Right-handed pitcher Zach Brzykcy is set to make his Marlins debut, as Miami will be selecting his contract prior to Monday’s game with the Washington Nationals, Fish on First reported Sunday night.
Brzykcy, 0-1 with a 10.05 ERA in 32 career appearances (no starts) for the Nationals the last two seasons, has spent all of this season with Triple-A Jacksonville. He has a 5.24 ERA over 22 1/3 innings and could be in line to return to the majors against his former team, as the Marlins ran through several pitchers in a 10-1 loss to the New York Mets on Sunday.
The Marlins would need to make roster space to accommodate the move. Possibilities include right-hander Josh Ekness, seen on crutches Sunday, or left-hander Andrew Nardi (ribs), who is expected to miss three months.
Miami claimed Brzykcy off waivers when he was designated for assignment by the Nationals last November.
