Despaigne (oblique) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
The right-hander suffered an oblique strain early on in spring training and has yet to resume facing hitters, making it an easy decision for the Marlins to bump him to the DL to begin the season. Once he proves he's healthy after a rehab assignment in the minors, Despaigne could be a long-relief option for the big club.
