Marlins 3B Connor Norby (wrist surgery) out 6-8 weeks
Norby had his hamate bone repaired during the procedure performed in Phoenix.
Norby, 25, felt soreness in the wrist during Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. He was placed on the injured list Sunday due to wrist inflammation.
"I think he was just more disappointed that he was going to have to miss some time," Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said before Friday's home game against the Kansas City Royals. "He felt like, right now, that he was trending (in the right direction), and he had some confidence in what he was doing. So for him to miss out on however much time it is for him, it's disappointing, and for us as well."
Norby is batting .241 with six homers and 26 RBIs in 72 games. He also missed time early in the season due to a left oblique strain.
Norby was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles at last season's trade deadline in a deal that also brought All-Star outfielder Kyle Stowers to Miami. The Marlins gave up left-hander Trevor Rogers in the deal.
Graham Pauley started at third base for Miami on Friday.

Reds place LHP Nick Lodolo (finger) on 15-day IL
August 5 - The Cincinnati Reds placed left-hander Nick Lodolo on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a blister on his left index finger. Lodolo left the series opener against the Chicago Cubs on Monday after just 1 2/3 innings. Five relievers went the rest of the way for the Reds, who won 3-2 and sit three games out of the National League's third and final wild-card berth entering Tuesday. Lodolo, 27, is 8-6 with a 3.05 ERA in 23 appearances (all starts) this season. A first-round draft pick (seventh overall) by Cincinnati in 2019, Lodolo is 23-20 with a 4.02 ERA in 70 career appearances (all starts) with the team. Also on Tuesday, the Reds recalled right-hander Yosver Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville. Zulueta, 27, has a 3.86 ERA without a decision in two relief appearances this season with Cincinnati. He allowed one run on no hits over 2 1/3 innings. He made 12 appearances in 2024, his first major league season, pitching 16 1/3 innings and giving up nine earned runs with 20 strikeouts and seven walks. He has yet to register a decision in the majors. --Field Level Media

Rory McIlroy sparks concern among fellow players by skipping the first leg of PGA Tour playoffs
's latest absence from the PGA Tour isn't a surprise, but it is worrying to rivals fighting to legitimize the FedEx Cup playoffs. The five-time major winner is skipping this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis at TPC Southwind, where he will be the only eligible player not participating in a tournament named for its top sponsor. Asked about the world's No. 2 opting out of one of the playoffs' three legs, rival golfer and PGA Tour Policy Board player director Peter Malnati told Golf Week he was 'very concerned.' Unfortunately for Malnati, there's not much the tour can do to stop McIlroy from skipping a third event this season. With 3,444 points in the FedEx Cup standings, second only to Scottie Scheffler, McIlroy has a comfortable 849-point cushion over third-place Sepp Straka. And since the current FedEx Cup format features a progressive cut, McIlroy can count on advancing to next week's BMW Championship in Owings Mills, Maryland. From there, provided he remains in the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings, McIlroy would advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. McIlroy actually played in the St. Jude Championship last year, finishing at the bottom of the filed without much of a penalty. 'I mean, I finished basically dead last there this year, and only moved down one spot in the playoff standings,' he told reporters in 2024. McIlroy has already earned $10 million this year thanks to a Masters win and other successes. But the loophole that allowed him to skate by to the second leg of the postseason could be up for review. 'I think there is stuff in the works and I'll leave it at that,' Malnati told Golfweek. Tour Policy Board member Webb Simpson didn't so quite so optimistic. 'I think it's too hard of a thing to make guys have to play,' Simpson told Golfweek. 'We're still a sport where you can play when you want to play.' The FedEx St. Jude Championship starts Thursday with $20 million in prize money at stake.
