MIAMI (AP) — Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen has been placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Miami Marlins because of a sprained elbow, and right-hander Jarred Cosart will be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to start Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Chen, who is 5-4 with a 4.99 ERA, complained of elbow soreness after his most recent start, manager Don Mattingly said Sunday. The injury is a blow to the Marlins' already thin rotation, and they'll likely intensify efforts to acquire a starter before the trade deadline.
Chen signed an $80 million, five-year deal with Miami last offseason after four seasons in Baltimore, where he went 46-32 and was a model of durability, making 117 starts.
