Pauley will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one position, Pauley has now picked up starts in four of the Marlins' six games since being reinstated from the injured list Monday. He's seen action at three different spots in the infield, making two starts at third base and one apiece at second base and first base.

Pauley (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

EDGE Analysis

Pauley began a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Wednesday and is ready to return to big-league action after putting a right oblique injury behind him. He's made 48 starts at third base so far this season and should see opportunities down the stretch behind Connor Norby, though he could also receive occasional starts at second and first base when either Liam Hicks or Xavier Edwards (wrist) need a day off.

Pauley (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pauley has been on the shelf for more than three weeks with a right oblique strain but has been cleared to return to game action. He will play third base for Jacksonville on Wednesday and shouldn't need too many rehab contests before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Pauley will beat Connor Norby (quadriceps) back from the IL, so the former should be the Marlins' primary third baseman when he returns, at least until the latter is ready.

Pauley is expected to miss about four weeks after straining his right oblique over the weekend, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

That timeline would have the third baseman out until mid-September, and it's possible the Marlins end up shutting him down completely if his recovery has any hiccups. Pauley has slashed .273/.385/.527 over 25 games since the All-Star break with four home runs and an impressive 10:11 BB:K, but his prolonged absence could give Connor Norby (wrist) a chance to reclaim the starting job at the hot corner heading into 2026. While both players remain on the shelf for the time being, Javier Sanoja will likely see the bulk of the playing time at third base.

The Marlins placed Pauley on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right oblique strain.

EDGE Analysis

Miami hasn't shed light on the severity of the injury that Pauley sustained over the weekend, but given that even mild oblique strains typically entail more than a 10-day recovery, the 24-year-old is unlikely to return from the IL when first eligible Aug. 27. Miami recalled infielder Maximo Acosta from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move, but Javier Sanoja and Eric Wagaman may be likelier candidates to pick up starts at third base while Pauley is on the shelf.

Pauley was dealing with right side tightness Sunday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pauley did not appear in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Red Sox, which is now understood to have been the result of right side discomfort. The 24-year-old will likely undergo additional testing in the near future, and it's possible that he may require a stint on the injured list. Infielder Maximo Acosta is set to be called up Monday, which could be a move to replace Pauley on the 26-man roster.

Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Pauley will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters Troy Johnston, Liam Hicks and Jakob Marsee while the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the hill. Javier Sanoja will replace Pauley at third base and will bat fifth.

Pauley went 4-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Pauley reached base in all five plate appearances, highlighted by a 403-foot homer in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old has been productive in August, going 8-for-24 with three homers and a stolen base. For the year, he's slashing .239/.318/.388 with four long balls, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored and two steals across 152 plate appearances and should continue to see regular at-bats while Connor Norby (wrist) remains sidelined.

Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

After going 2-for-12 with a pair of home runs, three RBI and a stolen base while starting the last five games, Pauley will retreat to the bench while Atlanta sends southpaw Joey Wentz to the bump. Javier Sanoja will spell Pauley at the hot corner.

Pauley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The third baseman capped a five-run second inning when he ripped a Carlos Carrasco sinker down the right-field line. Pauley is batting .292 (7-for-24) over his last 10 games, a stretch that includes all three of his homers in the majors this season.
