Garrett underwent Tommy John surgery in December 2024, forcing him to miss all of 2025. He began playing catch in mid-June and is expected to open the season as part of the Miami Marlins’ starting rotation. He owns a career 4.03 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 320 strikeouts across 326.1 innings pitched.

Garrett missed all of 2025 recovering from a UCL surgery that included an internal brace in December. He started seven games for the Marlins in 2024 and pitched to a 5.35 ERA in 37 innings. His best season was in 2023 when he had a 3.66 ERA and 156 strikeouts in 159.2 innings. It's unclear if Garrett will be ready for the start of training camp. If he is, Garrett should occupy one of the rotation spots for the Marlins.
