Pauley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Pauley has hit the bench for two of the Marlins' first three games, with both of his absences coming against southpaws. The 25-year-old could eventually find himself in a platoon at third base with Connor Norby, but the Marlins should have plenty of playing time available for both players while Christopher Morel (oblique) and Kyle Stowers (hamstring) are on the shelf.
