Quality start in no-decision Junk took a no-decision in Friday's extra-innings win at Texas, yielding one run on three hits and no walks over seven innings with five strikeouts.

Impact The Miami right-hander tossed 91 total pitches, generating nine whiffs, to notch his second straight quality start and sixth of the season. The lone blemish on Junk's line came in the second with a run scored an infield single by Josh Jung. Across 105.1 total frames, the 29-year-old has pitched to a 4.27 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 73:13 K:BB while conceding only eight homers. Junk is currently slated to next take the mound in the Marlins' upcoming road series against Philadelphia next week.

Fires quality start Saturday Junk didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 extra-innings win over the Tigers, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

Impact Making his second start since being activated from a brief IL stint, the right-hander produced his sixth quality start of the season on 88 pitches (58 strikes). Junk did serve up another homer, his seventh in seven trips to the mound since the beginning of August -- a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 6.39 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB in 38 innings. He'll look for his first win since Aug. 6 in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend against the Rangers.

Pummeled in return Junk (6-3) took the loss Monday against Washington, conceding six runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings with three strikeouts.

Impact The Miami right-hander looked rusty as he returned from an elbow injury that kept him out since Aug. 27. Junk completely unraveled in the fifth, as he allowed four of the first five batters to reach before being lifted for reliever Seth Martinez. After posting a 2.68 ERA in his first 50.1 frames this season, Junk has struggled since, producing a dreadful 6.64 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB over 42 innings. He is currently slated to make his next start at home against the playoff-bound Tigers this weekend.

Activated ahead of Monday's start The Marlins activated Junk (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Impact Junk will rejoin the rotation Monday with a start against the Nationals after missing a couple weeks with right ulnar nerve irritation in his pitching elbow. The right-hander threw 61 pitches in his lone rehab outing, so he will likely be facing a bit of a limited workload Monday.

Cleared to return Monday Junk (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Monday against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Junk pitched well in what will be his lone rehab start, striking out eight over five innings of one-run ball Tuesday at Triple-A Jacksonville. The right-hander has been sidelined since late August with right ulnar nerve irritation in his pitching elbow. Junk has collected a 4.09 ERA and 61:10 K:BB over 88 innings covering 12 starts and five relief appearances for Miami in 2025.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in rehab start Junk (elbow) struck out eight and allowed one earned run on three hits and no walks over five innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Impact Back on the mound for the first time since landing on the injured list Aug. 27 due to right ulnar nerve irritation, Junk tossed 61 pitches and performed about as well as Miami could have hoped during the Triple-A outing. Assuming he bounces back well from his between-starts bullpen session, Junk could be cleared to return from the IL to re-enter the Miami rotation Sunday versus the Phillies or for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals.

Cleared for rehab start Junk (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Impact Junk just landed on the 15-day injured list last week due to right ulnar nerve irritation, so it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to pitch in a game. The right-hander is eligible for activation Sept. 8 and has a good shot to return on that date or soon after, if all goes well.

Out with ulnar nerve irritation The Marlins placed Junk on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right ulnar nerve irritation.

Impact Junk departed his most recent start Saturday against the Blue Jays with discomfort in his pitching arm, and he's subsequently been diagnosed with the ulnar nerve issue. The righty will be eligible for activation Sept. 8, but it's too soon to know whether he has a chance to be ready to go on that date.

Departs start with arm discomfort Junk left Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in the sixth inning due to right arm discomfort, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

Impact Junk didn't have the chance to finish the sixth inning, ending his start having allowed three runs on six hits and one walk across 5.2 innings. He struck out three batters. Junk's departure came after 92 pitches. Expect the 29-year-old to undergo further evaluations throughout the next 24 hours or so. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Thursday against the Mets.

Lasts seven innings against Red Sox Junk didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Boston, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk across seven innings. He struck out six.

Impact Junk had completed exactly five innings in each of his previous five starts, and he tied his season high in innings pitched. The outing also marked Junk's fourth quality start of the campaign. 2025 has been the 29-year-old's first extended look as an MLB starter, and he's posted a 4.04 ERA and a 58:9 K:BB across 82.1 innings on the year. Junk is tentatively scheduled to pitch next weekend against the Blue Jays.

Hit hard in no-decision Junk came away with a no-decision Tuesday against the Guardians, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings as the Marlins lost 4-3. He struck out two without walking a bat...

Impact Four of the six hits off Junk went for extra bases, including back-to-back solo shots by Jose Ramirez and Kyle Manzardo in the first inning. The right-hander was taken off the hook for his seventh loss of the season when Miami was able to tie the game at 3-3 in the fifth frame. Junk hasn't recorded an out in the sixth inning since the All-Star break, working exactly five innings in each of his last five starts while stumbling to a 6.84 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB. He could get bumped aside by top prospect Robby Snelling at some point, but for the moment Junk lines up to make his next start on the road this weekend in Boston.

AUGUST 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Up and down in sixth win Junk (6-2) recorded the win Wednesday against the Astros, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.

Impact Junk gave up a pair of runs in the opening frame but was able to settle down afterwards, tossing four innings of one-run ball the rest of the way. Although the right-hander is without a quality start in any his last four outings, he's pitched at least five innings in seven consecutive appearances. Junk will take a solid 3.97 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 50:8 K:BB across 70.1 innings into his next scheduled start, which is set to come in Cleveland against the Guardians.

Falters after strong start Junk took a no-decision Friday against the Yankees, allowing six runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

Impact After throwing three spotless innings to begin his outing, Junk was tagged for six runs over his final two frames of work. The six runs allowed also set a season high for the 29-year-old right-hander, who did manage to toss at least five innings in his sixth consecutive start. Junk still owns a decent 3.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 48:6 K:BB over 65.1 frames, but his streaming appeal could be limited in a tough matchup at home versus the first-pace Astros next week.

AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out five in win Junk (5-2) earned the win against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and no walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Impact Junk allowed four doubles but just five hard-hit balls overall while generating an impressive 14 whiffs on 86 pitches. The 29-year-old has now surrendered seven earned runs in his past two starts after giving up just two through his first three July outings, though he'll still finish the month with a solid 2.79 ERA over 29 innings. He'll carry a 3.28 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 44:5 K:BB across 60.1 frames into a home matchup with the Yankees next weekend.
