Norby went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run Wednesday against the Rockies.
Norby made his return to Colorado's lineup after sitting each of the team's last two games -- both of which came against righties. He provided the Rockies' only run of the game with his seventh home run of the season and second in his last 11 starts. Norby has also hit .273 with eight RBI and seven runs scored in that span, though he's still lost playing time due to the return of Kyle Karros.

Rotowire

Marlins' Connor Norby: Filling in at third base
Rotowire
Norby will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Norby's playing time has been trending down lately while the Marlins have been keeping the hot-hitting Heriberto Hernandez's bat in the lineup. Miami will include Norby in the lineup Sunday for just the fifth time in the last 11 games, with the 26-year-old covering the hot corner this time after his previous four starts had come at first base. With Hernandez gaining a foothold in left field, the Marlins could continue to lean primarily on Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers at first base rather than Norby, who is slashing a measly .193/.317/.307 since the beginning of May.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Leaves with elbow discomfort
Rotowire
The Marlins announced that Norby was removed ahead of the sixth inning of Sunday's 4-0 win over the Mets due to left elbow discomfort, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. He went 0-for-1 at the plate prior to his departure.
After being struck in the left elbow by a pitch in the bottom of the fourth, Norby took his base and played an inning in the field before the Marlins opted to pull him from the contest. X-rays appear to have ruled out any structural damage to Norby's elbow, but he could be dealing with enough soreness and swelling that the Marlins opt to hold him out of the lineup for Monday's series opener in Toronto.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Exiting starting nine Monday
Rotowire
Norby is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Though he'll be taking a seat for Monday's series finale, Norby still appears to be ahead of Christopher Morel in the pecking order at first base.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Swipes first two bags of season
Rotowire
Norby went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers.
A late addition to the lineup at DH due to an illness for Liam Hicks, Norby knocked a one-out single in the eighth inning and then promptly stole second and third base off the battery of Blake Treinen and Will Smith before being stranded. They were the first SBs of the season for Norby, and over his last 18 games he's slashing a solid .270/.347/.460 with three doubles, three homers, five runs and nine RBI. With Christopher Morel off the IL, Norby could be headed for a super-utility role that sees him bounce between first base, third base and DH as needed.

The infielder is batting .244 with a .756 OPS, three long balls, 10 RBI, seven runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 90 plate appearances this season.

Marlins' Christopher Morel: Closing in on rehab assignment
Rotowire
Morel (oblique) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville during the upcoming week, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
The 26-year-old was given an estimated timeline of 4-6 weeks when he landed on the IL in late March, and Morel looks to be eyeing a return on the short end of that window with a shot at activation before the end of April. Once he's reinstated, Morel may face competition for starts at first base from Connor Norby, though Norby could also move across the diamond and unseat the struggling Graham Pauley as the Marlins' primary third baseman.
