MLB

The Miami Marlins placed right fielder Avisail Garcia on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

The team also brought up outfielder Dane Myers and right-hander Emmanuel Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville and designated left-hander Kent Emanuel for assignment.

Garcia, 32, is batting .240 with two home runs and two RBIs in 18 games this season.

He is a career .263 hitter with 140 homers and 524 RBIs in 1,104 games over 13 seasons with the Detroit Tigers (2012-2013), Chicago White Sox (2013-2018), Tampa Bay Rays (2019), Milwaukee Brewers (2020-2021) and Marlins. He was an All-Star with the White Sox in 2017.

Myers, 28, made his major league debut in July and batted .269 with a homer and nine RBIs in 22 games for the Marlins. He is hitting .237 with one homer and seven RBIs in 25 games at Jacksonville this season.

Ramirez, 29, has spent more than a decade in the minors and has yet to make his MLB debut. He has no decisions, three saves and a 3.86 ERA in seven relief appearances with Jacksonville this season.

Emanuel, 31, allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits in three innings of relief in Saturday’s 11-4 loss against the Washington Nationals. He has no decisions and a 10.50 ERA in two games out of the Miami bullpen this season.
