3 years agoMiami Marlins starting pitcher
Jesus Luzardo performed admirably against the formidable Dodgers lineup Friday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out seven batters, but was left with a no-decision in the 2-1 loss as the Miami offense couldn't get much going against Los Angeles starting pitcher
Tyler Anderson. Luzardo has put together a strong August, with a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 24 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings. If he finishes the season strong, he could climb up draft boards heading into 2023.

Jesus Luzardo was excellent on Sunday in his most recent start against the Chicago Cubs. Luzardo struck out six in seven shutout innings, giving up just a hit and a walk. The 24-year-old left-hander generated 12 swinging strikes on 91 pitches against Chicago and finished with a 26% CSW rate. Of the 17 balls put in play by Cubs hitters, just five had an exit velocity north of 92 MPH. Through eight starts and 41 innings this season Luzardo now owns a 3.29 ERA and a 3.09 FIP, not to mention 52 strikeouts compared to just 17 walks allowed.

Jesus Luzardo struck out five batters in five innings against the Cincinnati Reds in his latest start on Monday. Luzardo also scattered just three hits and a pair of earned runs in five innings, throwing 81 pitches on the day. Overall, it was a solid outing for the starter, who logged 12 swinging strikes on the day and finished with a 31% CSW rate. He's now sporting a 3.97 ERA and a 3.35 FIP, to go along with 46 strikeouts and 16 walks, in 34 innings of work this season.

3 years agoMiami Marlins left-hander
Jesus Luzardo (forearm) has been activated from the 60-day injured list and is starting on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. In a corresponding move,
Jake Fishman has been designated for assignment. While Luzardo might be a little extra risky in his first major league start since May 10, but the 24-year-old southpaw needs to be rostered in most fantasy leagues. Before his early season injury, he was 2-3 with a 4.03 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP while striking out 41 and walking 16 in 29 innings over six starts. Luzardo was able to throw 75 pitches in his final minor league rehab start, so he'll probably be somewhat limited on Monday against Cincy.
