MIAMI — The Miami Marlins positioned left-handed pitcher Ryan Weathers on the 15-day injured checklist Saturday due to a left index finger sprain.
Weathers felt discomfort in his begin Friday and left after permitting a two-run house run to Cleveland’s Brayan Rocchio. His outing lasted 2â…“ innings within the 3-2 win.
“So long as it is not like a surgical procedure sort of deal, I really feel fairly good about it,” Marlins supervisor Skip Schumaker mentioned Saturday. “You by no means need to see certainly one of your finest pitchers go on the IL although. It makes it robust, particularly with what he is accomplished. However I do really feel he will be again ahead of later.”
The 24-year-old Weathers, acquired on the commerce deadline from San Diego final season, had accomplished a minimum of six innings and allowed 11 runs in his earlier six begins.
Miami recalled right-hander Roddery Muñoz from Triple-A Jacksonville for Weathers’ spot on the roster. Muñoz will make his third main league begin towards Cleveland on Saturday.
