The Marlins placed Fortes on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right quadriceps strain.
Miami recalled Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will likely have him operate as the No. 2 option at catcher behind Ali Sanchez, who will make a second straight start Wednesday in place of Fortes. The 27-year-old Fortes had slashed .219/.246/.288 with two home runs, 18 RBI and 16 runs in 78 games before apparently suffering the injury at some point during his most recent start in Monday's 10-3 loss to the Reds.
