Manager Clayton McCullough mentioned Janson Junk and Connor Gillispie as the two guys they plan to stretch out to presumably fill in the 4 and 5 spots in the rotation. #Marlins

Fantasy Impact:

Junk’s 6 runs and 10:4 K:BB in 10.1 spring innings, with a prior 6.75 MLB ERA over 15 outings, position him for the Marlins’ rotation post-Weathers and Edward Cabrera injuries, alongside Connor Gillispie. The 29-year-old steps up. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should roster him, banking on his stretched-out arm for early starts in Miami’s 2025 rotation if he secures the role.
