The Marlins placed Junk on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shin bone inflammation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Junk becomes the third Miami starting pitcher to hit the shelf in less than a month, joining Robby Snelling (elbow) and Eury Perez (hamstring). Junk is initially projected to miss 2-3 weeks due to the injury. As a result of the right-hander being scratched from his scheduled start Sunday against the Mets, the Marlins will have left-hander John King open the game in what will be a bullpen day.
