Eder (broken foot) is expected back in mid-to-late June, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The big 6-foot-4 southpaw broke his foot in a freak accident off the field during spring training. Eder, who underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2021, is very advanced and could move quickly through the upper levels once he's healthy.

Eder is recovering from a fractured left foot and will open the year at Double-A Pensacola once healthy, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eder was going to be make his much-anticipated return from Tommy John surgery this spring, but a fractured foot will delay things for the big southpaw. He excelled in 15 starts at Double-A in 2021 prior to needing surgery, so Eder could get a bump to Triple-A this summer once he knocks some rust off.

Marlins general manager Kim Ng disclosed Sunday that Eder has been sporting a walking boot on his left foot for a couple of weeks due to an apparent injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2021, Eder reported to spring training at full health and was expected to pitch in a Grapefruit League game at some point, but the previously unreported foot injury explains why he has yet to make his spring debut. According to Ng, Eder has been able to keep his surgically repaired arm fresh by throwing from one knee, but he obviously won't be ready for game action until he's able to shed the boot and field his position without issue. Expect Eder to open the campaign on the injured list at Double-A Pensacola or Triple-A Jacksonville.

Eder (elbow) is feeling 100% and doesn't have an innings limit set for spring training, Fish on the Farm reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eder will likely be monitored closely as he nears his first live action since undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2021. The 24-year-old has seen only played one year of minor-league ball in the early stages of his career, as he spent the 2021 campaign with Double-A Pensacola and turned in a sparkling 1.77 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with a 99:27 K:BB over 15 starts (71.1 innings).

Eder (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in September, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eder's recovery from surgery appears to be on track thus far, but the Marlins are unlikely to have him pitch in anything other than simulated games before the minor-league season comes to a close. The 23-year-old lefty could be a candidate to get some innings in during the Arizona Fall League or instructional ball, but the Marlins' main focus will likely be in ensuring he's ready to go for spring training with no restrictions. Before getting surgery, Eder dazzled in his 15 starts at Double-A Pensacola, turning in a 1.77 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 99:27 K:BB across 71.1 innings.

Eder is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in the upcoming days, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The impending elbow procedure is a devastating setback for the 22-year-old lefty, whom the Marlins selected with the 104th overall pick in the 2020 first-year player draft. After the 2020 minor-league season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, Eder dazzled in his debut campaign at Double-A Pensacola, racking up 99 strikeouts in 71.1 innings while submitting a 1.77 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Those exceptional numbers would have put Eder in the conversation for a look in the Miami rotation in 2022, but instead, he'll miss the remainder of the 2021 season and most likely, all of next season as well.

Eder has excelled in his first professional game action this season, posting a 1.13 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 71:17 K:BB through 47.2 innings for Double-A Pensacola, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

A fourth-round pick out of Vanderbilt in 2020, Eder showed flashes of a high ceiling in college but was also extremely inconsistent. The 22-year-old southpaw has worked hard to streamline his mechanics, however, and the results have been impressive. "All we needed to do, we felt, is clean up the timing out of his glove and then you would get more consistency," Marlins amateur scouting director DJ Svihlik said on a Zoom call this week. "And that's what you saw [minor-league pitching coordinator] Scott Aldred and his group with what they were able to do, and with Jake himself. The player is accountable here for what he wants his career to become. Jake happens to be a guy who is really highly motivated, always has been. So you take the talent that we saw, with his motivation, the creativity and the work by our player development staff and you get a player who is outperforming his draft position." Miami isn't going to rush him to the majors, so the best-case scenario might be a 2022 big-league debut, but Eder has put himself just behind Max Meyer in the team's pitching pipeline.
