Curtiss was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with neck stiffness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss last pitched one-third of an inning June 30 and has now landed on the injury list with the neck issue. Jordan Holloway was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Curtiss (3-1) allowed one hit in 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Curtis followed starter Cody Poteet, who lasted only 3.2 innings and failed to qualify for the win in his return from a knee injury. After a strong start to the year, Curtiss has allowed seven runs (five earned) in his last 11 innings. The right-hander has a 2.97 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB across 30.1 innings, mainly as a low-leverage reliever, although he's also taken two turns as an opener.

Curtiss will start Friday's game against the Mets, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old will serve as an opener for the second time this season in Friday's series opener. Curtiss has completed two innings on two occasions this season, and he's unlikely to pitch much deeper than that Friday. Jordan Holloway could be in the mix as a bulk option for Miami.

Curtiss (2-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Brewers while allowing one run on two hits while striking out two over 1.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss ended a 7.2 innings scoreless streak Tuesday after he allowed the Brewers to score and re-take the lead in the fifth off of a pair of extra-base hits from Keston Hiura and Luis Urias. The 28-year-old has still been very reliable overall this year with a 2.38 ERA and a 12:0 K:BB over 11.1 innings.

Curtiss (2-0) struck out one and allowed one hit in one inning of work, earning the win in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The righty has settled in after allowing homers in his first two appearances of 2021, as he hasn't given up a run in his ensuing three outings -- lowering his ERA to 3.38 in the process. The two winning decisions -- coincidental products of his team taking the lead late in games -- likely are anomalies for Curtiss, although continued success in late-game situations may earn him more high-leverage innings and opportunities for holds, especially now that Anthony Bass has yielded the closer role to Yimi Garcia.

Curtiss (1-0) allowed one hit and struck out two over 1.2 scoreless innings as he picked up the win Tuesday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss entered to begin the fifth after Pablo Lopez had reached his limit and pitched an easy 1-2-3 inning on just nine pitches. The 28-year-old Curtiss came out again to start the sixth and got another quick out before surrendering a single to Austin Riley. He finished his day strong, however, as he struck out Ronald Acuna on three pitches before being taken out of the game in favor of Ross Detwiler. Curtiss has thrown back-to-back scoreless outings after allowing a run in each of his first two appearances this year, and he's lowered his ERA to 4.15 over 4.1 innings for the season.

Curtis didn't throw a pitch Sunday against the Mets before the game was suspended due to inclement weather, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was serving an opener Sunday for the Mets, but the teams were called off the field due to rain with one out in the top of the first inning. Curtiss should return to his bullpen role when the Marlins resume the schedule Monday in Atlanta.

Curtis will serve as an opener Sunday against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old is expected to cover two or three innings for the Marlins as inclement weather could affect the start of Sunday's contest. It's unclear if manager Don Mattingly plans to utilize a bulk reliever or go with a more traditional bullpen game after Curtiss.

Curtiss has posted a 2.70 ERA and 9:3 K:BB over 6.2 Grapefruit League innings this spring.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was picked up from the Rays in the offseason after a breakout 2020, and Curtiss is expected to handle a fairly high-leverage role in an unsettled Marlins bullpen if he can maintain the improvements in his control and command he demonstrated last year. That may not put him in the saves picture, but at the very least, the 27-year-old should quickly record his first career hold.

The Marlins acquired Curtiss from the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for first baseman Evan Edwards, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Curtiss emerged from relative obscurity to become a key piece in the Tampa Bay bullpen in 2020, submitting a 1.80 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 22.2 K-BB% over 25 innings. The 27-year-old looked on track to factor into the setup mix for Tampa Bay in 2021, but the organization instead elected to cash him in for a minor-league prospect in Edwards to clear up space on the 40-man roster. The move to Miami should at least put Curtiss in better position to contend for saves and holds, as the Marlins' late-inning pecking order remains unsettled heading into spring training. Anthony Bass, who inked a two-year deal with Miami in the offseason, will presumably enter the spring as the frontrunner for the closer's gig, but Curtiss could eventually gain traction in the ninth inning if he's able to carry over his strong form from 2020.
