Norby’s Saturday Grapefruit League oblique injury sidelines him for a month, opening third base for Eric Wagaman, Jonah Bride, and Graham Pauley on the Marlins’ roster Tuesday. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for a midseason return to Miami’s 2025 lineup if his recovery stays on track post-four weeks.

His performance today was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat challenging season, marked by a .249 batting average and a high strikeout rate. Despite these struggles, Norby's ability to contribute significantly in games like today shows potential for fantasy relevance, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against favorable matchups. His power numbers with nine home runs and a .329 wOBA suggest that he can provide some pop, though consistency remains an issue.
