Martin Prado suffered another injury setback in what’s been a frustrating 2017 season for the veteran third baseman.

Prado was placed on the 10-day disabled list by the Marlins late Monday night after he suffered a right knee strain.

The Marlins plan to reinstate shortstop Miguel Rojas, who has experience at every position in the infield, before their next game Tuesday.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said the injury occurred in the third inning when Prado fielded a ground ball by Phillies pitcher Jerad Eickhoff and threw to first base.

Prado remained in the game for one more inning and struck out in the fourth before being replaced in the fifth by Derek Dietrich.
