Out of Commission

Continuing to experience stiffness in his pitching arm, Florida Marlins righty Josh Johnson left the game against the San Diego Padres last night after just five innings. He was promptly placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Johnson missed the first 2 1/2 months of the season while recovering from an irritated ulnar nerve in his right elbow, and made only four starts since his activation on June 18th.
