Fantasy Impact

Junk had a solid outing on Tuesday, tossing 79 pitches and allowing no home runs through 4.1 innings. Last season, his first with the Miami Marlins, he posted a 4.17 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 110 innings, and he’s expected to produce similar numbers this year in a pitcher-friendly ballpark. He’s worth streaming in favorable matchups or during two-start weeks. His next scheduled start is on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds.

Marlins right-hander Janson Junk is being viewed as a starter, although his role come Opening Day remains unclear.

Fantasy Impact

Junk is out of options and has to make the team or the club could be forced to waive him in order to send him to Triple-A. The 30-year-old was roughed up for four earned runs in just two innings in Grapefruit League action on Monday and now owns a 9.00 ERA in five spring innings after dealing with an ankle injury earlier in camp.

Janson Junk is scheduled to throw 15–18 pitches off a mound on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Junk is recovering from a Grade 1 right ankle sprain sustained on February 17. He played catch without a boot on Saturday and is scheduled to throw off a mound on Wednesday. He will continue progressing in his recovery while competing for a spot in the Miami Marlins’ rotation.

Janson Junk has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 mild ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact

It appears that Junk has escaped with the best case scenario news. He will still miss multiple weeks. He is off the fantasy radar for now.

Janson Junk returned to Miami to receive imaging.

Fantasy Impact

Junk rolled his ankle in camp on Tuesday. There should be an update on his status once the results return.
