Florida Marlins Pitcher Goes On 15-Day DL

July 18th, 2008

I knew there had to be a reason that Andrew Miller was performing so badly his last 10 starts. He isn't horrible or a lost cause like most would believe, he was doing a terrible job because he was pitching in pain. A few months ago, I had reported that Andrew Miller had knee tendonitis and it seems as though this ailing gremlin has come back to haunt Andrew. The Marlins announced last night that Andrew would be put on a 15 Day DL. The struggling pitcher has been dealing with knee tendonitis since last season. Josh Johnson will now start on Sunday’s game against the Phillies and Chris Volstad will move up to Monday’s start to take Johnson’s place. I can only pray that Miller will make a speedy recover and come back to join the Marlins feeling as strong as a bull. Hopefully, when Andrew returns, he will be able to improve his 5.63 ERA and add some wins to his 5-9 record.
