Marlins Recall Connor Norby, Designate Rivera

Connor Norby has been recalled by the Miami Marlins from Triple-A Jacksonville and is set to secure an everyday role at third base. Acquired from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline, Norby had been slashing .271/.338/.373 with one homer in 14 games for Jacksonville. Despite primarily being a second baseman, Norby has adapted to third base, a position he hasn't played in years. In his MLB career, Norby is a .188 hitter with a .594 OPS, but he has shown promise in Triple-A with a .294 average and 42 home runs across 241 games. The Marlins designated Emmanuel Rivera for assignment to make room for Norby, hoping his bat will be a positive addition to their lineup.
