Marlins' Esteury Ruiz: Out with left oblique strain
www.cbssports.comHere's the latest on Esteury Ruiz, based on the most recent reports I can access.
- Ruiz is dealing with a left oblique strain and has been placed on the injured list. Initial assessments suggested a recovery window of about 6–8 weeks, which would sideline him through at least mid-May with Miami Marlins [reporting from Heavy Sports and CBS Sports cited below].[1][3]
- Early projections indicated he would likely begin the season on the injured list instead of the Opening Day roster, which led to extended IL expectations and prompted roster adjustments for the Marlins, including internal competition for outfield roles.[2][1]
