In his three games with the Marlins this season, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/04\/03\/25-year-old-prospect-shines\/\" target=\"_self\">25-year-old prospect<\/a> has a\u00a0 2-0 record with a 2.12 ERA and a 0.824 WHIP in 17 innings pitched.

He has a 3.16 ERA with a 1.403 WHIP and 23 strikeouts in 25 2\/3 innings. His most recent start came against the Braves where he went 5 2\/3 innings and gave up three runs with only one strikeout. His best start would come against the red-hot New York Yankees, and he would go five scoreless innings with one strikeout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Edward Cabrera<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/cabreed02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-24_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edward Cabrera<\/a> began the 2024 season on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/04\/15\/edward-cabrera-returns-injury\/\" target=\"_self\">injured list<\/a> with a right shoulder impingement, the same injury that got him sidelined in 2023. In his first start back, he faced the San Francisco Giants and went six innings, only allowing one run and 10 strikeouts. Unfortunately, the Marlins would not win that game due to their dormant offense. So far in two games he has a 3.27 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 11 innings. Hopefully, he can be another valuable addition to the Marlins rotation, which they are in dire need of.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Trevor Rogers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=rogertr01,rogers002tre&amp;search=Trevor+Rogers&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-24_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trevor Rogers<\/a> has a 0-3 record, he has had five quality starts that just could not be backed up by the Marlins offense. In his five starts, he has a 4.10 ERA, a 1.519 WHIP, and 25 strikeouts in 26 1\/3 innings pitched. His best outing came against the Giants where he went 5 2\/3 innings pitched, allowing one run on four hits with six strikeouts. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully he can uphold this low ERA and become a reliable starter for the Marlins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his major league debut, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/munozro01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-24_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roddery Mu\u00f1oz<\/a> went five innings and only allowed two runs with seven strikeouts.
