Marlins' Karson Milbrandt: Not slowed by promotion
Rotowire
Milbrandt has a 1.69 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB in 10.2 innings across two starts for Double-A Pensacola.
Milbrandt emphatically forced a promotion from High-A, as he struck out 26 while logging a 1.17 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 15.1 innings over his final three starts for Beloit, including a 10-K, one-hit performance over five scoreless innings against a loaded High-A Wisconsin lineup. Long known for his strong stuff and shaky command, Milbrandt's propensity to issue walks is still his biggest weakness, but his stuff has gotten so good that hitters typically can't get much done on their own. He hasn't given up a home run since June 13 and has 80 strikeouts in 58 innings over that stretch. He'll likely spend 2026 refining his command and control across the top two levels of the minors.

Milbrandt was on the shelf for the first two weeks of the season after experiencing fluid buildup in his arm coming out of spring training, but he's managed to stay healthy since being activated. The 21-year-old righty finished the first half of the season on a high note, striking out 11 batters over 5.2 innings in his most recent start Saturday.
