 Fernandez, who was removed from Friday's game complaining of pain in
his arm, has a right biceps strain, according to the Miami Herald.
He is likely to be sidelined for a few weeks, and there is no
timetable for his return.
The Marlins may decide to shut down the 23-year-old Fernandez for
the remainder of the season. However, the good news is that there
was no damage to his surgically repaired elbow or to his shoulder.
Fernandez returned last month after having Tommy John elbow surgery
in 2014. He is 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA in seven starts this season.
