Tyler Zuber: Everything you need to know

The Marlins reassigned Zuber to minor-league camp Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Zuber attended camp as a non-roster invitee but had drawn some early buzz after striking out three of the four batters he faced in his first Grapefruit League appearance. However, the right-hander went on to give up at least one run in three of his final four spring outings to take himself out of the running for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. Zuber previously made 10 big-league appearances with the Mets and Marlins in 2025, pitching to an 11.25 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 12 innings.

The Marlins re-signed Zuber to a minor-league contract Wednesday. Zuber got into 10 games between the Mets and Marlins in 2025, yielding 15 runs over 12 frames. The 30-year-old reliever has a career 6.26 ERA at the big-league level but has struck out 73 across 64.2 innings. Zuber is likely to start next season at Triple-A Jacksonville.

Zuber elected free agency Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Zuber made 10 appearances in the majors in 2025, during which he allowed 15 earned runs over just 12 innings. He finished the Triple-A season with a 5.45 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 38 frames and will likely be limited to minor-league contract offers this winter.
