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.
Heliot Ramos went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen. The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
