Carter Capps

Marlins shut Carter Capps (elbow) down for season

The Miami Marlins have shut relief pitcher Carter Capps (elbow) down for the season.

What It Means:

Capps hasn't suffered any setbacks with his strained elbow, and should be on track to have a normal off-season.

Capps played in 30 games for the Marlins this year, setting career bests with a 1.16 ERA and 1.11 FIP as well as an absurd 49.2 percent strikeout rate. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks he will be a key piece in the Marlins' bullpen next season.
