The Colorado Rockies placed second baseman DJ LeMahieu on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a left oblique strain.
In a corresponding move, Colorado called up shortstop Garrett Hampson.
LeMahieu exited Friday's 11-10 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks before the bottom of the third inning because of the injury.
This year has been an unlucky one for the second basemen, who has already been on the disabled list because of a hamstring strain and a sprained thumb.
LeMahieu had avoided these types of problems in the past, playing at least 145 games in each of the last four seasons.
