MIAMI — The Marlins have placed opening day starter Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list because of left elbow tightness. Luzardo, who was scheduled to pitch the opener of Miami's four-game series against Washington Friday, first experienced discomfort during his routine throwing on Thursday. He underwent imaging tests and the results have not been disclosed. Luzardo is 0-2 with a 6.58 ERA in five starts. Miami's injury-plagued starting rotation is one reason the Marlins have started an NL-worst 6-20 after reaching the playoffs last season.
