Rockies' Connor Norby: Heading to bench Sunday
Rotowire
Norby is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Rockies' Connor Norby: Moves up to big leagues
Rotowire
The Rockies recalled Norby from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
He'll be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Tyler Freeman (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Before being traded to the Rockies a week ago, Norby appeared in 65 games at the big-league level for the Marlins this season and slashed .203/.313/.325 with six steals and four home runs across 233 plate appearances. Norby played exclusively at third base and first base during his time at Miami, but he's also seen reps at second base and in left field at the Triple-A level this season.
The Marlins traded Norby and Aiden May to the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Victor Vodnik, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Norby, who was optioned to Triple-A on June 26, has a .234/.302/.383 slash line with 21 home runs, 17 steals and 0.8 fWAR in 198 career games in the majors. He played 43 games at first base, 13 games at third base and 12 games at designated hitter with Miami.

Marlins' Connor Norby: Heading to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins will option Norby to Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Friday's game versus the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Norby has had a dismal June with a .194/.306/.290 slash line across 36 plate appearances. The utility fielder had been seeing a decrease in playing time, and now he will try to reset in Triple-A. A corresponding move is yet to be revealed.
Norby will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Norby's playing time has been trending down lately while the Marlins have been keeping the hot-hitting Heriberto Hernandez's bat in the lineup. Miami will include Norby in the lineup Sunday for just the fifth time in the last 11 games, with the 26-year-old covering the hot corner this time after his previous four starts had come at first base. With Hernandez gaining a foothold in left field, the Marlins could continue to lean primarily on Liam Hicks and Kyle Stowers at first base rather than Norby, who is slashing a measly .193/.317/.307 since the beginning of May.
