Marlins ace Josh Johnson skipped a throwing session on Tuesday and didn't stretch with his teammates as he was dealing with some back pain. Wednesday, he was sent to South Florida to get examined by Dr. Lee Kaplan, and the results are in:
#Marlins Josh Johnson has no structural damage, right shoulder inflammation. mid-back strain. No determination on next start.

Johnson doesn't have anything serious going on in either his back or his shoulder, which is good news for everyone. However, he's still been scratched from his Friday start, and just when he'll return to action is up in the air. Joe Frisaro implies that the Marlins may even opt to shut Johnson down for the rest of the year, as the team has little reason to push its ace harder than it has to.
Johnson has a 2.30 ERA over 28 starts, with 186 strikeouts in 183.2 innings. Check out more over at Fish Stripes.
