Back in big leagues The Marlins recalled Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Impact Pauley was just sent down Thursday but returns to take the roster spot of the injured Derek Hill (wrist). With Connor Norby back in tow at third base, Pauley's playing time with the Marlins could be limited.

Heading back to Triple-A Miami optioned Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Impact The Marlins had optioned Pauley to Triple-A on March 16, but he ended up being recalled just over a week later and was included on the Opening Day roster after Connor Norby suffered an oblique strain in the team's second-to-last spring training game and was placed on the injured list. Pauley had served as Miami's primary third baseman against right-handed pitching over the first three weeks of the season but didn't do much with the opportunity, slashing .191/.235/.277 over 52 plate appearances. With Norby completing a rehab assignment and returning from the IL on Thursday, Pauley will now head to Jacksonville, where he'll get the chance to play on an everyday basis.

Headed to minors The Marlins plan to option Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Impact Pauley has received regular reps at third base in the absence of Connor Norby (oblique) but has slashed just .205/.234/.295 across 13 games. His poor start will result in him heading back to the minors, and his demotion could prove to be the corresponding move for Norby's return from the IL.

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

Impact Pauley went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI over the Marlins' first two games of the season, but he'll head to the bench for a second straight day with Pittsburgh sending another southpaw (Andrew Heaney) to the bump. Jonah Bride will step in at third base for the lefty-hitting Pauley, who looks poised to fill a strong-side platoon role until Connor Norby (oblique) is ready to return from the injured list.

Idle against southpaw Pauley isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact The lefty-hitting Pauley will grab a seat on the bench Saturday while the Pirates send the lefty-throwing Bailey Falter to the hill. Jonah Bride will cover third base as a result, moving Kyle Stowers to the DH spot while Javier Sanoja gets the starting nod in left field.

Raps out double in Friday's loss Pauley went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Pirates.

Impact The 24-year-old has started back-to-back games at third base for the Marlins to begin the season, going 2-for-6 with a strikeout while batting at the bottom of the order. Pauley appears to be Miami's top option at the hot corner while Connor Norby (oblique) is on the shelf, but Eric Wagaman -- who pinch hit for Pauley in the seventh inning against southpaw Caleb Ferguson -- and Jonah Bride could get short-side platoon work at the position as well.

Impact Pauley was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville earlier this month, but he has already rejoined the Marlins in Miami for their exhibition game versus the Yankees on Tuesday and is getting the start at third base. He could see some action at the hot corner while Norby misses the next four weeks. Eric Wagaman and Jonah Bride are also candidates to fill in at third base.

Optioned to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Pauley to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Impact Pauley was acquired by the Marlins from the Padres in late July in a trade package centered around Tanner Scott. Pauley will begin the 2025 regular season in Triple-A after going 7-for-26 with two walks and four RBI in spring training. He appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Padres in 2024 and could see some action in the majors in 2025 if the Marlins are in need of depth in the infield.

Impact The 23-year-old saw some action with the Padres early in the season but has spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level. Pauley went 4-for-32 with 15 strikeouts in his first taste of the majors and has also underwhelmed at Triple-A this year with a .228/.342/.390 slash line. He'll have a clearer path to playing time with the Marlins and could receive another look in the majors before the end of the season.

Back with big club Pauley is starting at third base and batting ninth in Saturday's contest against the Blue Jays, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Pauley started the season in the majors due to Manny Machado being limited to DH duties with an elbow injury. Pauley went 2-for-15 with one home run and three RBI before being optioned to Triple-A El Paso on April 9. He's had better success in the minors, slashing .290/.436/.677 with four home runs and 11 RBI over 39 plate appearances in Triple-A. Pauley will hope to bring some of that production from El Paso to his second big-league stint. The Padres optioned Matthew Batten to make room for Pauley, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune.
