Caissie (neck) will start in right field and bat sixth Saturday against the Cubs.
Neck spasms kept Caissie out of the starting lineup for each of Miami's last three games, though he was able to enter Friday's contest off the bench. Now fully healthy, he'll aim to turn things around at the plate after slashing .161/.254/.250 across 63 plate appearances since the beginning of August.

Marlins' Owen Caissie: Dealing with neck spasms
Rotowire
Caissie hasn't been in the lineup the last two days due to neck spasms, MLB.com reports.
The 24-year-old likely would have sat Wednesday anyway against southpaw Noah Cameron, but Caissie's absence Thursday against right-hander Michael Wacha was a hint that something was amiss. He was apparently available off the bench for the series finale in Kansas City, although he went unused. Caissie will likely sit again Friday against lefty Shota Imanaga, but if he continues to improve he could slot back in as the right fielder Saturday with Clay Holmes on the bump for the Cubs.

Marlins' Owen Caissie: Quick start to rehab stint
Rotowire
Caissie (calf) went 1-for-1 with two walks and a solo home run for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old outfielder hasn't suited up for the Marlins since July 8 due to a calf strain, but he made an immediate impact on his rehab assignment after being cleared for game action. Caissie was the DH on Tuesday, but per Perla Paredes of MLB.com, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough indicated Caissie would play defense Wednesday, and he could be activated from the IL as soon as this weekend.
Caissie (calf) was spotted taking live batting practice at LoanDepot Park on Monday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Barral previously reported Wednesday that Caissie was running at about 85 percent intensity and increasing his defensive and plyometric work, and the young outfielder's ability to face live pitching Monday seemingly represents another step in the right direction. Caissie has been on the shelf since July 9 due to a right calf strain but could soon be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Rotowire
Caissie (calf) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Before being deactivated July 9 due to a right calf strain, Caissie had cobbled together a .239/.297/.459 slash line with 12 home runs, four stolen bases, 50 RBI and 30 runs over 80 games with Miami.

Marlins' Owen Caissie: Progressing in recovery
Rotowire
Caissie (calf) has been cleared to hit and has increased his defensive and plyometric work, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Caissie has also been running "up to 85 percent" intensity and continues to progress in his recovery from a mild right calf strain that landed him on the injured list July 9. The initial recovery timeline was 2-to-4 weeks, so the 24-year-old outfielder could be back with the Marlins by late July or early August, depending on when/if he goes on a rehab assignment.
Marlins' Owen Caissie: Expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks
Rotowire
Caissie was diagnosed with a mild right calf strain Thursday, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.
Caissie landed on the injured list Thursday after making an early exit from Wednesday's game, and although the severity of his strain is mild, he'll still have to spend more than the 10-day minimum on the IL and aim to rejoin the Marlins at some point in late July or early August. In the meantime, Rece Hinds, Heriberto Hernandez and Esteury Ruiz will be in the mix for starts in the outfield.

Caissie had to be lifted from Wednesday's contest with right calf tightness. He could be dealing with a strain, but the Marlins will have more specifics on Caissie's status later Thursday. Heriberto Hernandez and Esteury Ruiz will likely see an uptick in playing time while Caissie is shelved, and Rece Hinds is expected to take Caissie's spot on the active roster.
