Third baseman Connor Norby will be sidelined for six to eight weeks following wrist surgery to fix a broken hamate bone. The injury, initially diagnosed as wrist inflammation, progressed after bothering him during a game. Norby, acquired in a trade from Baltimore, had a promising start but regressed this season, with a batting average of .241 and fewer home runs than the previous year. The Marlins will rely on Graham Pauley and Javier Sanoja during his recovery, as they seek to fill the third base position.
