Marlins Select Zach Brzykcy To Major League Roster

The club opened roster spots to add Brzykcy as short-term pitching depth following a run of injuries that has thinned its bullpen and rotation.

Overview

  • The Marlins officially added right-hander Zach Brzykcy to the big-league roster for the team’s upcoming games, with his first appearance marking his Miami debut.
  • Miami also selected right-hander Tyler Zuber and created active-roster space by optioning Josh White and placing Josh Ekness on the 15-day injured list with a calf strain.
  • To free 40-man roster spots for Brzykcy and Zuber the team transferred Andrew Nardi and Griffin Conine to the 60-day injured list after Nardi was diagnosed with a ribcage stress reaction.
  • Brzykcy arrives with mixed results: he has prior MLB work with Washington (10.05 ERA in 2024–25) and a 5.24 ERA in 22 1/3 Triple-A innings this year with a strong strikeout rate and a high walk rate.
  • The club made the moves because a string of recent injuries forced an unexpected bullpen game and left the staff thin, so these call-ups are a low-cost way to add arms who could see extended work if they eat innings and perform.
