Marlins placed RHP Carter Capps on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 26, with a right elbow sprain. The severity of the injury isn't yet known. Capps, 23, had a 3.00 ERA and 15 strikeouts over 12 innings since being recalled from the minors a month ago.

Marlins recalled RHP Carter Capps from Triple-A New Orleans. He'll assume the bullpen spot left vacated by Arquimedes Caminero. Acquired from the Mariners over the winter for Logan Morrison, Capps posted a 1.64 ERA with 17 strikeouts over 11 innings to earn the promotion.

Marlins optioned RHP Carter Capps to Triple-A New Orleans. Acquired from the Mariners over the winter for Logan Morrison, Capps posted a 3.60 ERA and 8/5 K/BB ratio across 10 innings this spring. While most assumed he would get a roster coming into spring training, he'll surely contribute out of the big league bullpen at some point this season.

Carter Capps struck out four in two scoreless innings of relief Wednesday against the Braves. The hard-throwing Capps was the Marlins' return in the Logan Morrison trade with the Mariners. Overall, he's allowed two runs and posted a 5/3 K/BB ratio in five innings this spring. A bullpen spot appears to be his to lose.

Marlins acquired RHP Carter Capps from the Mariners for 1B Logan Morrison. It's not a great return for LoMo, though the Marlins probably weren't expecting much after the way his career flat-lined in Miami. Capps posted an ugly 5.49 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 59 innings this past season with Seattle. He'll serve as a setup man for the Marlins.

Mariners recalled RHP Carter Capps from Triple-A Tacoma. He'll replace Tom Wilhelmsen in the Mariners' bullpen. Capps has an ugly 6.37 ERA in 33 appearances this season, but owns a 42/12 K/BB ratio over 35 1/3 innings.

Mariners optioned RHP Carter Capps to Triple-A Tacoma. Capps has good raw stuff but has registered a disappointing 6.37 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 35 1/3 innings this season despite a cool 42/12 K/BB ratio. The young right-hander will work on his craft at the Triple-A level.

Carter Capps gave up a pair of homers Tuesday against the Pirates and has now allowed 10 runs in his last four appearances. It's taken his ERA from 3.54 to 5.97, and he's now in serious danger of being sent down. Capps was supposed to emerge as the No. 2 man in Seattle's pen this year, and with 40 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings, he's still showing that kind of potential. He's a mess right now, though.

Mariners manager Eric Wedge said he'll likely use Carter Capps as the setup man to Tom Wilhelmsen while Stephen Pryor is on the disabled list. Capps has been knocked around the last two times out and has a 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP, but he's also struck out 10 over seven innings and possesses a great arm. Wilhelmsen is off to a great start and has plenty of job security, but Capps might be worth a stash in AL-only formats.
