Florida Marlins Roster Report 2009-04-13
UT Alfredo Amezaga was activated from the disabled list Sunday after missing most of spring training with a left knee sprain suffered in the World Baseball Classic. INF Andy Gonzalez was optioned to Class AAA New Orleans to make room for Amezaga.

PLAYER NEWS:

--C Ronny Paulino has made just two starts this year, both against left-handers, and the results suggest he'll start again when the Marlins face a lefty. Paulino went into Sunday 94-for-262 (.359) against lefties before going 1-for-3 against Johan Santana.

--1B Jorge Cantu was scratched from the lineup Sunday because of lingering soreness in his left hand. Cantu was hit by a pitch on Wednesday but was able to play Friday and Saturday because of an off-day Thursday.

Cantu said he re-aggravated the hand Saturday when he collided with Luis Castillo on a play at first base. Cantu was off to a hot start, batting .386 with two home runs and seven RBIs.

Wes Helms started at 1B Sunday.
