Shifting to shortstop Villar will operate as the Marlins' primary shortstop until Miguel Rojas (illness) returns from the injured list, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact Villar started at second base, center field and designated hitter over the first three games of the season before Miami's COVID-19 outbreak, but he'll shift to shortstop while Rojas is sidelined. The 29-year-old is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Tuesday at Baltimore, and he should remain a fixture at the top of the order for the rest of the season, regardless of where he's playing in the field.

Impact Aaron Nola and Sandy Alcantara were tied 1-1 in the sixth inning before Aguilar created some separation with his first long ball as a Marlin.

Held out with back spasms Villar wasn't in the lineup for Thursday's intrasquad matchup as he deals with minor back spasms, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The issue doesn't sound overly serious, but the team elected to use caution by giving Villar a day off Thursday. The 29-year-old reportedly felt better as the intrasquad game approached, but he'll still be held out to avoid risk. Since both Villar and the Marlins didn't sound too concerned, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action in the coming days.

Primed for big opportunity Dickerson is expected to hit third and serve as the Marlins everyday left fielder during the 2020 season, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dickerson recorded an impressive .906 OPS in 78-injury-riddled games last season with the Pirates and Phillies while battling a variety of hand and foot injuries. Having signed a two-year, $17.5 million deal with Miami in the offseason, the power-hitting outfielder will look to fulfill high expectations during his 2020 campaign. Dickerson will likely be slotted behind Jonathan Villar and Brian Anderson, who should provide plenty of RBI opportunities.
