The Marlins are placing first baseman Christopher Morel on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained left oblique.
Miami is recalling first baseman Deyvison De Los Santos from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding transaction.
Morel, 26, was scratched ahead of Friday’s 2-1 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Opening Day.
He signed a one-year, $2 million deal with Miami in December after batting .219 with 11 homers and 33 RBIs in 105 games for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2025.
Morel is a career .222/.299/.415 hitter with 74 home runs and 210 RBIs in 477 games with the Chicago Cubs (2022-24) and Rays (2024-25).
De Los Santos, 22, has yet to make his major league debut. He went 2-for-4 with a homer, three RBIs and two runs scored in Jacksonville’s season-opening 8-7 loss to Rochester on Friday.
