Connor Norby Quiet Since Joining Miami

Miami Marlins second base prospect Connor Norby has gone 1-for-10 at the plate with six punchouts since joining the Miami Marlins organization.

As expected, Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the fourth straight game on Tuesday against the hosting Kansas City Royals due to a stomach bug.
