Closer Leo Nunez has been placed on Major League Baseball’s restricted list and suspended by the Marlins for undisclosed reasons, a source said told The Miami Herald on Thursday.
“I can’t yet comment,” said Nunez’s agent, Andy Mota. “This is very recent. I don’t want to say anything at all.”
Nunez, who ranks seventh in the National League with 36 saves, was on his way to the Dominican Republic and not with the Marlins, who were headed for Milwaukee.
The 28-year-old right-hander has recorded 92 saves for the Marlins, third on the team’s all-time list, since being obtained from the Kansas City Royals in a 2008 trade for Mike Jacobs.
Nunez is entering his final season of arbitration eligibility and stands to earn in the neighborhood of $5.8 million next season.
The pitcher struggled in August and briefly lost his closer’s role. Nunez pitched the ninth inning of Wednesday’s 4-0 win over the Braves, walking a pair of batters but surviving the inning without giving up a run.
