Rotowire
The Marlins selected Conine's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Conine will reach the big leagues for the first time in his career at age 27, replacing the injured Xavier Edwards (back) on the active roster. The outfielder had spent the entire season at Jacksonville, slashing .264/.347/.472 with 19 home runs and 68 RBI over 438 plate appearances. He's expected to serve as a part-time player while he's up with the Marlins and could see occasional starts against right-handed pitching at either designated hitter or in the corner outfield.

Marlins' Griffin Conine: Moves up to Double-A
Rotowire
The Marlins promoted Conine from High-A Beloit to Double-A Pensacola on Sunday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.
Conine will get a tougher test after he clubbed a minor-league leading 23 home runs over 66 games at Beloit. The power production came with a dismal 35.8 percent strikeout rate, however, and the lack of consistent contact coupled with Conine's advanced age -- he turned 24 years old earlier this month -- limits his appeal in dynasty leagues.

Blue Jays' Griffin Conine: Makes up for lost time
Rotowire
Conine went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI for Low-A Lansing on Thursday.
After collecting a single and striking out twice in his first game of the season Wednesday, Conine showed little rust in game No. 2. The Blue Jays' No. 13 fantasy prospect missed the first 50 games due to a PED suspension, but given that he's already 21 years old and was a second-round pick out of Duke in 2018, his stay in the Midwest League could be a brief one if he continues punishing opposing pitchers like this.
