08:11 AM ET 06.15 | The scuffling Marlins had to make a difficult roster move Tuesday. In order to make roster space for Wednesday's starter, the Marlins will transfer ace Josh Johnson from the 15- day disabled list to the 60-day DL. Johnson has not pitched since May 16 as a result of right shoulder inflammation, and moving him to the 60-day DL means he will not be eligible to be reinstated until after the All-Star break. In nine starts this season, Johnson pitched to a 3-1 record with a microscopic 1.64 earned run average. The impending move was made necessary as a result of Elih Villanueva getting called up from Triple A New Orleans to make a spot start in the opener of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Phillies.

Tough seeing one of the NLs finest being shelved. But he has had injury problems in the past.
