ATLANTA (CBSMiami/AP) — Just as the Miami Marlins had a rough opening week, so did their current staff ace.
Marlins opening day starter Henderson Alvarez has been put on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
The move was made before Monday's game at Atlanta. Alvarez (0-2) gave up four runs in five innings and lost Sunday to Tampa Bay.
Alvarez went 12-7 with a 2.65 ERA last year and made the All-Star team.
The Marlins are already without ace Jose Fernandez, who is still recovering from Tommy John surgery and unlikely to return before mid-July.
Miami also placed backup catcher Jeff Mathis and reserve infielder Don Kelly on the 15-day disabled list. Each broke the ring finger on his right hand in Sunday's game.
Catcher J.T. Realmuto, infielder Reid Brignac and right-hander Carter Capps will join Miami from Triple-A New Orleans.
