Caissie went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
The 23-year-old outfielder has gone 19 straight games without a home run, a slump that has seen him manage just a .164/.217/.236 slash line with five RBI and a brutal 48.3 percent strikeout rate. With Esteury Ruiz off the IL, Caissie could begin to see his playing time slip until he figures out big-league pitching.
Caissie is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Caissie had started the Marlins' last four games, but he'll take a seat against Tarik Skubal. He'll be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Graham Pauley and Liam Hicks.

Rotowire
Caissie went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Reds.

After striking out in his first at-bat Thursday, Caissie doubled home a pair of runs in the fourth, doubled and scored in the sixth and singled home another run in the seventh. Thursday marked Caissie's eighth start in 13 games, as he hasn't started against a lefty since Opening Day. He's now slashing .324/.385/.618 with four doubles, two home runs, 12 RBI, six runs scored, one stolen base and a 3:13 BB:K across 39 trips to the plate.
Marlins' Owen Caissie: Sitting against another lefty
Rotowire
Caissie is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
Caissie has maintained an excellent .926 OPS through the Marlins' first nine games, but manager Clayton McCullough isn't yet ready to give the left-handed-hitting outfielder more opportunities against same-handed pitching. The 23-year-old will hit the bench for a third consecutive game while the Marlins face off against another lefty (Brandon Williamson), paving the way for Austin Slater to receive another start in right field.
Caissie went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Yankees.
The rookie right fielder launched a Will Warren fastball over the right-field fence in the fifth inning. Caissie has had an impressive start to his Marlins tenure, batting .348 (8-for-23) through seven games with two doubles, two homers, on steal, four runs and nine RBI.
Marlins' Owen Caissie: Hitting bench against southpaw
Rotowire
Caissie is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
The 23-year-old started the first two games of the season and has gone 4-for-8 with two doubles, a stolen base, two RBI and a run scored, but he'll take a seat Sunday with lefty Jose Quintana pitching for Colorado. However, the left-handed-hitting Caissie doesn't seem to be in a strict platoon, given that he started against left-hander Kyle Freeland on Opening Day. Austin Slater will draw the starting nod in right field in the series finale.
Caissie went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Marlins' 4-3 win over the Rockies on Sunday.
The lefty-hitting Caissie opened Sunday's game on the bench due to the Rockies sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound. Caissie entered the game in the eighth inning but had another at-bat in the ninth, and he sent Marlins fans home happy after his walk-off, two-run homer to right-center field. Through his first three games with Miami, Caissie has gone 5-for-10 with two doubles, one steal and four RBI.
Caissie went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Rockies.
Starting at DH and batting eighth against southpaw Kyle Freeland, Caissie got the Marlins on the board in his debut for the team with an RBI double in the second inning. Caissie also struck out twice, however, and his ability to make consistent contact against big-league pitching is still the biggest question mark in his profile. The 23-year-old old, acquired from the Cubs in the offseason, has nothing left to prove in the minors after slashing .281/.379/.505 with 41 homers in 226 games at Triple-A Iowa over the last two seasons.

Connor Norby shifts from DH to first base, opening the DH spot for Caissie, who will be making his Marlins debut.
