Marlins' Griffin Conine: Two more hits Sunday
Conine went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
Getting the start in right field and batting third, the 27-year-old reached base off Sonny Gray to lead off the third and fourth innings and came around to score each time. Conine is pushing for a starting spot in an outfield corner, and his path got a little clearer when Jesus Sanchez injured his side Thursday and could be ticketed for the IL to begin the year. Through 40 plate appearances this spring, Conine is slashing .286/.375/.371 with one home run and a 4:8 BB:K.

Marlins' Griffin Conine: Making case for left field job
Conine went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
The 27-year-old took Erick Fedde deep in the second inning for a two-run shot as he continues to make a push for the Marlins' starting job in left field. The homer was Conine's first of the spring and he has just a .259 batting average (7-for-27), but his main competition, Kyle Stowers, is hitting just .176 (3-for-17) with nine strikeouts, although he's also drawn seven walks. The Marlins arguably have more invested in Stowers after picking him up from the Orioles last season, but per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the team would like to take a longer look at both players to determine if either can be a big part of the future. This job battle could come down to the wire, and might extend into the regular season if both Conine and Stowers are included on the 26-man roster.

The 27-year-old has started five of six games in right field since being called up by Miami last week, but he'll sit Tuesday versus Washington lefty Patrick Corbin.
