Miami Marlins Pitcher Placed On Injured List

The Miami Marlins have placed Anthony Bender on the 15-day injured list because of an elbow strain.

Bender has had a solid second season for the Marlins this season, so seeing him have to miss time is rough. In 22 games on the year, he has a 1-3 record to go along with a 3.26 ERA. Even with the Marlins not fighting for a playoff spot, it is never a good thing to lose a reliable bullpen arm.

Here's to hoping that Bender has a speedy recovery and can return to the hill as soon as this 15-day stint on the IL passes.
