Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Throws four scoreless frames in no-decision
Rotowire
Gusto did not factor into Friday's decision against the Nationals, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out two across four scoreless innings.
Gusto allowed at least one baserunner in all four of the frames in which he pitched (including two in both the first and fourth innings), but he managed to keep the Nationals off the board. It was the first time this season that he kept his opponent scoreless while completing at least four frames, and he finished Friday's outing having tossed 62 pitches (48 strikes) while generating six whiffs. Gusto figures to stay in the Marlins' rotation until Max Meyer (neck) returns from the injured list, which may not be until early September. Gusto is lined up to face the Red Sox at home next week.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Matches season high in punchouts
Rotowire
Gusto took a no-decision against the Reds on Saturday, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out six.
A fielding error in right field by Esteury Ruiz kept both of Cincinnati's third-inning runs off Gusto's line, but the hurler later served up a pair of solo home runs in the fifth. The six strikeouts tied a season high for Gusto, but he's been taken yard at least once in each of his past four starts. The right-hander, who sits with a shaky 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB over 53.2 innings, has limited streaming appeal in his next scheduled outing against an upstart Nationals lineup.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Dealt tough-luck loss
Rotowire
Gusto (0-3) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits while striking out five over six innings.
Gusto's only mistake came on the first pitch of the second inning, when Ozzie Albies launched a solo homer. Miami's offense provided little support, failing to score until it was too late in the ninth inning. The six-inning effort marked the longest outing of his season. It was a bounce-back performance for the right-hander, who in his previous start against the Phillies surrendered six runs. Gusto owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB across 45 innings this season and will look for his first win of 2026 in his next scheduled start Sunday against the Angels.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Sticking in rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
Gusto is slated to start Tuesday's game in Atlanta, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Miami didn't add or subtract any members to its rotation leading up to Monday's trade deadline, so Gusto looks like he'll remain in place as the club's fifth starter for the time being. While starting in both of his last two appearances, the 27-year-old righty gave up seven earned runs on 11 hits and three walks while striking out seven batters across 8.1 innings.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Gusto is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies at loanDepot Park.
Gusto will be making his second straight turn through the Miami rotation as a replacement for the injured Max Meyer (neck). The right-hander took the hill on two days' rest his last time out Friday against the Padres and was lifted after tossing 3.1 innings and 57 pitches, but he should have a slightly longer leash Wednesday.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Records no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Gusto did not factor into the decision in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Padres, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings.
Gusto left the game after 57 pitches (37 strikes) with one out into the fourth. The 27-year-old pitched on just two days' rest after recording two innings of work against Houston on Tuesday. On the campaign, Gusto now owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB in 34 innings.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Goes three innings vs. Rockies
Rotowire
Gusto did not factor into the decision Thursday against Colorado, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings.
After he was handed a 2-0 lead in the first inning, Gusto gave up a solo home run to Mickey Moniak in the bottom half of the frame before the Rockies tacked on two more runs in the third. Gusto has seen a limited workload since joining the Marlins rotation -- he's yet to make it through five frames in any of his six starts. Overall, the right-hander sports a 5.55 ERA with a 1.60 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Looks good in another short start
Rotowire
Gusto surrendered three hits and issued one walk while striking out four batters over 3.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.
Gusto continues to be held to a throttled workload -- over five starts, he's yet to complete more than 4.2 innings and has gone beyond 70 pitches just once. Though the right-hander was limited to 63 pitches Saturday, he pitched quite well, throwing 41 of those offerings for strikes and limiting the Cardinals to three singles, a hit-by-pitch and a walk. Gusto was rocked for five runs over 4.2 frames against Philadelphia on June 15, but he's rebounded nicely by giving up just one run across 7.2 innings while registering a 10:3 K:BB over his subsequent two starts. That should earn him continued turns in the rotation -- at least until Janson Junk (shin) is ready to return -- but Gusto's fantasy value will be limited until he's able to start pitching deeper into games.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Fans six in no-decision
Rotowire
Gusto did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Giants, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.1 innings.
Gusto turned in one of his better outings of the season, setting a season high with six strikeouts. The lone blemish came in the third inning, when he allowed a walk and two hits, including an RBI single by Casey Schmitt. Outside of that frame, Gusto kept the Giants largely in check and showed more improvement in the swing-and-miss department. While the overall results have been uneven, Sunday's effort could earn him additional opportunities in the rotation. Despite the encouraging outing though, the right-hander still owns a 6.00 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 18 innings this season.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Knocked around in second loss
Rotowire
Gusto (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Phillies, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out one.
Gusto struggled to contain the Philadelphia bats Monday, throwing a lone clean inning on the evening. The 27-year-old right-hander logged season worsts in hits, runs and walks allowed, but he did reach the 90-pitch marker for the first time this year. Gusto appears to be ready to handle a traditional starter's workload going forward, and he'll carry a bloated 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB over 13.2 innings into his next scheduled outing at home versus the Giants.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: No-decision in win
Rotowire
Gusto gave up no runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings during the win against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.
After working as a traditional starter at Triple-A prior to his call-up last Tuesday, Gusto delivered his longest outing in the majors this season Wednesday. The right-hander suffered his first loss of 2026 during his previous start while serving up three runs across two innings while working as more of an opener, but he pitched well versus Arizona and threw 45 of his 66 pitches for strikes as he continues to get stretched out.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Gusto is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks in Miami.
After being recalled Triple-A Jacksonville last Tuesday, Gusto pitched two innings out of the bullpen later that day in a 7-3 win over the Nationals. The Marlins then tabbed Gusto to fill the open spot in their rotation Friday, but because he was pitching on just two days' rest, he served as more of an opener and made just a two-inning start in a 6-0 loss to the Rays. Tyler Phillips piggybacked Gusto in long relief in that game, but the Marlins could look to separate the two pitchers during this upcoming turn through the rotation. Gusto had been working as a more traditional starter at Triple-A prior to his call-up, turning in a 1.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB in 15 innings over his final three appearances for Jacksonville.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Starting Friday's game
Rotowire
Gusto will start Friday's game against the Rays, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Tyler Phillips is also expected to pitch in what could be a piggyback start for the Marlins. Gusto threw just two innings and allowed three runs in a relief outing Tuesday versus the Nationals in his first big-league appearance this season. However, while he will be pitching on just two days' rest Friday after tossing 40 pitches Tuesday, Gusto had lasted five-plus innings in five of his last seven outings for Triple-A Jacksonville prior to his promotion, so he's capable of pitching deeper into games than he did Tuesday.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Called up to pitch Tuesday
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Gusto from Triple-A Jacksonville to pitch Tuesday against the Nationals.
Lake Bachar is opening Tuesday's contest for Miami with Gusto poised to follow as the bulk reliever. The 27-year-old made his season debut for the Marlins in early April with a scoreless inning out of the bullpen, but he's primarily worked out of the rotation at Jacksonville and posted a 3.83 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 52:17 K:BB across 44.2 innings.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Will pitch for Miami on Tuesday
Rotowire
Marlins manager Clayton McCollough confirmed that Gusto will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and pitch in Tuesday's game versus the Nationals, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.
Gusto will likely either make a traditional start or serve in a bulk relief role against the Nationals. The Marlins could need Gusto for multiple starts as they navigate the losses of Eury Perez (hamstring) and Janson Junk (shin). Gusto has collected a 3.63 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB in 39.2 innings for Jacksonville this season.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Cleared for start of camp
Rotowire
Gusto (shoulder) will be available to pitch this week as spring training gets underway, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Gusto closed the 2025 season on the Marlins' injured list after he was diagnosed with a right shoulder impingement in late August, but he was able to make a full recovery over the offseason. Between his stops with Houston and Miami last season, Gusto started 17 of his 27 appearances and posted a 5.67 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 101.2 innings. The Marlins could have the right-hander stretch out as a starter during spring training, but he'll likely serve as more of a insurance option for the rotation and could begin the campaign as a long man out of the bullpen.

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.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Will be recalled from Triple-A
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.

Marlins' Ryan Gusto: Solid in Miami debut
Rotowire
Gusto (7-5) took the loss against Atlanta in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.
The Marlins acquired Gusto in a deadline deal with Houston and initially sent him to Triple-A Jacksonville. However, the big-league squad needed a spot starter for Saturday's twin bill and added the right-hander as the 27th man. Gusto held his own -- though he took the loss, he notched a quality start and racked up an impressive 15 whiffs en route to eight punchouts. Despite the strong performance, Gusto will need to return to the minors ahead of Sunday's series finale unless the Marlins instead opt to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for him with a different move.

Astros' Ryan Gusto: Sharp in seventh win
Rotowire
Gusto (7-4) earned the win Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
It was an impressive bounce-back performance from Gusto, who picked up his third quality start of the season after giving up eight runs in just 3.1 innings his last time out against the A's. Overall, the 26-year-old Gusto sports a 4.92 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 87:28 K:BB across 86 innings this year. While the right-hander certainly pitched well enough to earn another look in the rotation, Gusto could find himself back in the bullpen with both Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) and Cristian Javier (elbow) nearing returns.
