Claimed by St. Louis The Cardinals claimed Munoz off waivers from the Marlins on Friday.

Impact Munoz, 24, posted a 6.53 ERA and 70:42 K:BB over 82.2 innings in 2024, serving up a whopping 26 home runs. The right-hander will represent rotation depth in St. Louis.

Optioned to Jacksonville The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Munoz was lit up for six earned runs on seven hits (including three home runs) and a walk in just 1.1 innings during his performance Tuesday, and he'll now head back to the minors in an effort to get back on track. Xzavion Curry was recalled from Jacksonville in a corresponding move, though it remains unclear if he will replace Munoz in the Marlins' rotation going forward.

Can't keep ball down Munoz allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 1.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.

Impact Munoz had given up eight homers over his last six starts, so a visit to the thin air of Colorado was a recipe for disaster. He gave up back-to-back home runs to begin the first inning and then allowed another in the second. The Marlins' ninth-inning rally spared him the loss, but Munoz continues to look overmatched in the majors. He's allowed at least three runs in five straight starts and now has a 6.53 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 70:42 K:BB through 82.2 innings over 18 appearances (17 starts) this season. He's also given up 26 homers, making him one of two pitchers this year to have allowed 20 or more long balls in fewer than 100 innings, along with Cleveland's Logan Allen. Munoz is tentatively projected to make his next start at San Francisco.

Lasts just 3.1 frames vs. Arizona Munoz allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Impact Munoz struggled with his control in the outing, throwing just 40 of 73 pitches for strikes. The right-hander lasted exactly 3.1 innings for the second consecutive start and has failed to get out of the fourth frame in three of his past four appearances. Walks have been a big issue for Munoz of late -- he's issued exactly three free passes in each of those three short outings. His 4.54 BB/9 is sixth-worst among MLB hurlers who have thrown at least 70 innings this season.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers seventh loss Munoz (2-7) took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out five.

Impact Despite generating 13 whiffs out of 93 pitches, Munoz allowed three or more earned runs for the fourth time in six second half starts. Over that span, the rookie right-hander has pitched to a 6.66 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 27 innings, as he has failed to reach to the sixth inning in any of those outings. Things don't get easier for Munoz in his upcoming start -- he's scheduled to face a scorching hot Arizona team at home next week.

Settles for no-decision Saturday Munoz came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Padres, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out three without walking a batt...

Impact The rookie right-hander left the game after 87 pitches (53 strikes) with the Marlins ahead 7-3, but the bullpen couldn't secure the win for him. Munoz hasn't lasted more than five innings in five straight outings, posting a poor 6.08 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through 23.2 innings over that stretch, but Miami doesn't have any better, healthier options to replace him in the rotation. He lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend against the Mets.

AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Roughed up by Reds Munoz (2-6) took the loss Monday against the Reds. He allowed six runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Munoz fell victim to the long ball on Monday, allowing multiple home runs in a start for the seventh time in 13 outings this season. The rookie right-hander was coming off his second win of the season but fell back to earth on Monday. Munoz has now allowed at least four runs in seven starts this season and has seen his ERA climb to 5.68 across 69.2 innings.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns second win Munoz (2-5) picked up the win Wednesday over Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Munoz allowed a run in each of the first two innings on a Christopher Morel homer and Jonny DeLuca's RBI triple. However, the 24-year-old right-hander would settle in and blank the Rays over his final three frames while recording seven strikeouts, matching a season high. Munoz now sports a 5.45 ERA at the big-league level this year with a 1.38 WHIP and 57:32 K:BB across 66 innings. He figures to remain in Miami's rotation after Trevor Rogers was traded to the Orioles. Munoz's next outing is currently lined up for early next week at home versus the Reds.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining rotation Wednesday Munoz will start Wednesday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact After getting roughed up for six earned runs in five innings in a no-decision against the Orioles this past Thursday, Munoz was sent to Triple-A Jacksonville a day later. He didn't end up making any appearances for Jacksonville and will step right back into the Miami rotation after being recalled Tuesday in the wake of Trevor Rogers being traded to the Orioles. With six Miami starting pitchers currently residing on the 60-day injured list, Munoz should build up some job security if he's able to come through with a credible performance against the Rays.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Munoz will give the Marlins a fresh arm following the trade deadline exodus from their roster. It's not clear whether the team plans to use him as a starter, reliever, or both.

JULY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Impact Munoz surrendered six runs in five innings during a start against the Orioles on Thursday and was removed from the active roster. Since being recalled June 8, Munoz logged a 5.76 ERA in 45.1 innings for Miami.

JULY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hit hard by Orioles Munoz allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Thursday.

Impact Munoz struggled to keep the ball in the park Thursday, as three of the six hits against him were homers. He departed with a 6-0 deficit but managed to escape with a no-decision thanks to a late Miami rally. The right-hander entered the contest having not allowed a long ball in three straight outings, though home runs have been an issue for him most of the campaign -- he's yielded multiple homers in six of his 12 outings overall. Munoz has managed to stick in the rotation despite a 5.61 ERA, as Miami doesn't have many other options due to a slew of injuries to its starting staff.

JULY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stuck with tough loss Munoz (1-5) took the loss Saturday as the Marlins fell 1-0 to the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact The rookie right-hander tossed 44 of 74 pitches for strikes in one of his best big-league outings to date, but the Miami offense gave him no support at all. Munoz's control remains an issue -- he's issued multiple walks in six straight outings, stumbling to a 5.64 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 20:17 K:BB through 30.1 innings over that stretch. The Marlins have little choice but to leave him in their injury-ravaged rotation however, and Munoz is scheduled to make his next start at home next week against the Orioles.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes fourth loss Munoz (1-4) was charged with the loss against the Astros on Thursday, allowing six runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings while striking out two.

Impact The Astros were able to get to Munoz early, tagging him for runs in four of his first five innings of work, though only four of the six runs that came across would be charged to the right-hander. The 24-year-old then went on to retire six consecutive batters to close out his night, before being relieved by Andrew Nardi with two outs in the seventh. Munoz has now surrendered multiple runs and two or more walks in five consecutive outings (though he came out in relief in his previous outing) and hasn't picked up a win since May 1 against the Rockies.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to starting role Thursday Munoz is slated to start Thursday's game against the Astros in Houston.

Impact In his last appearance Friday against the White Sox, Munoz piggybacked starter Bryan Hoeing for four innings, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters over his 87 pitches. Both Munoz and Hoeing will get their own starts this week, as Hoeing is slated to toe the rubber Wednesday while Munoz gets the ball for the series finale. Munoz holds a 5.48 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 40:24 K:BB through 44.1 innings in the majors this season.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to relief role Munoz gave up two runs on four hits and four walks over four innings of relief in Friday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. He struck out two.

Impact The rookie right-hander was deployed as the back half of a tandem with Bryan Hoeing, who came off the IL on Friday and took the loss during a game in which Miami never led. Munoz's control remains an issue, and he's walked multiple batters in seven of his nine big-league appearances so far, leading to a 5.48 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 40:24 K:BB over 44.1 innings. It's not clear how the Marlins plan to use Munoz from here, but if he remains on turn he would next take the mound on the road next week in Houston, either as a starter or bulk reliever.

JULY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to relief role Munoz gave up two runs on four hits and four walks over four innings of relief in Friday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. He struck out two.

JULY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in no-decision Munoz came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Phillies, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The rookie right-hander exited the game after 79 pitches (50 strikes) in line for his fourth loss, despite the fact the Munoz allowed fewer than three runs for only the second time in his last six starts. A late rally by the Marlins took him off the hook, however. Munoz will take a 5.58 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 38:20 K:BB through 40.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the White Sox.

JUNE 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In line to start Saturday Munoz is likely to be recalled to start Saturday versus the Guardians, Nate Karzmer of the Fish Unfiltered podcast reports.

Impact Karzmer dropped the news following an interview with Marlins manager Skip Schumaker, although it's not clear whether Schumaker is the one who tipped Karzmer off. It's the rotation spot vacated by the injured Sixto Sanchez (shoulder). Munoz has collected a 5.17 ERA and 19:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings covering three starts with the Marlins this season.

JUNE 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Washington Washington claimed Munoz off waivers from Atlanta on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.

Impact Before designating Munoz for assignment last week, Atlanta appeared to have abandoned the idea of developing the right-hander as a starter, as he was deployed in relief in all but four of his 22 appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett, Double-A Mississippi and the rookie-level Florida Complex League this season while pitching to a 3.89 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:27 K:BB across 39.1 innings. The 23-year-old boasts a mid-90s fastball and a plus slider, and that two-pitch mix could be enough for him to emerge as a useful relief prospect down the road. Though he'll stay at the Triple-A level with his new organization, Munoz should at least have an easier pathway to reaching the big leagues with Washington.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Designated for assignment Atlanta designated Munoz for assignment Thursday.

Impact After putting up a 4.28 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through 27.1 frames to begin the season in Triple-A Gwinnett, Munoz will be cast off Atlanta's 40-man roster. The move makes room for Lucas Luetge, who was selected to Atlanta's active roster from Gwinnett on Thursday. It's possible Munoz is claimed by another team looking for bullpen help, but he now appears in line to finish 2023 in the minors.

JULY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Triple-A Atlanta optioned Munoz to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact Munoz was only up in Atlanta's bullpen for a couple of days and did not make an appearance. The 23-year-old right-hander has posted a 4.94 ERA and 24:20 K:BB in 27.1 innings this season between Double-A and Triple-A.

JUNE 6, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Officially added to roster Munoz was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact Munoz has just a 4.63 ERA and 21:16 K:BB across 23.1 innings at Gwinnett this season, but he yielded only one run with a 14:7 K:BB over his last 11 frames. He'll be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game.
