Max Meyer Lands on IL With Neck Strain
The Marlins ace felt discomfort before the All-Star Break, briefly improved, then reaggravated the issue in his first post-break start.
Miami placed starter Max Meyer on the 15-day injured list retroactive to July 19 with a neck strain. Meyer had felt discomfort before the All-Star Break but believed extra rest had resolved it, only for the problem to return in his first start back. He will now consult a specialist, leaving his return timeline unclear. Meyer had been one of the Marlins' best pitchers this season, posting a 2.68 ERA over 111 innings across 20 starts.
