Per Craig Mish, the left-hander will miss his start due to elbow discomfort and he will go through further testing. This comes at a time when the Marlins already have three members of their rotation out due to injury.

In 2023 Luzardo <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">had a 3.58 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP in 178.2 innings pitched. The lefty was able to get hitters to swing and had 9.9K\/9. He was emerging as a new young star with the Marlins. When the news broke that Alcantara was out, Luzardo was the focus to replace him. He became the top-of-the-rotation and Opening Day starter for the Marlins. So far in 2024 though he has failed to live up to his expectations. In his five starts this season, he is 0-2 with a 6.58 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 26 innings. His most recent start against the Chicago Cubs was his best. Luzardo went six innings only earning two runs on three hits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>With four of their starting pitchers out the Marlins rotations looks to be up in the air. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/cabreed02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-04-26_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edward Cabrera<\/a> just returned from a shoulder injury last week so we could look to be seeing him more often.
