Connor Norby went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base against the Phillies on Sunday.
Norby had his best game since returning from the injured list Sunday. While he’s still yet to drive in a run, Norby had three hits including a double and stole his first base. The 24-year-old third baseman was batting third in the order so the opportunities to drive in runs will be there. He should be rostered in all formats at this point.
Connor Norby is not in the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Phillies.
Norby has gone 2-for-9 with four strikeouts in a pair of contests since returning from a three-week stint on the injured list with an oblique strain. It’ll be Graham Pauley at the hot corner on Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. The 24-year-old has an opportunity to establish himself as one of the centerpieces of Miami’s lineup and possesses an intriguing blend of fantasy-relevant tools. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper fantasy formats.
Marlins activated 3B Connor Norby from the 10-day injured list.
Norby has been sidelined since early in spring training with an oblique injury and will make his long-awaited return to the Marlins’ lineup. Last year, Norby slashed .238/.300/.439 in 41 games with the Marlins after being traded by the Orioles. He hit eight home runs and stole three bases, but he also struck out 34 percent of the time. Strikeouts had not been much of an issue for Norby before 2024, so perhaps pushing for a job in Baltimore caused him to be far more aggressive, which led to more swing-and-miss. He has enough power and speed that it’s worth adding him in most formats to see if he has an approach change now that he is locked into a starting job.
Connor Norby (oblique) went 3-for-4 with a solo homer on Saturday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Jacksonville.
Norby figures to only require a handful of additional rehab games to get back up to speed before returning to Miami’s lineup after opening the year on the shelf with an oblique strain. Barring something unexpected, he should be ready to return at some point next week.
