The Miami Marlins placed third baseman Jean Segura on the 10-day injured list and called up prospect Jacob Amaya on Saturday.
Segura, 33, has a left hamstring strain. He is batting .190 with one homer and 11 RBIs in 60 games during his first season with the Marlins.
The two-time All-Star is a career .281 hitter with 108 home runs and 503 RBIs in 1,388 games with six teams over 12 seasons.
Amaya, 24, is batting .278 with nine homers and 35 RBIs in 58 games this season at Triple-A Jacksonville. He has yet to make his major league debut but was not in the starting lineup for Saturday afternoon’s game against the host Washington Nationals.
Miami acquired the shortstop from the Dodgers in a Jan. 11 trade that sent infielder Miguel Rojas to Los Angeles.
