The Marlins placed shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a left oblique strain and recalled infielder J.T. Riddle from Triple A New Orleans.
With third baseman Martin Prado already on the DL, Hechavarria’s injury leaves the Marlins (3-2), who close out a three-game series against the Mets Sunday night at 8 p.m., without their regular starters on the left side of the infield for the immediate future.
The Marlins are optimistic Prado, who suffered a left hamstring injury on March 15 while playing for Venezuela during the World Baseball Classic, could be back in the lineup at some point during the team’s six homestand this coming week.
