Graham Pauley - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting against lefty Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Pauley has hit the bench for two of the Marlins' first three games, with both of his absences coming against southpaws. Heading into Opening Day, Pauley looked like he could be headed for a timeshare at third base with Connor Norby, but the Marlins should have starting roles against right-handed pitching available at the the corner-infield spots for both players while Christopher Morel (oblique) is on the shelf.

Playing third base Sunday Pauley (forearm) will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

Impact After experiencing tightness in his right forearm early in camp, Pauley had been limited to serving as a designated hitter through his first nine spring games, but he's finally been given the green light to make his debut in the field. Assuming he checks out fine following Sunday's contest, Pauley will be part of the Marlins' Opening Day roster, but it's unclear if he'll be deployed as Miami's primary third baseman to begin the season. Connor Norby has outproduced Pauley so far this spring, but if Norby is needed in left field to cover for the loss of Kyle Stowers (hamstring), Pauley would have a clearer path to regular at-bats at the hot corner.

Slated to play third base Sunday Pauley (forearm) is expected to play third base in Miami's spring-training finale Sunday against the Mets, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.

Impact Pauley has been seeing some action at DH during spring training while recovering from soreness in his right forearm, but the 25-year-old is on the brink of making his first Grapefruit League appearance in the field, which is encouraging for his Opening Day availability.

Nearing full clearance Pauley (forearm), who is batting sixth as the designated hitter in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, is expected to play defense in spring games next weekend, Chr...

Impact The 25-year-old recently progressed to playing defense in back field games but still needs a bit more time before doing so in Grapefruit League action. Pauley has been limited to serving as a designated hitter while working his way back from forearm tightness. The injury hasn't notably affected his production at the plate this spring, as he has a .316/.409/.474 slash line with a double, a triple and a steal in seven games.

Plays defense in backfields game Pauley (forearm) played five innings of defense in a backfields game Monday but did not throw, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Tuesday that Pauley will remain limited to designated hitter duty in Grapefruit League games "for a while." Pauley is working his way back from right forearm tightness and the club is deliberating rebuilding his throwing before he's allowed to play in games without restrictions. If healthy, Pauley could open the season as Miami's primary third baseman.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Not yet ready for defensive work Pauley (forearm) isn't yet cleared to play defense, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The 25-year-old had been used as a DH over the past week, batting .364 (4-for-11) in four games with a double, a triple and a 2:1 BB:K. Once Pauley receives clearance to see game action on defense, he'll resume his battle with Connor Norby for the Marlins' starting job at third base.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go at DH Pauley (forearm) is batting sixth as the designated hitter in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.

Impact Pauley has dealt with tightness in his right forearm early in camp, but he appears to be clear of any major issues and is making his spring debut Sunday. The 25-year-old likely won't be fully cleared until he's deemed ready to play the field, but he still has plenty of time to do so ahead of Opening Day.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Returning Sunday Pauley (forearm) will serve as Miami's designated hitter in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Impact Pauley's spring debut has been delayed this year due to forearm tightness, but he has seemingly made a full recovery and will begin playing in exhibition games this weekend. The 25-year-old slashed .224/.311/.366 with 11 RBI and 18 runs scored across 184 plate appearances with the Marlins last year and is the favorite to open the regular season as Miami's primary third baseman.

Cleared of UCL damage An MRI on Pauley's right arm did not show any UCL damage, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Impact It's not clear what the specific diagnosis was, but Pauley appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario. The infielder is able to field grounders but is not yet cleared for throwing or hitting. Pauley told Christina De Nicola of MLB.com on Tuesday that he could play in games as soon as later this week and no later than within two weeks. Pauley has a shot to be ready Opening Day, but it could be close.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Hopes to be back soon Pauley (forearm) said best-case he'll return to games later this week if not, within two weeks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reported Tuesday.

Impact He underwent imaging Monday after experiencing tightness, and it sounds like he has a chance to still be ready for Opening Day. Connor Norby will get a chance to play third base in the meantime.

Undergoes imaging for forearm issue Pauley underwent imaging due to forearm tightness, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pauley has yet to appear in a Grapefruit League game because of the issue and has not improved as hoped, so the Marlins sent him for tests. Results of the imaging should be available within a day or two. If healthy, Pauley is in the mix to start at third base for Miami.

Could be favorite for 3B job Pauley may be the favorite to win the Marlins' starting job at third base over Connor Norby due to his superior defense, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact A platoon could also emerge between the lefty-swinging Pauley and the right-handed Norby if neither seizes the starting gig this spring. However, Pauley would seem to have the edge after recording six Outs Above Average last season, tied for fifth among third baseman, while seeing his offense pick up in the second half. Norby is also expected to get some work in the outfield during camp, which could signal a transition into a utility role. Pauley slashed a respectable .250/.367/.474 over 90 plate appearances after the All-Star break in 2025 with four homers, two steals and a sharp 14:15 BB:K.

Seeing semi-frequent playing time Pauley will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one position, Pauley has now picked up starts in four of the Marlins' six games since being reinstated from the injured list Monday. He's seen action at three different spots in the infield, making two starts at third base and one apiece at second base and first base.

Back at full strength Pauley (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

Impact Pauley began a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Wednesday and is ready to return to big-league action after putting a right oblique injury behind him. He's made 48 starts at third base so far this season and should see opportunities down the stretch behind Connor Norby, though he could also receive occasional starts at second and first base when either Liam Hicks or Xavier Edwards (wrist) need a day off.

Kicking off rehab assignment Pauley (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pauley has been on the shelf for more than three weeks with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to return to game action. He will play third base for Jacksonville on Wednesday and shouldn't need too many rehab contests before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Pauley will beat Connor Norby (quadriceps) back from the IL, so the former should be the Marlins' primary third baseman when he returns, at least until the latter is ready.
