The Miami Marlins scratched left-hander Jesus Luzardo from Friday’s scheduled start due to elbow discomfort.
The team said Luzardo, 26, will undergo further testing.
In his place, right-hander Anthony Maldonado is scheduled to make his major-league debut when the Marlins open a four-game series against the visiting Washington Nationals on Friday night.
Maldonado, 26, was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville, where he’s gone 11-3 with a 1.84 ERA across 78.1 innings pitched over three seasons.
Luzardo has struggled through five starts this season, going 0-2 with a 6.58 ERA. He has struck out 27 batters, walked 13 and allowed five home runs in 26 innings of work.
He owns a career record of 23-30 with a 4.32 ERA in 98 games (82 starts) with the Oakland A’s (2019-21) and Marlins.
