Graham

Pauley

Pauley retreats to the minors with rookie Owen Caissie back from the injured list. The 25-year-old has hit .190 (19-for-100) with one homer, 12 RBI and one steal in 41 games at the highest level this season.

The versatile 23-year-old has been really struggling the plate over the past few weeks, slashing .212/.241/.288 with zero homers and one RBI over 54 plate appearances in his last 15 games. Graham Pauley will man the hot corner for the Marlins and bat eighth against Mets’ right-hander Nolan McLean.

Pauley has struggled during his time with the Marlins this season, hitting just .176 (16-for-91) with one homer, 11 RBI and a stolen base in 36 games. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rece Hinds was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the club’s active roster.

Pauley loses his spot on Miami’s active roster with Liam Hicks returning from the injured list for Tuesday’s game against the Rockies. The 25-year-old corner infielder has hit .176 (16-fo-91) with one homer, 11 RBI and one steal in 36 games for the Marlins this season.

He’ll take the place of the recently demoted Connor Norby on the Marlins’ active roster. The 25-year-old has struggled during his time with the big league club this season, slashing .165/.211/.271 with just one homer and nine RBI in 91 plate appearances. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

With Leo Jiménez (head) returning from the injured list on Friday, Pauley will return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until his services are needed once more. The 25-year-old has hit just .165/.211/.271 with one homer and nine RBI in 91 plate appearances with the Marlins this season.

Pauley gets the call to replace Leo Jiménez (head) after Jiménez was placed on the 7-day IL. Pauley has struggled in his previous action with a .173/.225/.293 slash in 81 plate appearances, but he’ll get another shot to help the Miami bench with Jiménez unavailable.

The Marlins showed a surprising amount of faith in Pauley going into the season, but he hit just .173/.225/.293 in 81 plate appearances, and his exit velocity numbers are so poor that Statcast actually thinks he’s fortunate to have that line. He might get another look later, but there’s little reason to think he’s going to turn into a quality major leaguer. The Marlins will likely go with Connor Norby and Javier Sanoja at third base for now, opening up more time for Christopher Morel at first.

Pauley was responsible for the only three runs of the game, with his three-run blast giving the Marlins a 3-0 lead. The 25-year-old picks up his first homer of the season, and he’s slashing just .217/.254/.367 in his 52 at-bats. He has swung the stick better as of late, but fantasy managers can keep him off the radar for now.

It didn’t seem to be injury related; the Marlins just didn’t want Pauley facing a left-handed reliever. It worked out, too, as Javier Sanoja delivered a two-run single in his place. Pauley is hitting just .170/.204/.298 in 50 plate appearances.
