MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Marlins probably should not count on players returning from the disabled list to spark a late-season turnaround.
Right-hander Edinson Volquez and shortstop J.T. Riddle will miss the rest of the season because of injuries, manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday. Volquez has been sidelined since July 17 because of a left knee injury, and Riddle has been out since July 19 with a left shoulder injury that will require surgery next week.
Volquez may also need surgery, Mattingly said.
In addition, first baseman Justin Bour is expected to be sidelined another four to six weeks because of a strained right oblique, and it’ll be at least three weeks before he resumes any baseball activity, Mattingly said.
