He returned to Pensacola to start the 2022 season before being promoted to the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.

On August 14, 2022, Nardi was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time alongside Parker Bugg.[5] Nardi made his MLB debut on August 16 against the San Diego Padres. He made 13 appearances for the Marlins, struggling immensely to a 9.82 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 14.2 innings pitched.
