LHP Braxton Garrett (left forearm flexor strain)
Expected return: 2025
Garrett was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and added back to the 40-man roster on Nov. 4. At the beginning of the offseason, he received a second opinion on his arm and was diagnosed with a left elbow impingement. Garrett had been proceeding with a throwing progression at the Marlins' player development complex in Jupiter, Fla. The expectation is that Garrett will be ready for the start of Spring Training if all goes well with the program.
Before Garrett felt something in the back of his elbow after his bullpen session on Sept. 21, there was a possibility he would be reinstated on Sept. 22 to start the 2024 home finale, but that setback during his rehab assignment ended his chances to return.
Garrett was placed on the IL on June 23 after he was scratched from his scheduled start. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on July 30. (Last updated: Nov. 4)
LHP Jesús Luzardo (lumbar stress reaction)

Luzardo was placed on the 15-day IL on June 22 before being transferred to the 60-day IL on June 23. He was scratched from his June 22 start after dealing with a back issue for a couple of weeks.

Alcantara initially felt discomfort in his arm on his 94th and final pitch on Sept. 3, 2023, against the Nationals. He was diagnosed with a right forearm flexor strain. An MRI exam later revealed a right UCL sprain. Alcantara underwent Tommy John surgery on Oct. 6, 2023. (Last updated: Nov. 4)
LHP Andrew Nardi (left elbow muscle injury)
Expected return: 2025
Nardi was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and added back to the 40-man roster on Nov. 4. According to him, he was transferred to the 60-day IL on Sept. 7 mainly because he wouldn't have had enough time to build back that late in the season. It also opened up a roster spot. Nardi first landed on the IL on Aug. 24 (retroactive to Aug. 22). (Last updated: Nov. 4)
