The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brazoban will act as the Mets' roster casualty following the return of Dedniel Nunez (forearm) from the injured list. Since being traded from Miami to New York in July, Brazoban has surrendered seven earned runs in only 10 innings -- a stark contrast in performance from the 2.93 ERA he posted in 30.2 frames with the Marlins.

The Mets acquired Brazoban from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for outfield prospect Wilfredo Lara, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brazoban had primarily worked in middle relief for Miami this season and pitched well with a 2.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB over 30.2 innings. The right-hander will likely fill a similar role for the Mets.

Brazoban is a candidate to step into the closer role for the Marlins in the event Tanner Scott gets traded, Kaushik Sampath of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andrew Nardi is viewed as the top option to replace Scott, especially with A.J. Puk having been shipped to the Diamondbacks, but Brazoban might also be a factor in the ninth inning. The right-hander missed the beginning of the season due to visa issues, but since making his 2024 debut at the beginning of June, he has posted a 3.14 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB through 28.2 innings. He's taken things to another level over the last month or so, giving up zero earned runs over his last eight games with a 0.79 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in 12.2 innings. Brazoban hasn't seen much high-leverage work this season, however, managing only one hold and one win in 18 appearances.

Brazoban struck out one in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning Tuesday to record his first hold of the season in a win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old right-hander didn't get a chance to break camp on the 26-man roster due to visa issues, but Brazoban has looked good since joining the Marlins at the end of May. Through nine appearances and 15.1 innings, he's posted a 2.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB, and he may be working his way into a higher-leverage role.

Brazoban was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Brazoban missed early portions of the 2024 campaign due to visa issues but has been brought up to speed since clearing those up and will rejoin the Marlins' bullpen. Brazoban appeared in 50 games last season with Miami and owns a 5.91 ERA across 10.2 innings with Jacksonville this year. He'll likely fill a middle-relief role with the Marlins.

The Marlins optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports..

EDGE Analysis

Brazoban missed all of spring training and spent the first month of the season on the restricted list with visa issues. Those have been resolved, but he will head to Jacksonville for now to knock the rust off as he looks to earn a spot back in the Marlins' bullpen.

The Marlins reinstated Brazoban (personal) from the restricted list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Brazoban landed on the restricted list prior to Opening Day due to visa issues, which have evidently been resolved. Though he's now back on the Marlins' 40-man roster, it's unclear when the reliever might be ready to join the 26-man active roster. Since he missed all of spring training, Brazoban will presumably need to make several appearances in the minors before being an option for the big-league bullpen.

The Marlins placed Brazoban (personal) on the restricted list Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brazoban missed all of spring training after failing to receive a visa to re-enter the U.S. from the Dominican Republic. His placement on the restricted list will open a spot on Miami's 40-man roster, which may be given to another reliever to replace Brazoban.

Brazoban is still not in camp due to visa issues in the Dominican Republic, and Marlins beat writer Noah Berger reports that his locker has been removed from the major-league clubhouse.

EDGE Analysis

Miami signed veteran reliever Mychal Givens on Sunday, and Brazoban's continued absence could be the reason why. Brazoban recorded 13 holds over 50 appearances last season, both career highs, to go along with a 4.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB in 58.2 innings. If the 34-year-old right-hander is no longer an option for the Opening Day bullpen, it could open up a spot for Sixto Sanchez.

Brazoban has yet to report to Marlins camp because of a visa issue, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Non-roster invitees Elvis Alvarado and Johnny Pereda have also been delayed by visa problems. Brazoban, 34, has decent shot at capturing a spot in the Marlins' bullpen and this shouldn't affect that as long as it doesn't drag on too long.
