Aug 21 C Paul Lo Duca on Wednesday made his first start behind the plate since July 6. He went 2-for-3 with two singles but he made two errors, including a catcher's interference call that led to a run in the seventh inning. Lo Duca hit just .230 in just 46 games for Washington before he was released July 31. But he's hitting .292 this year (7-for-24) while batting second. Yahoo! Sports


Aug 21 The Miami Herald's Clark Spencer reports Florida Marlins C Paul Lo Duca (hand) injured his left hand when San Francisco Giants IF Ivan Ochoa's bat struck the back of his mitt on a pitchout during the Wednesday, Aug. 20, game between the two teams. No further details were available on his condition. KFFL


Aug 17 The Marlins purchased the contract of Lo Duca from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday. Lo Duca signed a minor-league deal with Florida on Aug. 8 after being released by the Washington Nationals following the trading deadline.

Advice: Lo Duca, who signed a $5 million, one-year contract with the Nationals as a free agent last December, batted .230 with 12 RBI in 46 games. He missed 52 games this season with two injuries to his right hand - a bruise and a broken hand. Along the way, Lo Duca lost his starting job to Jesus Flores.

Aug 16 The Marlins purchased Lo Duca's contract following Friday's loss to the Cubs, the Associated Press reports.

Recommendation: When the Marlins' best alternative was an injured Matt Treanor, it makes a little sense to take a chance on Lo Duca.
