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 Clevelandās Brayan Rocchio. His outing lasted 2 1/3 innings in the 3-2 win.

āAs long as itās not like a surgery type of deal, I feel pretty good about it,ā Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Saturday. āYou never want to see one of your best pitchers go on the IL though. It makes it tough, especially with what heās done. But I do feel heās 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.
