08/16/2008 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Florida Marlins purchased the contract of veteran catcher Paul Lo Duca from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday.
Lo Duca, 36, was signed to a minor league contract by the Marlins on August 9, and had a .423 average (11-for-26) and seven RBI in seven games for the Isotopes.
Lo Duca was released by the Washington Nationals on August 1 after suffering from chronic problems involving a fractured right hand suffered in mid-April. He has spent most of the season on the disabled list and hit .230 with 12 RBI in 46 games with the Nationals.
This is his second stint with the Florida organization as he also played for the Marlins for half of the 2004 season and the entire 2005 campaign.
The club designated pitcher Justin Miller for assignment following Friday's 6-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs to make room on the roster for Lo Duca. Miller went 4-2 with a 4.24 earned run average in 46 games for the Marlins this season.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
