Andrew

Nardi

Brzykcy has a 5.24 ERA in 22 1/3 innings at Triple-A this season with a 26/12 K/BB ratio. He’s in his first season with Miami after spending his whole career in Washington. Andrew Nardi (ribs) was moved to the 60-day IL to create a roster spot.

Nardi was placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to May 28 over the weekend, but it’ll be a lot longer than two weeks before the 27-year-old returns. Assuming no setbacks, he could be an option for the Miami bullpen around the end of August.

It’s a bit unclear how much time Nardi is going to miss, but it could wind up being a lengthy absence given the nature of the injury. The 27-year-old southpaw hits the shelf after posting a lackluster 5.16 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 27/11 K/BB ratio across 22 2/3 innings for the Marlins this season.

The session included one up/down, simulating a break in-between innings. 27-year-old hurler wound up missing the entire 2025 season due to a lower back issue that cropped up during spring training. If healthy, he could provide a major and unexpected boost to the Marlins’ bullpen heading into 2026.

Both hurlers finished the season on the 60-day injured list, Nardi due to inflammation in his lower back and Tinoco due to a right forearm strain. Nardi suffered the back injury during spring training and simply never made it all the way back. It’s possible that the Marlins could attempt to bring him back on a minor league deal if he is indeed non-tendered.

Nardi will be on the shelf until at least late May, The 26-year-old lefty has been a key component of Miami’s relief mix over the last two season, racking up 122 appearances during that span.

Nardi was rehabbing from an elbow issue, but the left-hander now will be shut down and be reevaluated in the coming days. A trip to the injured list to begin the 2025 season seems more likely than not at this point.

McCullough told reporters that something “flared” up with Nardi, and that the team is awaiting clarity before taking the next steps. The 26-year-old missed the final month-plus of 2024 with a muscle injury in his left elbow, but is expected to help the Miami bullpen at some point in 2025.

Nardi will miss the rest of the season with a left elbow injury. The 26-year-old southpaw finishes the year with a 5.07 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 70/18 K/BB ratio across 49 2/3 innings (59 appearances).

No word yet on the severity of the issue, which will determine how much time Nardi is going to miss. With just a few weeks left in the season, it’s possible he’s done for the year. The 26-year-old lefty has made 59 relief appearances this season for the Marlins, compiling a serviceable 5.07 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 70/18 K/BB ratio across 49 2/3 innings of work.
