CHICAGO — The Miami Marlins placed outfielder Dane Myers on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right oblique strain.
Outfielder Derek Hill was reinstated from the 10-day IL before Monday’s 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. He had been sidelined by a left wrist sprain.
The 29-year-old Myers got hurt on an awkward slide when he stole second base in the eighth inning of Saturday’s 3-1 win against the White Sox. He is batting .337 with three homers and 14 RBI in 29 games.
Manager Clayton McCullough said the team would have a clearer picture of Myers’ possible return in the next week to 10 days.
“How he starts to feel will give us a better indication of what, ultimately, the length of his absence will be,” McCollough said.
Hill was in the lineup in center on Monday, hitting a two-run home run in the 7th inning after missing 22 games.
