Florida Marlins Roster Report 2009-05-01


Florida Marlins Roster Report 2009-05-01
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:

--CF Cameron Maybin on Thursday finally scratched out a hit with a runner in scoring position. His bunt in the 10th inning scored Wes Helms with the Marlins' fourth run, snapping an 0-for-18 skid with runners in scoring position.

--SS Hanley Ramirez missed a third consecutive game Thursday because of a sore right hand. He tried to hit in the batting cage before the game but cut it short. A few minutes later he was asked how it went. "Not good," he said. Ramirez's hand remains swollen, and he could be at least a few more days from returning. "We've got to make sure he can take a few flips," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He said it's sore when he moves it a little bit."

Ramirez's hand has been swollen since it was struck by a fastball from the Mets' John Maine in the first inning Monday.

--LHP Graham Taylor hopes to regain his control when he makes his second career start Friday. Taylor blamed jitters for walking six batters and allowing four runs in 3 2/3 innings Sunday against the Phillies.

MEDICAL WATCH:

SS Hanley Ramirez (bruised right hand) left the April 27 game, and he didn't play April 28-30. He might miss a few more games.

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.
