2024 Fantasy Outlook
At age 25 last season, Luzardo established himself as a legitimate frontline starter for Miami, and he may not be done ascending. He went into the All-Star break riding high, having allowed just two runs in 25.2 innings with a 35:5 K:BB in his final four starts of the first half. There was talk about what the Marlins might do to manage Luzardo's workload after injuries previously limited him to just over 100 innings in a big-league season. In the end the team didn't do anything to limit Luzardo and he soared past 180 innings when including his four-inning outing in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. It's the type of jump in innings that we're not used to seeing, and the results suffered down the stretch as the innings added up, though it's debatable whether the workload increase itself is a reason to be cautious with Luzardo entering 2024. He could be in the running to start Opening Day with Sandy Alcantara out after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Read Past Outlooks
Strikes out eight in no-decision
Luzardo tossed five innings, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out eight in Thursday's Opening Day loss to Pittsburgh. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Luzardo allowed a two-run home run to Bryan Reynolds but was otherwise unblemished in a solid first start of the season. Manager Skip Schumaker elected to pull Luzardo after 85 pitches through five innings with a three-run cushion, but the bullpen slowly leaked away the lead, finally losing the game in the 12th inning. The lefty is expected to be one of the better starting pitchers in the National League this season and did not disappoint in his first outing on Thursday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Interest from Baltimore
The Orioles have displayed the most trade interest in Luzardo of any team this offseason, Barry Jackson and Craig Mish of the Miami Herald report.
ANALYSIS
The Marlins wanted Samuel Basallo in a potential trade, but the O's weren't willing to include him in any deal. It's not clear when exactly the two sides talked, but it sounds like it was before the Orioles ultimately traded for Corbin Burnes. Perhaps Baltimore might be willing to rekindle things with Kyle Bradish and John Means both dealing with elbow injuries.

2018
Heading into 2022, Luzardo was not only an injury risk, but how well he'd pitch when healthy was also unclear. A year later, he's still a health risk after making only 18 starts due to a midseason forearm strain, but Luzardo assuaged performance fears by dominating, especially late. On May 10, Luzardo was sporting a 4.03 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 41 strikeouts but 16 walks in 29 innings. He then went on the IL to return on August 1. The lefty recorded a 3.03 ERA and .98 WHIP the rest of the way, fanning 79 with only 19 walks in his final 71.1 frames. Luzardo featured a 96-mph fastball, but his changeup was most effective, generating a 25.9% swinging strike rate. Luzardo needs to maintain his improved control, and of course avoid injury, but if he does, the southpaw has a chance to fulfill the vast promise teased as he was coming up in the Athletics system.
