"The Florida Marlins won't have their ace back until at least July after placing right-hander Josh Johnson on the 60-day disabled list Tuesday night.

The Miami Herald and the team's website reported that Johnson was transferred from the 15-day disabled list to make room on the Marlins' 40-man roster for rookie pitcher Elih Villanueva. Florida recalled Villanueva from the minors to start Game 1 of its doubleheader Wednesday at Philadelphia.

Because Johnson (right shoulder inflammation) was placed on the 15-day DL retroactive to May 17, he will be eligible to return in mid-July."
