Graham Pauley Expected to Get Infield Reps Next Weekend
The Miami Marlins are targeting next weekend for third baseman Graham Pauley (arm) to resume playing the infield, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. When he gets back onto the field, he'll return to his natural position at third base, where he played 52 big-league games last year. Pauley slashed just .224/.311/.366 with 90 wRC+ in 2025, but he delivered above-average contributions on defense (6 OAA and 5 FRV), suggesting he's in line to earn substantial reps at third base during the 2026 regular season. It's unclear if Pauley's arm injury, which he's been dealing with since February, will end up jeopardizing his shot at appearing on the Opening Day roster. Miami is fortunate to have depth at the position in case Pauley misses extended time. Replacement options include projected starting third baseman Connor Norby or Javier Sanoja.
