MIAMI ā€“ The Miami Marlins placed left-handed pitcher Ryan Weathers on the 15-day injured list Saturday because of a left index finger sprain.

Weathers felt discomfort in his start Friday and left after allowing a two-run home run to Clevelandā€™s Brayan Rocchio. His outing lasted 2 1/3 innings in the 3-2 win.

ā€œAs long as itā€™s not like a surgery type of deal, I feel pretty good about it,ā€ Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Saturday. ā€œYou never want to see one of your best pitchers go on the IL though. It makes it tough, especially with what heā€™s done. But I do feel heā€™s going to be back sooner than later.ā€

The 24-year-old Weathers, acquired at the trade deadline from San Diego last season, had completed at least six innings and allowed 11 runs in his previous six starts.

Miami recalled right-hander Roddery MuƱoz from Triple-A Jacksonville for Weathersā€™ spot on the roster. MuƱoz will make his third major league start against Cleveland on Saturday.
