The Marlins placed Gusto on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder impingement.
The right-hander was tagged for nine runs during most recent start versus Atlanta on Wednesday and will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Gusto won't have much time to get healthy before the end of the season, and he won't be guaranteed a rotation spot even if he does return to the mound for the Marlins in 2025.
Gusto (7-7) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins were routed 12-1 by Atlanta, coughing up nine runs on seven hits -- including three home runs -- and five walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
A leadoff homer by Jurickson Profar set the tone for the afternoon, as Atlanta went yard five times in total off Miami pitchers -- in fact, utility infielder Javier Sanoja was the only player to take the mound for the Marlins and not surrender a home run. Gusto saw his already bloated 6.00 ERA through two starts with his new club swell even further to 9.77, a mark that comes with a 1.66 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB through 15.2 innings. With Adam Mazur set to get a start Thursday, top prospect Robby Snelling knocking very loudly on the door at Triple-A, and Ryan Weathers (lat) about to begin a rehab assignment, Gusto's stint in the big-league rotation could end at any time. For the moment however, he's scheduled to make his next outing on the road early next week against the Nationals.
Gusto is listed as the Marlins' probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against Atlanta in Miami.
Gusto got the call back to the big leagues Friday when a spot in the Miami rotation opened up, but the right-hander floundered in his start against the Blue Jays, covering six innings but allowing five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while failing to strike out a batter. Despite the poor showing, Gusto will receive another turn through the rotation, but he'll be a prime candidate to move to the bullpen or head back to Triple-A Jacksonville once Ryan Weathers (lat) is reinstated from the 60-day injured list at some point in September.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Hit hard in loss
Rotowire
Gusto (7-6) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings. He did not record a strikeout.
Gusto battled through six innings after giving up three runs in the first, but he managed just six whiffs on 90 pitches and allowed 11 hard-hit balls. It was also the first time in 16 starts this year that the 26-year-old failed to record a strikeout. He'll take a 5.05 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 95:31 K:BB across 98 innings between starting duty and relief work into a home matchup with Atlanta next week.
The Marlins recalled Gusto from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
Gusto will draw the start in Friday's contest versus the Blue Jays in what will be his second outing for the Marlins since he landed with Miami in a trade that sent Jesus Sanchez to the Astros. The righty holds a 4.89 ERA in 92 innings at the big-league level in 2025, though that's come with a promising 95:30 K:BB. Gusto should get the chance to stick in the Marlins' rotation for the rest of the season if he performs.

Rotowire
Gusto will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
He's taking the spot in the rotation that belonged to Cal Quantrill, who was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Thursday. Gusto was acquired from the Astros in the Jesus Sanchez deal at the trade deadline will be making his second start with the big-league club. He spun six innings against Atlanta on Aug. 9, allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight. The rookie right-hander has a combined 4.89 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 95:30 K:BB across 92 innings with Houston and Miami this season.
