Rotowire
Norby went 1-for-5 in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Seeing his first MLB game action of the year after beginning the season on the IL due to an oblique strain, Norby struck out twice but did bang a single into left field in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old third baseman hit second Thursday against southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez, and he's likely to have a prominent spot in the order against right-handers as well as the Marlins search for offense. Norby slashed .247/.315/.445 with seven homers over 36 games for Miami last season after being acquired from Baltimore.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Launches first spring homer
Rotowire
Norby went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's split-squad game against the Nationals.
The third baseman took Shinnosuke Ogasawara deep in the first inning, giving Norby his first homer of the spring. The 24-year-old slashed .247/.315/.445 with seven homers and 17 RBI in 36 games last season for the Marlins after being acquired from the O's, and while his minor-league track record suggests he can improve on those numbers once he gets comfortable in the Show, his 32.1 percent strikeout rate with Miami needs work. Norby's gone 8-for-28 (.286) through nine appearances this spring, but that comes with a 1:7 BB:K.

Rotowire
Norby went 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Diamondbacks. He was also caught stealing.

Norby had been slashing .271/.338/.373 with one home run in 14 games for Triple-A Jacksonville since the late-July trade that brought him over from Baltimore, and he'll get a chance to lock down an everyday role for Miami over the final weeks of 2024.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Traded to Miami in Rogers package
Rotowire
The Marlins acquired Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers from the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Trevor Rogers, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Norby was one of Baltimore's top prospects and had recently been operating as the club's primary second baseman, but he's now making his way to Miami. The 24-year-old has a .594 OPS in his first nine big-league games but has a .300/.392/.522 slash line with 16 home runs and 13 steals in 80 games at Triple-A Norfolk this season. Norby should have a regular spot in the lineup for the Marlins the rest of the way, which offers him a more secure outlook than he had in the Orioles' crowded infield.

Orioles' Connor Norby: Officially promoted to big leagues
Rotowire
The Orioles selected Norby's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
It's the first major-league promotion for Norby, who has batted .286/.374/.510 with nine home runs and seven stolen bases this season at Norfolk. Second base has been Norby's primary position in the minors, although he's seen a little more time in the outfield this season at Norfolk.

Norby will man the keystone and bat ninth in Monday's series opener in Toronto.

Orioles' Connor Norby: Set for spring debut Sunday
Rotowire
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Norby (side) will make his spring debut as a reserve in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Norby has been slowed in camp due to slight left side soreness, but the injury shouldn't be anything that prevents him from being ready to go for the start of Triple-A Norfolk's season in April. Hyde didn't say whether Norby would be deployed in the field or eased back in as a designated hitter Sunday, but the 23-year-old is likely to check into the contest in the later innings.
