The Miami Marlins officially placed starter Chris O'Grady on the disabled list with an oblique strain, according to the team's official website. O'Grady exited Monday's start against the Nationals in the second inning, which was serious enough to land him on the DL. O'Grady, who has only made a handful of starts this season, has a 2-1 record and a 5.47 ERA in 26.1 innings pitched. With O'Grady on the DL, the Marlins called up reliever Javy Guerra to fill the roster space.
Miami Marlins pitcher Chris O'Grady departed Monday's outing versus the Nationals in the second inning with an apparent right oblique injury. O'Grady initially stayed in after a visit from the trainer, but he was clearly uncomfortable and was lifted after throwing a few pitches. It certainly looked like an injury that will likely send him to the disabled list, but the Marlins should have an update after the game. O'Grady has a 5.47 ERA and 1.56 WHIP this season and should not be looked at in any format.

He's coming off his best start of the year where he threw seven shutout innings with five strikeouts against the Cincinnati Reds. He's yet to allow more than three earned runs in any start, though he'll be in for a tougher matchup against the first-place Nationals on Tuesday.

If you're in need of a starter on Saturday, Miami Marlins pitcher Chris O'Grady could make for a nice addition. O'Grady has only made two starts this year, though his results haven't been terrible. In his lone road start on July 8, the lefty threw 5 1/3 innings and allowed three earned runs against the San Francisco Giants.

O'Grady and the Marlins face the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday, a team that's middle-of-the-road offensively against left-handed pitching.
