Florida right-hander Burke Badenhop was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained muscle near his neck Sunday, one day after he allowed five earned runs in 1 2-3 innings against the Chicago Cubs. Right-hander Tim Wood was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to fill Badenhop's spot. Wood didn't allow a run in 7 2-3 innings in four appearances with the Marlins earlier this season.
