Fortes (oblique) lands on 10-day IL; Brantly recalled from Triple-A MIAMI -- The Marlins placed Opening Day catcher Nick Fortes on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Thursday) with a Grade 1 left oblique...

APRIL 11 • MLB.COM

Has Grade 1 oblique strain Fortes has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left oblique strain, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Impact It's the least severe grade of strain, but Fortes could still be out beyond the minimum 10 days. In the meantime, Liam Hicks will operate as the Marlins' primary catcher, with Rob Brantly backing him up.

Lands on injured list Fortes was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 10, with a left oblique strain.

Impact Fortes missed time last week with a neck issue and is now nursing an oblique injury, which could very well keep him out beyond the initial 10 days. Veteran catcher Rob Brantly was called up in a corresponding move to help Liam Hicks with the workload behind the plate in Miami.

Back in lineup Monday Fortes (neck) will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Liam Hicks will head back to the bench while Fortes checks into the starting lineup after a stiff neck kept him out of the lineup for the Marlins' past three contests. Assuming the neck issue doesn't crop up again, Fortes should see the lion's share of the starts at catcher this season.

Remains on bench Sunday Fortes (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Impact Fortes will be on the bench for a fourth game in a row while he contends with a stiff neck. Liam Hicks will get another start behind the dish, but the fact that the Marlins haven't called up another catcher from the minors over the last few days suggests that the team isn't too concerned about Fortes requiring a stint on the injured list.

Scratched from lineup Saturday Fortes was removed from Saturday's lineup against Atlanta due to neck stiffness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fortes was in Miami's original lineup for what would have been his first start since Tuesday. However, he was later removed due to the neck issue. Liam Hicks is starting behind the plate and batting ninth Saturday in Fortes' stead.

Resting Wednesday Fortes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Fortes will get a breather as the Marlins close out their series versus the Mets with a late-afternoon game. Liam Hicks will check in for Fortes behind the plate and will bat seventh.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Idle Monday Fortes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Fortes will get a breather Monday after he worked behind the dish in both of the final two games of the Marlins' weekend series versus Pittsburgh. Liam Hicks will pick up the start at catcher in place of Fortes, who has recorded one extra-base hit (two doubles, one triple) in each of his first three games of the season.

Sitting out Friday Fortes is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Fortes started Thursday's opener and in his last plate appearance was awarded a triple on a ball Oneil Cruz misplayed in center field. He'll begin the second game of the series on the bench as Liam Hicks makes his major-league debut.

Making return Monday Fortes (groin) will start at catcher and bat second in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.

Impact Fortes will rejoin the lineup for the first time since last Wednesday, when he sustained a groin contusion after being struck by a foul ball while catching. The missed time shouldn't put Fortes at any risk of not being ready for the start of the season, when he'll project to serve as Miami's No. 1 backstop.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with groin bruise Fortes was removed from Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals in the first inning due to a groin contusion, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fortes suffered the injury when a foul ball struck him in the lower body while he was catching in the top of the inning. Rob Brantly entered the contest in place of Fortes, who can be viewed as day-to-day.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Monday Fortes (back) is starting at catcher and batting eighth Monday against the Astros.

Impact Fortes was scratched from Sunday's lineup with back spasms but he is evidently over the issue a day later. Fortes is the incumbent behind the dish, while prospect Agustin Ramirez is the higher upside option who could push Fortes for playing time this summer.
