Rotowire
Munoz will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis prior to Friday's game against the Phillies, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
It will be the corresponding move after Chris Roycroft was optioned to Memphis on Thursday. Munoz has yielded one run with a 7:5 K:BB over five innings with Memphis this season, recording one save.

Cardinals' Roddery Munoz: Moved to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned Munoz to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.
Munoz was solid in his first spring as a Cardinal, giving up four runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over seven frames. However, he owns a 6.53 ERA over 82.2 career MLB innings, so it makes sense that St. Louis would like to see him sustain success over a longer period before giving him a big-league roster spot. The 24-year-old right-hander is making the switch from starter to reliever this season, which should increase his chances at reaching St. Louis once the Cards begin searching for fresh arms to cycle into their bullpen.

Cardinals' Roddery Munoz: Pegged for relief role in 2025
Rotowire
The Cardinals are planning to use Munoz in a relief role this season, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
A waiver claim from the Marlins in November, Munoz has fired three perfect innings with five strikeouts so far this spring. He does have minor-league options remaining, however, which could hurt his chances of making the Opening Day roster. Munoz made 17 starts and one relief appearance in 2024 for Miami, collecting a 6.53 ERA and 70:42 K:BB over 82.2 innings.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Optioned to Jacksonville
Rotowire
The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Xzavion Curry was recalled from Jacksonville in a corresponding move, though it remains unclear if he will replace Munoz in the Marlins' rotation going forward.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Can't keep ball down
Rotowire
Munoz allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 1.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
Munoz had given up eight homers over his last six starts, so a visit to the thin air of Colorado was a recipe for disaster. He gave up back-to-back home runs to begin the first inning and then allowed another in the second. The Marlins' ninth-inning rally spared him the loss, but Munoz continues to look overmatched in the majors. He's allowed at least three runs in five straight starts and now has a 6.53 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 70:42 K:BB through 82.2 innings over 18 appearances (17 starts) this season. He's also given up 26 homers, making him one of two pitchers this year to have allowed 20 or more long balls in fewer than 100 innings, along with Cleveland's Logan Allen. Munoz is tentatively projected to make his next start at San Francisco.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Lasts just 3.1 frames vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Munoz allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Munoz struggled with his control in the outing, throwing just 40 of 73 pitches for strikes. The right-hander lasted exactly 3.1 innings for the second consecutive start and has failed to get out of the fourth frame in three of his past four appearances. Walks have been a big issue for Munoz of late -- he's issued exactly three free passes in each of those three short outings. His 4.5 BB/9 is sixth worst among MLB hurlers who have thrown at least 70 innings this season.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Suffers seventh loss
Rotowire
Munoz (2-7) took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out five.
Despite generating 13 whiffs on 93 pitches, Munoz allowed three or more earned runs for the fourth time in six second-half starts. Over that span, the rookie right-hander has pitched to a 6.66 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 27 innings, and he has failed to reach the sixth inning in any of those outings. Things don't get easier for Munoz -- he's scheduled to face a scorching hot Arizona team at home next week.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Settles for no-decision Saturday
Rotowire
Munoz came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Padres, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.
The rookie right-hander left the game after 87 pitches (53 strikes) with the Marlins ahead 7-3, but the bullpen couldn't secure the win for him. Munoz hasn't lasted more than five innings in five straight outings, posting a poor 6.08 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through 23.2 innings over that stretch, but Miami doesn't have any better, healthier options to replace him in the rotation. He lines up to make his next start on the road next weekend against the Mets.

Munoz fell victim to the long ball on Monday, allowing multiple home runs in a start for the seventh time in 13 outings this season.

Munoz has now allowed at least four runs in seven starts this season and has seen his ERA climb to 5.68 across 69.2 innings.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Earns second win
Rotowire
Munoz (2-5) picked up the win Wednesday over Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.
Munoz allowed a run in both of the first two innings on a Christopher Morel homer and a Jonny DeLuca RBI triple. However, the 24-year-old right-hander would settle in and blank the Rays over his final three frames while recording seven strikeouts, matching a season high. Munoz now sports a 5.45 ERA at the big-league level this year with a 1.38 WHIP and 57:32 K:BB across 66 innings. He figures to remain in Miami's rotation after Trevor Rogers was traded to the Orioles, and with that, Munoz's next outing is currently lined up for early next week at home versus the Reds.
Munoz will start Wednesday's game against the Rays at Tropicana Field, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
After getting roughed up for six earned runs in five innings in a no-decision against the Orioles this past Thursday, Munoz was sent to Triple-A Jacksonville a day later. He didn't end up making any appearances for Jacksonville and will step right back into the Miami rotation after being recalled Tuesday in the wake of Trevor Rogers being traded to the Orioles. With six Miami starting pitchers currently residing on the 60-day injured list, Munoz should build up some job security if he's able to come through with a credible performance against the Rays.

Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Munoz had been optioned to Jacksonville on Friday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Marlins without making an appearance in the minors since he'll be replacing one of the many players that Miami traded away ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The banged-up Marlins still have plenty of holes in their rotation, so Munoz could step back into a starting role as soon as Wednesday at Tampa Bay or Thursday at Atlanta. He holds a 5.61 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 50:31 K:BB over 61 innings in the majors in 2024.
