Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Josh Ekness, 24-year-old right-handed pitcher for the Miami Marlins, made his MLB debut on May 3, 2026. In his first stint with the big leagues, he appeared in 4 games over 3.1 innings, allowing 1 run with a 2:1 K:BB ratio and a 0.00 ERA. He earned his first career save on May 10 against the Nationals. Ekness was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on May 14 to make room for Braxton Garrett, but is expected to return to Miami's bullpen later in the season.
