Toronto Blue Jays left-handed fireballer begins rehab assignment in Dunedin.

The Blue Jays signed the big left-hander to a minor league deal back in mid February.

However, three weeks later Garrett came out of a spring training game against the New York Yankees with with an apparent arm injury.

A veteran of eight MLB seasons, Garrett tossed a career-low 5 1/3 innings in the Show in 2024, as he spent the majority of the season with the Angels' Triple-A affiliate.

The southpaw inked a minors deal with the Giants a year ago but was released near the end of Spring Training, and then quickly caught on with Los Angeles on another minor league contract just prior to Opening Day.

Control problems have long plagued Garrett's career, but he kept the walks in check along enough to deliver some good results out of the Reds' bullpen during the 2018-20 seasons.

It seemed like the former top prospect had carved out a niche for himself as a reliever, but things then went sideways, as Garrett has posted a 5.06 ERA and 15.7% walk rate over 122 2/3 innings since Opening Day 2021.

Garrett's mid-high 90's velocity and strikeout potential is still apparent, as he also has a 27.2% strikeout rate in his last four seasons of big league work.

But, his walk rates have only continued to increase, and Garrett has also had trouble keeping the ball in the park.

The lefty's minor league numbers weren't too promising, as he had a 5.08 ERA in 33 2/3 innings with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2024, though with at least a better (10.6%) walk rate and a strong 28.5K%.

Garrett turned 34 in May, so it remains to be seen if he can truly harness his control at this later stage in his career.
