Making fourth consecutive start Norby will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

Impact It's the third straight start at second base and fourth consecutive start overall for Norby, who is slashing .289/.386/.500 with one home run in his first 13 games with the Rockies. Willi Castro has been playing third base in place of the injured Kyle Karros (concussion), and Norby could continue to fill in at second base while Karros is out.

Heads into Monday with eight-game hit streak Norby will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Norby will head into the series opener in Washington, D.C. riding an eight-game hitting streak, during which he's batted .375 with one home run, one stolen base, five runs and two RBI. He'll be making his fourth start in six games and appears to have settled into a near-everyday role in the Colorado infield after third baseman Kyle Karros (concussion) played just two games before landing back on the 7-day injured list.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Records homer in loss Norby went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a strikeout during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Norby rocketed a solo shot off Cade Smith in the bottom of the ninth for his first homer as a Rockie. Norby entered the game late after taking over for Kyle Karros in the sixth. The 26-year-old extended his hitting streak to seven games, one short of his season-high that he recorded in April with Miami. This year, Norby has slashed .215/.321/.351 with five long balls, 18 RBI and eight stolen bases over 265 plate appearances.

AUGUST 23 • Associated Press

Collects steal in win Norby went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 13-7 win over the Giants.

Impact Norby entered the game as a defensive replacement and was able to chip in a steal. He has two thefts over his last three games despite going a modest 2-for-7 in that span. For the season, he's batting .203 with a .638 OPS, eight steals, four home runs, 16 RBI and 19 runs scored over 70 games between the Rockies and the Marlins.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to bench Sunday Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Though he'll head to the bench Sunday, Norby looks to have emerged as the Rockies' preferred option at second base while Willi Castro has moved over to third base as a replacement for Kyle Karros (concussion). Adael Amador will cover the keystone in the series finale in San Francisco, but Norby occupied the position each of the previous four contests and went 1-for-10 with one double, four walks, one stolen base and one run.

AUGUST 15 • MLB.COM

Three straight starts Norby went 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Giants.

Impact Norby was recalled to the majors as a depth option, but Kyle Karros' (concussion) subsequent placement on the injured list has opened up a starting opportunity. Willi Castro has shifted to third base, while Norby has made three consecutive starts at second base. He has yet to collect a hit, but he has earned four free passes in 11 plate appearances.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Colorado The Rockies recalled Norby from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Impact The move corresponds with the Rockies placing Tyler Freeman (back) on the 10-day injured list. Norby appeared in 65 games for the Marlins and slashed .203/.313/.325 with six steals, four homers and 16 RBI over 233 plate appearances before being traded to the Rockies on Monday, Aug. 3. Norby gives Colorado some additional depth at both first and third base.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Dealt to Rockies The Marlins traded Norby and Aiden May to the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Victor Vodnik, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Norby, who was optioned to Triple-A on June 26, has a .234/.302/.383 slash line with 21 home runs, 17 steals and 0.8 fWAR in 198 career games in the majors. He played 43 games at first base, 13 games at third base and 12 games at designated hitter with Miami.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Dispatched to minors The Marlins optioned Norby to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Impact Norby is slashing only .194/.306/.290 in June and had started back-to-back games on only one occasion. He will aim to get his swing in order at Jacksonville.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Norby to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Norby has had a dismal June with a .194/.306/.290 slash line across 36 plate appearances. The utility fielder had been seeing a decrease in playing time in June, and now he will try to reset in Triple-A. A corresponding move is yet to be revealed.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Filling in at third base Norby will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Though he'll crack the starting nine for the series finale in Pittsburgh, Norby's playing time has been trending down of late while the Marlins have made a more concerted effort to keep the hot-hitting Heriberto Hernandez's bat in the lineup. Norby will be included in the lineup for just the fifth time in the last 11 games, this time covering the hot corner in place of a resting Javier Sanoja after his previous four starts had come at first base. With Hernandez gaining a foothold in left field, the Marlins could continue to lean primarily on Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers at first base rather than Norby, who is slashing a measly .193/.317/.307 since the beginning of May.

JUNE 14 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from lineup Norby is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Norby reached base in all three of his plate appearances in Tuesday's game, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Christopher Morel will handle first base and bat seventh for the Marlins.

JUNE 10 • Associated Press

Not in Friday's lineup Norby is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.

Impact Norby is in a 3-for-34 slump at the plate, so he will get a day to regroup. Kyle Stowers will cover first base for the Marlins, and Esteury Ruiz is getting the call in left field.
