could eventually gain traction in the ninth inning if he's able to carry over his strong form from 2020.
