Marlins place pitcher Alfonseca on disabled list

MIAMI -- The Florida Marlins placed right-hander Antonio Alfonseca on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a stress fracture in his elbow and was expected to be out at least two months.

Alfonseca, 0-1 with a 1.59 ERA in six games, left Thursday night's 10-1 loss to the New York Mets after one inning with right elbow pain. An MRI performed Friday confirmed the injury.

Right-hander Travis Smith was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque. The 32-year-old Smith was 2-0 with a 6.00 ERA in three starts.
