Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesús Luzardo delivers during the first inning in the first baseball game of a doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs, Saturday, April 20, 2024, in Chicago. MIAMI — The Marlins placed opening day starter Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list Friday because of left elbow tightness.
“I felt just felt a little tight more than normal I guess you could say, a tightness I don’t feel normally have before a start,” Luzardo said. “It was more precautionary. I wanted to get ahead of it before something worse happened.” “I feel there is always concern, as a pitcher, whether it’s a shoulder or an elbow,” Luzardo said. “Like I said it’s something I’m not too worried about. I think it’s just a little stiffness. Hopefully it just gets to relax, miss a start or two and wishful thinking, get back to throwing in a couple of days.”
