Marlins pitcher Xzavion Curry was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville after going unclaimed on waivers. Designated for assignment to make space for catcher Rob Brantly, Curry struggled this season, giving up four runs in just three innings pitched. Originally claimed by Miami last summer from the Guardians, he has faced challenges with a declining fastball velocity and low strikeout rates. With the option to elect free agency due to multiple outright assignments, Curry may stay with the Marlins as they undergo a rebuilding phase with roster changes expected.
Curry's fastball has averaged 90.5 MPH in the early going - down from the 92-93 range of prior years.
He has only struck out 15.5% of opposing hitters, highlighting a need for improvement in his strikeout ability.
As a player with multiple career outright assignments, Curry has the right to elect free agency, although minor league offers would be his limit.
Miami claimed Curry off waivers from the Guardians last summer, emphasizing their interest in his potential.
