MIAMI (AP) -- Miami Marlins left fielder Christian Yelich has been placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Monday because of a lower back strain.
Yelich, who also spent a two-week stint on the disabled list last season with a similar injury, is batting only .200 with 13 strikeouts in 11 games.
The Marlins recalled first baseman Justin Bour from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday as they opened as homestand against Washington. Ichiro Suzuki has been filling in for Yelich in left field.
Miami also placed catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia on the paternity list and selected catcher Jhonatan Solano from New Orleans.
