Kyle Barraclough Lands On DL
6 years agoThe Miami Marlins placed relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough (back) on the 10-day disabled list on Friday with lower back stiffness. Outfielder Rafael Ortega was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans and relief pitcher Drew Rucinski (groin) has also been activated from the DL. It's been a bad couple weeks for Barraclough to put it nicely. He allowed 14 hits (three homers) and 14 earned runs in seven outings (5 2/3 innings) since July 21 to lose the closer role. Drew Steckenrider should be the favorite in the ninth now for the Fish, although Tayon Guerrero or Adam Conley could see some chances, too. Ortega was hitting .275 with only two home runs, 28 RBI and 12 steals in 92 games with New Orleans. He could see decent playing time in the outfield, but he's not much of a fantasy option.
