Garrett (forearm) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Single-A Jupiter on Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
The left-hander progressed to throwing live batting practice over the weekend and has been deemed ready for game action after a bullpen session Tuesday. Garrett is expected to throw about three innings and/or 50 pitches Thursday in the first of what's likely to be a couple rehab starts. He's been on the shelf since mid-June due to a forearm strain.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Throws live BP
Rotowire
Garrett (forearm) threw a two innings of live batting practice Saturday, MLB.com reports.
The southpaw was expected to toss around 35 pitches in the workout Saturday, though the Marlins haven't disclosed how Garrett came out of the throwing session. Garrett looks as though he'll have a chance to pitch again for the Marlins in 2024, but he may not have enough time to get fully stretched back out for a starting role. Whether he returns as a starter or reliever, Garrett will likely need to complete at least one or two minor-league rehab appearances before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Throws 25 pitches in bullpen
Rotowire
Garrett (forearm) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday and is scheduled to complete another Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Friday's bullpen was Garrett's second since being placed on the injured list June 23 due to a left forearm flexor strain. He'll likely have to face hitters and be sent out on a rehab assignment before being activated from the 60-day injured list.
The Marlins transferred Garrett (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Garrett began a throwing program last week -- roughly a month after a forearm flexor strain sent him to the injured list. He still figures to be sidelined for another few weeks, so the Marlins will move him to the 60-day IL and give his 40-man spot to Jesus Tinoco, who was claimed off waivers from the Cubs on Tuesday.
Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Resumes throwing program
Rotowire
Garrett (forearm) has began playing catch, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Garrett will finally resume a throwing program after being placed on the injured list June 23 with a strained left forearm. The 26-year-old was deemed asymptomatic last week but spent several days focusing on strengthening his forearm before starting to throw. Garrett still has several checkpoints to complete before being activated and shouldn't be expected back for several weeks.
Garrett is considered asymptomatic while he continues to rehab his strained left forearm at the Marlins' facility in Jupiter, Fla., MLB.com reports.
Garrett -- who was placed on the injured list June 23 -- is focused on strengthening his forearm for now before he kicks off a throwing program. The southpaw still looks to be multiple weeks away from a return, and given their place in the standings, the 33-63 Marlins are in no hurry to bring Garrett back.
