Marlins’ Connor Norby to Miss Opening Day with Oblique Injury

The third baseman is sidelined for approximately four weeks as the team prioritizes his long-term health, with Kevin Wagaman stepping in temporarily.

Connor Norby sustained a Grade 1 left oblique strain during a Grapefruit League game against the Astros on March 22, 2025.
The Marlins officially placed Norby on the injured list on March 25, estimating a four-week recovery period.
This is Norby’s second oblique injury during Spring Training in his career, with this instance described as more severe than the previous one.
Kevin Wagaman, a natural first baseman, will temporarily fill the third base role during Norby’s absence.
Norby, acquired in the Trevor Rogers trade, is seen as a key player for the Marlins’ future and had been preparing for a breakout season.
