Miami Marlins third-base coach Jody Reed suffered a fracture in his right leg after getting hit by a foul ball in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
"He's going to be down," Marlins manager Skip Schumaker told reporters. "I'm not sure how long, but he had an X-ray and the doctor said it was broke."
Griffin Benedict, a quality assurance coach on Miami's staff, replaced Reed for the remainder of the game.
Reed joined the staff last fall following the hiring of Schumaker. He had previously worked with the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees' organizations in a variety of roles.
