"The Marlins have claimed right-hander Zach Brzykcy off waivers from the Nationals, per a club announcement. Miami also passed right-hander Christian Roa and infielder Jack Winkler through waivers. Both were assigned outright to Triple-A Jacksonville. Additionally, the Fish reinstated lefties Braxton Garrett and Andrew Nardi and righties Anthony Bender and from the 60-day injured list. Washington signed the now-26-year-old Brzykcy (pronounced brick-see) as an undrafted free agent following the truncated 2020 amateur draft."
"He's seen fairly brief action in each of the past two big league seasons, allowing 32 runs in just 28 2/3 innings of relief. Brzykcy posted strong minor league numbers in 2022 and 2024 but missed the 2023 season due to Tommy John surgery."
"His 2025 results with Rochester weren't any better than they were in the majors, but in '24 he logged 35 1/3 innings with a 2.04 ERA, a 33.1% strikeout rate and a 10.8% walk rate across four levels as he worked his way back from that ligament procedure. Brzykcy still has a minor league option year remaining, and he'll hope that a change of scenery can get him back to the minor league form he displayed prior to this year's dismal showing."
Miami claimed right-hander Zach Brzykcy off waivers from Washington and assigned Christian Roa and Jack Winkler outright to Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins reinstated left-handers Braxton Garrett and Andrew Nardi and right-handers Anthony Bender and another right-hander from the 60-day injured list. Brzykcy, 26, was signed as an undrafted free agent after the shortened 2020 amateur draft and has allowed 32 runs in 28 2/3 major-league innings across the past two seasons. He missed 2023 following Tommy John surgery but posted strong minor-league numbers in 2022 and 2024, including a 2.04 ERA and a 33.1% strikeout rate in 2024. Brzykcy retains a minor-league option year and seeks to regain his prior form.
