Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Miami Marlins announced a transaction that impacts their Double-A affiliate Jacksonville Suns roster prior to tonight's game against the Tennessee Smokies at Bragan Field at 3:05 p.m.

Infielder Miguel Tejada has been reinstated from the restricted list and placed on Triple-A New Orleans' disabled list with right rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Tejada, a six-time All-Star and the 2002 American League Most Valuable Player, played in four games with the Suns hitting .357 (5-for-14) with a double and two runs scored. Tejada was signed by the Marlins as a minor league free agent in May, and was with the Suns on a rehab assignment off of the restricted list.

The Suns roster now stands at 25 active players, plus infielder Rafael Furcal on his major league rehab assignment, and a revised roster is attached.

Today the Suns will start the left-hander Justin Nicolino (5-2, 3.23), with the Smokies set to throw out righty Matt Loosen (3-2, 5.01) for Sunday's fourth game of the series.

Suns fans can listen to Sunday's game on the Suns Baseball Network, 94.1 WSOS-FM or throughwww.jaxsuns.com, MiLB.com or the Suns iPhone or Android app, beginning at 2:50 p.m. ET with the Memorial Hospital Suns Pregame Show on Suns Sunday.

The 2014 season of Suns baseball is presented by EverBank, the official banking partner of the Jacksonville Suns. Sponsorships, group outings, and season / individual game tickets are currently available by calling the Suns front office at (904) 358-2846.
