Joe Mack Returns to Action Following Brief Injury
Miami Marlins catching prospect Joe Mack (neck) returned to the starting lineup during Tuesday's spring training contest against the Washington Nationals. The young back was sidelined for a few days due to neck stiffness, but quickly returned to action. In his return, Mack struggled at the plate, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. The former 31st overall selection is in serious consideration to break camp with the MLB roster. Last summer, Mack spent the majority of his campaign at Triple-A (99 games), where he hit .250/.320/.459 line with a .779 OPS. During this stint, Mack hit 18 home runs and carried a modest 115:35 K:BB. If Mack can enjoy a strong conclusion to camp, he could contend for a depth role on the MLB roster. If he were to fall short, he would be in contention for an early promotion.
