Florida Marlins Roster Report 2009-04-30


Florida Marlins Roster Report 2009-04-30
The team claimed LHP Dave Davidson off waivers from the Pirates and optioned him to Class AAA New Orleans. Davidson adds depth to a staff that lost LHP Taylor Tankersley, who had surgery to repair a stress fracture on a bone in his left elbow.

PLAYER NEWS:

--RHP Matt Lindstrom survived a bases-loaded jam Wednesday to pull off a first this season, recording saves in back-to-back games. Lindstrom pitched a perfect ninth inning Tuesday, but he loaded the bases Wednesday with two walks and a hit batter before getting Omir Santos to pop out for the final out. Lindstrom has consecutive saves since he gave up seven runs in the ninth inning Friday in a 7-3 loss to the Phillies.

--SS Hanley Ramirez missed a second consecutive game Wednesday because of a sore right hand. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said he was 80 percent sure Ramirez would start Thursday at Wrigley Field. Ramirez's hand is still swollen after being struck by a fastball from Mets RHP John Maine in the first inning Monday.

--1B Jorge Cantu's sore left hand apparently is getting better. Cantu homered off LHP Johan Santana on Wednesday for his third home run in two days. He missed three games late last week after aggravating the hand. He has four homers in five games since his return to action Saturday.

MEDICAL WATCH:

SS Hanley Ramirez (bruised right hand) left the April 27 game, and he didn't play April 28-29. He is likely to start April 30.

LHP Andrew Miller (strained right oblique) went on the 15-day disabled list April 21. The injury is not believed to be serious. He played long-toss April 28.

RHP Scott Proctor (sore right elbow) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 27. He won't return before mid-May.

RHP Rick VandenHurk (inflamed right elbow) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 28.
