The Chicago Cubs placed reliever Carlos Marmol on the disabled list Saturday with a strained right hamstring and called up right-hander Casey Coleman from Triple-A Iowa.
Marmol left the game against the Milwaukee Brewers with two outs in the
seventh inning Friday night with a strained right hamstring, and will
return to Chicago to have an MRI exam. He had surrendered a run on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an
inning. He had a 1-2 count on Corey Hart.
The 29-year old had struggled all season, posting a 6.35 ERA in 15 games, including a loss and two blown saves.
Meanwhile, Casey Coleman is expected to be used often as a long man out of the bullpen. He posted a 2-3
record with a 3.48 ERA in 33 2/3 innings and had 30 strikeouts and 16
walks in Triple-A Iowa thus far. He is expected to be used as a long man out of the bullpen.
