Miami Marlins rookie infielder Connor Norby (foot) is back at third base and hitting leadoff on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and left-hander Bailey Falter at PNC Park. Norby fouled a ball off his foot on Monday and was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday as a result, but the injury obviously wasn't serious enough to keep him sidelined for more than one day. With the Fish playing out the string in 2024, the 24-year-old prospect is going to see everyday playing time at third base the rest of the way. He's the team's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and has looked good at the plate since being acquired at the trade deadline from the Orioles. Norby is already up to six home runs and has seven doubles, 13 RBI and two stolen bases in just 19 games played since coming to South Beach. Get him back into your starting lineups on Wednesday.
Miami Marlins rookie infielder Connor Norby (undisclosed) has been scratched from the team's starting lineup on Tuesday at PNC Park against the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates for undisclosed reasons. Fantasy managers will want to check back for further updates on why Norby was scratched. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now. Jake Burger is starting at third and batting third, while David Hensley will start at first and bat eighth against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski. Norby, who came over from the Baltimore Orioles in the trade that sent lefty Trevor Rogers to the O's in late July, has looked like the high-end prospect he is in his first 19 games for Miami this year, going 24-for-77 (.312) with six home runs, seven doubles and 13 RBI in 82 plate appearances. He has a bright future in the big leagues and already deserves love in mixed fantasy leagues.
Miami Marlins second baseman Connor Norby continued to torch the ball on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a pair of homers and four RBI in a 10-1 win. Both of Norby's homers were two-run shots, with the first opening up the score in the first inning and the second breaking the game wide open in the third. The trade deadline acquisition has been fantastic since his move to Miami, belting six homers and hitting .329 in 73 at-bats. He looks to be a big part of the Marlins' future and might be a fantasy mainstay as well. He should be rostered in most leagues for fantasy playoffs.
Connor Norby With A Home Run And Three RBI On Saturday
Miami Marlins infielder Connor Norby kept on hitting on Saturday, going 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a 9-5 win over the Phillies. He's now collected at least one hit in 16 of 17 games since the Marlins called him up, posting a .319-4-9-16-2 line over that stretch. If there's something to be concerned about it is the high strikeout rate (33.0%) and below-average walk rate (4.7%) on the season between Baltimore and Miami, but that can be expected from a 24-year-old making his major league debut. Plus, he's marginally improved both during his time with the Marlins. Regardless, the former second-round draft pick looks like the real deal and should prove to be a solid contributor for the remainder of this season.
Miami Marlins second baseman and outfielder Connor Norby hit his first homer for the team on Saturday in a 14-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Norby was traded to the Marlins by the Baltimore Orioles in the Trevor Rogers acquisition at the trade deadline. In 20 at-bats over the last week, Norby has six hits, with one home run, two RBI, one stolen base, and four runs scored. It appears that Norby will get an extended run in the daily lineup for the also-ran Marlins and that he could be a good source of counting statistics for the team.
Miami Marlins second base prospect Connor Norby is getting called back up to the big leagues. Norby was traded to the Marlins at this year's deadline and was then sent down to Triple-A, but after slashing .263/.300/.368 in 13 games the Marlins are bringing him up to the majors. Norby wasn't good in his two short appearances in Baltimore earlier this year, but he has good upside and should be able to hit for some power now that he's out of Camden Yards. The 24-year-old doesn't need to be added outside of the deepest of leagues, but keep an eye on him.
Miami Marlins second base prospect Connor Norby extended his hitting streak with Triple-A Jacksonville to eight games with a 1-for-4 performance on Tuesday. Norby, acquired from Baltimore at the trade deadline, has hit safely in eight of his nine games with the Jumbo Shrimp. The 24-year-old made his big-league debut and hit two homers in the majors with the Orioles before the trade. But he was assigned to Triple-A with Miami and has been making the most of his time with Jacksonville. The Marlins could give Norby an opportunity to return to the majors before the season ends.
Miami Marlins second base prospect Connor Norby went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Sunday for Triple-A Jacksonville, his first since being traded to Miami from the Baltimore Orioles. Overall, Norby has struggled with his new organization, slashing just .237/.293/.368 with three extra-base hits and 3:15 BB/SO through 41 plate appearances. Despite recent woes, he's still having an impressive season overall. In 97 total games this year, he's slashing .282/.366/.495 with 24 doubles, 19 homers, 63 RBI, 13 stolen bases, and 50:131 BB/SO. Norby has had two brief stints in the majors with Baltimore, but he's yet to make his Marlins debut.
Miami Marlins second base prospect Connor Norby has gone 1-for-10 at the plate with six punchouts since joining the Miami Marlins organization. Norby was the headliner piece that sent left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers to Baltimore at the deadline. However, at Triple-A Norfolk earlier this summer, the East Carolina product held an excellent .297/.382/.506 line with 16 home runs and 13 stolen bases. Through his brief nine-game taste of the big leagues, Norby posted a .188/.188/.406 slash line. Currently ranked as the number-five best prospect in the Marlins system on MLB.com, he should be in line to receive another look at the big leagues later this summer. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Norby over the next few weeks, as he will need to improve his production before getting the call.
The Miami Marlins optioned infield prospect Connor Norby to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday after acquiring him on Tuesday from the Baltimore Orioles as part of the package that sent left-hander Trevor Rogers to Baltimore. Per MLB Pipeline, Norby slots in as Miami's No. 5 prospect after the trade. The 24-year-old is for real, but apparently the Fish want to give him some more time to develop in the minors before making him their everyday second baseman. Before the trade, he was serving as Baltimore's regular second baseman with Jorge Mateo (elbow) injured. Norby was hitting only .188/.188/.406 with two homers, a double and 12 strikeouts in his first nine big-league games in 2024, but his long-term power/speed upside has made him a high-end dynasty/prospect stash.
