Ruf was placed on the injured list with a right oblique strain Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 20.

Ruf hadn't appeared in either of the last two games, and his absence was apparently due to an oblique issue. The severity of the injury isn't yet clear, and whether he's able to return prior to the end of the regular season remains to be seen. Wilmer Flores could see a slight uptick in playing time as the primary backup at first base, while Alex Dickerson (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.
