A.J. Puk Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Shoulder Fatigue
The Miami Marlins' left-hander struggles with performance issues, further complicating the team's pitching roster.
- A.J. Puk, converted from a reliever to a starter this season, has been placed on the 15-day IL following a series of poor performances.
- Puk's recent outing saw him allow seven runs over three innings, contributing to a season ERA of 9.22.
- The Marlins are also dealing with significant injuries among other pitchers, including season-ending surgeries for Sandy Alcantara and Eury Pérez.
- Rookie Roddery Munoz and Kyle Tyler were called up to bolster the pitching staff amid these challenges.
- Puk's transition back to a reliever role could be considered as he recovers from shoulder fatigue.
